SUBJECT:
MEETING SUMMARY DISCUSSING PAL0 VERDE APPARENT VIOLATION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000528; 529; 530/200501 I )
Dear Mr. Overbeck:
On June 1, 2005, representatives of Arizona Public Service Company met with NRC personnel in the Region IV office located in Arlington, Texas, to discuss the apparent violation identified in NRC Inspection Report 05000528; 529; 530/2005011. The conference was held at the request of the licensee. The apparent violation occurred when changes to emergency action levels at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station resulted in a decrease in the effectiveness of the emergency plan. Arizona Public Service Company agreed that changes made to the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Emergency Plan decreased the effectiveness of the plan, and that a violation of NRC regulations occurred. The licensee presented additional information regarding immediate and long-term corrective actions and the extent of condition of the problem.
The meeting attendance list and a copy of the NRC and licensee presentations are included as Enclosures 1 through 3. The Arizona Public Service Company presentation was redacted to remove potentially sensitive information. No commitments were made by Arizona Public Service Company during the conference.
In accordance with Section 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title IO, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC's 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 httD://www.nrc.uov/readinrr-rm/adams.html(the Public Electronic Reading Room).
