Dear Sir: Subject: Palo Verde Nuclear Generating

Station (PVNGS)Units 1, 2, and 3 Docket Nos: 50-528, 50-529, 50-530 Response to NRC Followup Supplemental

Inspection

Report (05000528/2006010;

05000529/2006010;

05000530/2006010)

The intent of this letter is to document the actions that APS is taking to address the remaining

open items, as described

in the NRC Followup Supplemental

Inspection

Report (NRC Inspection

Report 50-528/529/530/2006-010), dated October 11, 2006.The report discussed

the results of the NRC inspection

using Inspection

Procedure 95002 for the facility's

Yellow finding. APS has modified its action plan to address comments from the NRC inspection

report as well as our own concerns as we continue to monitor and adjust the plan in response to results.The inspection

report discussed

the results of the ten focus areas that the inspection

team reviewed.

The inspection

report identified

that, with respect to the Yellow finding, nine of those areas are closed. APS will continue improvements

in each of the nine areas and will monitor the effectiveness

of those actions. The closed focus areas include: Focus Area 1, "Procedures

Did Not Contain Necessary

Requirements" Focus Area 2, "Lack of Specific Provisions

in the Design and Licensing

Basis" Focus Area 4, "Inadequate

Communication

of Design Information" I I

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission

Dr. B. S. Mallett Response to NRC Followup Supplemental

Inspection

Report dated October 11, 2006 Page 2 Focus Area 5, "Inadequate

Problem Identification

and Resolution" Focus Area 6, "Limited or Weak Operating

Experience

Program" Focus Area 7, "Limited Experience

and Training" Focus Area 8, "Limited Resources" Focus Area 9, "Limited Nuclear Assurance

Department

Oversight" Focus Area 10, "Limited Procedural

Guidance" One focus area remaine'd

open, requiring

additional

action: Focus Area 3, "Lack of Questioning

Attitude and Technical

Rigor of Individuals." APS agrees that corrective

actions for concerns involving

questioning

attitude, technical

rigor, and technical

review have not been fully effective.

Performance

measures and metrics to monitor the corrective

actions that have been taken in this area had not been fully developed

and, therefore, had not been effective

in identifying

needed adjustments

to the corrective

actions. These remaining issues and our actions to address them are listed in detail in the enclosure.

We are confident

these actions when implemented

will address our and the NRC's remaining

concerns for this area and will support closure of the Yellow finding.Two focus areas, while closed for the purposes of the 95002 inspection, also require additional

actions:* Focus Area 5, "Inadequate

Problem Identification

and Resolution." While corrective

actions specific to the Yellow finding have been completed, we understand

that improvement

in the corrective

action program is still needed. It is our understanding

that future NRC reviews associated

with this area will be handled under the PI & R substantive

crosscutting

issue. The Corrective

Action Area of our Performance

Improvement

Plan will include the actions to address these corrective

action program deficiencies." Focus Area 6, "Limited or Weak Operating

Experience

Program." The inspection

team concluded

that corrective

actions did not incorporate

routine use of operating

experience (OE) in emergent activities.

Further NRC review of corrective

actions related to OE in daily activities

will be performed

during NRC assessment

of Focus Area 3. Our actions to address these concerns are incorporated

into the enclosed action plan.As discussed

in the inspection

report, during the September

7, 2006 public meeting, APS indicated

that success measures would be developed

for NRC review prior to our request for an additional

NRC assessment

of the Yellow finding.

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission

Dr. B. S. Mallett Response to NRC Followup Supplemental

Inspection

Report dated October 11, 2006 Page 3 The actions described

in the enclosure

provide the success measures for focus areas 3 and 6. The measures are currently

in various stages of implementation

and completion, as noted.APS will notify the NRC when these measures have been implemented

sufficiently

and show the desired results, as defined in the enclosed plan. At that time, we will request a followup inspection.

The listed completion

dates are for completion

of the related action items and do not represent

dates by which we expect to have achieved the results required to ask for a followup inspection.

The actions described

in this letter represent

corrective

action plans; they are not considered

to be regulatory

commitments.

Closure Action Plan Action Item 1: Revise Operational

Decision Making guidance (ODP- 16)Problem Statement:

Station personnel

are missing opportunities

to use the Operational

Decision Making process for degraded conditions.

Action Plan Goal: To develop additional

tools for Operational

Decision Making and increase the use and effectiveness

of ODP-16.Actions Previously

Taken: (a) Benchmarked

current guidance contained

in Operations

ODP- 16 (Principles

for Effective Operational

Decision-Making

and the use of Management

Review Teams) with guidance from other utilities (Exelon and Entergy).(b) Implemented

an interim change to procedure

ODP-16 based on benchmarking

results.Current Status: Decision Making Errors (DME) metric indicates

that additional

actions are required.Actions to be taken: (a) The following

actions will be taken to improve the use of ODMI process: E Include an assessment

for emergent issues in the Shift Manager Turnover (SMTO)0 Include an assessment

for off-normal

alignment

in the Crew Turnover sheet.m Include an assessment

for shift activities

in the crew briefing template.0 Brief the Operations

staff on the resultant

Operations

Department

Training (LOCT) on the Operational

Decision Making process. Training to include review of case studies.Metric Intent: To measure the number of Decisions

Making Errors (DME) for Operations, Engineering, Maintenance, and site as captured via the Corrective

Action Program (CRDRs).Events captured in the metric that occurred pre-2006 are referred to as "Latent" and are tracked for informational

purposes.Metrics: Site metric for Decision Making Errors 1. Decision Making Errors -Operations

Metric Description

Decision Making Errors Operations, Engineering, Maintenance, Palo Verde Site, Latent Criteria:

The following

are inputs to the overall DME metric for each group listed above.1. Lack of technical

rigor o A deficient

product or document due to technical

inaccuracies

because all the facts were not gathered, the facts were incorrect, and/or the wrong conclusions

were made. This includes "narrow focus" approaches

to problems or solutions.

2. Failure to recognize

hazard, error, or deficiency

o A failure to recognize

a deficient

or abnormal condition

-unawareness.

3. Lack of questioning

attitude o Information

received or observed and is contrary to the expected or the norm. Some amount of knowledge-based

analysis is performed, but is inadequate.

Usually characterized

as mindset, tunnel vision, and wrong assumptions.

4. Proceeding

in the face of uncertainty

o Confronted

with an abnormal situation

or information

and no gathering

of facts, conclusions, and/or decision making are apparent and action is taken. Characterized

as overly optimistic, overconfident, etc.5. Non-conservative

decision-making

o All the facts are gathered and weighed, but the wrong or non-conservative

decision is made between two or more possible solutions (e.g., production

over safety margin). Characterized

as "can do" attitude, inappropriate

attitude, etc.Data ,oal: o Site DME Metric goal is management

Current Status: Formalizing

the program and the training to ensure that appropriate

plant personnel

identify these types of conditions.

Actions to be Taken: (a) Create a "stand-alone" procedure

to walk down safety-significant

systems weekly on a 12-week schedule." Add instructions

to identify personnel

safety issues and other common walkdown areas of interest." Develop a plant walkdown pre-job brief to ensure consistency

of issues identified

in the walkdowns." Include Maintenance

Fix It Now (FIN) team in the weekly walkdowns." Coordinate

weekly schedule with Maintenance

and Engineering.(b) Provide plant walkdown classroom

training for AOs.(c) Develop and administer

a practical

demonstration

of plant walkdowns

to the AOs.(d) Provide additional

plant Walkdown training to improve general knowledge

of walkdown expectations

for STAs, FIN, Maintenance
