Mr. Robert S. Bement
Executive Vice President Nuclear/
Chief Nuclear Officer
Arizona Public Service Company P.O. Box 52034, MS 7602 Phoenix, AZ 85072-2034
SUBJECT: PALO VERDE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION - NOTIFICATION OF NRC DESIGN BASES ASSURANCE INSPECTION (PROGRAMS)
05000528/2018011, 05000529/2018011, AND 05000530/2018011 INITIAL REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Bement:
On April 24, 2018, the NRC will begin an inspection at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. A three-person team will perform this inspection using NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.21N, "Design Bases Inspection (Programs)," Attachment 1, "Environmental Qualification under 10 CFR 50.49 Programs, Processes, and Procedures."
This inspection will evaluate the implementation of the environmental qualification of electrical equipment program, as required by the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Operating License. Additionally, the team will perform an inspection of the equipment qualification
documentation files to verify that electrical equipment important to safety meets the requirements of 10 CFR 50.49. The team will select components that will be subjected to harsh
environments and required mitigate the consequences of a design basis accident.
The inspection will include an information gathering site visit by the team leader and risk analyst, and two weeks of on-site inspection by the team. The inspection will consist of three NRC inspectors. The current inspection schedule is as follows:
On-site Information Gathering Visit: April 24-26, 2018 Preparation Weeks: April 30-May 4 and May 14-18, 2018 On-site Weeks: May 7-11 and May 21-25, 2018
The purpose of the information gathering visit is to meet with members of your staff to become familiar with the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station environmental qualification program. The lead inspector will request a meeting with your personnel to discuss the site environmental qualification program and procedures. Additionally, the lead inspector will request a discussion with your staff to become familiar with the equipment qualification regulations and standards to
which the site is committed. Additional information and documentation needed to support the
inspection will be identified during the inspection, including interviews with engineering
managers and engineers.
R. Bement 2 Our experience with these inspections has shown that they are resource intensive, both for the NRC inspectors and the licensee staff. In order to minimize the inspection impact on the site and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed a request for information needed for the inspection. This information should be made available to the lead inspector on or before the April 24, 2018, visit. Since the inspection will be concentrated on the environmental qualification
of the equipment, the equipment qualification master list should be available to review during
the information gathering visit to assist in our selection of components.
It is requested that this information be provided to the lead inspector as the information is generated during the inspection. Additional requests by inspectors will be made during the on-site week for specific documents needed to complete the review of that component/selection.
It is important that all of these documents are up-to-date and complete in order to minimize the
number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the on-site portions of
the inspection. In order to facilitate the inspection, we request that a contact individual be assigned to each inspector to ensure information requests, questions, and concerns are addressed in a timely manner.
The lead inspector for this inspection is Wayne Sifre. We understand that our licensing
engineer contact for this inspection is Sean Dornseif. If there are any questions about the inspection or the requested materials, please contact the lead inspector by telephone at 817-200-1193 or by e-mail at Wayne.Sifre@nrc.gov.
This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information
collection requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, control number 3150-0011. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a request for information or an information collection requirement unless the
requesting document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control
number.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice and Procedure," a copy of this letter will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). Sincerely, /RA/ Thomas R. Farnholtz, Chief Engineering Branch 1
