TO DISCUSS PALO VERDE PERFORMANCE ISSUES Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will meet with Arizona Public Service Co. officials on April 5 to discuss performance trends at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. APS operates the plant, located about 55 miles west of Phoenix, Ariz.

The meeting will be from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. in the NRCs Region IV office in Arlington, Texas.

The public is invited to observe the meeting and will have one or more opportunities to communicate with the NRC after the business portion, but before the meeting is adjourned. Persons interested in participating in the conference via telephone can do so by calling (800) 952-9677 and asking to be transferred to the meeting.

In its annual assessment of plant performance, the NRC staff identified deficiencies in human performance and problem identification and resolution at the plant.
