Docket Nos. 50-528

50-529

50-530-

Arizona Nuclear Power Project

P. O. Box 52034

Phoenix, Arizona 85072-2034

Attention: Mr. E. E. Van Brunt Jr. ,

Executive Vice President

Gentlemen:

Subject: NRC Inspection of Palo Verde Units 1, 2 and 3.

This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. R. Zimmerman,

C. Bosted, G. Fiorelli, J. Ball and J. Melfi of this office on May 27,

1986, through June 30, 1986 of activities authorized by NRC License Nos.

NPF-41, NPF-51 and Construction Permit Number CPPR-143, and to the

discussion of our findings held with yourself and other members of your

staff at the conclusion of the inspection.

Areas examined during this inspection are described in the enclosed

inspection report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of

selective examinations of procedures and representative records, inter-

views with personnel, and observations by the inspectors.

Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that one of your

activities was not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as

set forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.

Additionally, paragraph 9 in the enclosed report documents a discrepancy

between the inputs used in the seismic calculation for the diesel

generator bridge cranes, and those required by the design specification.

This instance of failure to assure that procured equipment satisfies the

appropriate design specification is similar in nature to several examples

for which a violation was issued following the NRC Construction Appraisal

Team inspection conducted earlier this year (50-530/86-03). A report of

the team's findings and a Notice of Violation were transmitted to you on

April 4, and June 16, 1986, respectively. It is our understanding that

you have agreed to include your assessment and corrective actions

associated with the adequacy of the diesel generator bridge crane design

verification as part of your response to Item 2, in the Notice of

Violation issued on June 16, 1986. Also, it is our understanding that

you have agreed to respond to that Notice of Violation, in total, by the

revised date of July 28, 1986.
