SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-528/96-20; 50-529/96-20; 50-530/96-20

Dear Mr. Levine:

On October 7-11, 1996, an NRC inspection of the facility physical security

program for the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2 and 3 was ,

conductad. The inspection activities consisted of selective examinations of l

procedures and representative. records, interviews with personnel, and

observation of activities in progress. l

During the inspection, four unresolved items were identified. One of the

unresolved items involved the implementation of changes made to your physical 1

security plan between March 1,1996 and August 29, 1996. This item is l

discussed in Section S2.4 of the enclosed inspection report and has been  !

referred to the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation for resolution. The

other three unresolved items, which involved your vehicle barrier system, are i

discussed in Section S1.1. You are requested to review the potential

enforcement issues associated with these three unresolved items and provide a

written response within 30 days to this office which articulates your position

as to why you believe the vehicle barrier system unresolved items are not

violations of your physical security plan. I

The material enclosed herewith contains Safeguards Information as defined by

10 CFR 73.21 and its disclosure to unauthorized individuals is prohibited by

Section 147 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. Therefore, the

material will not be placed in the Public Document Room.

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased I

to discuss them with you. l
