NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. STN 50-528, STN 50-529, and STN 50-530]

 

Arizona Public Service Company, et al. Palo Verde Nuclear 
Generating Station, Units 1, 2, and 3; Issuance of Director's Decision 
Under 10 CFR 2.206

    Notice is hereby given that the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor 
Regulation, has issued a Director's Decision concerning a Petition 
dated October 23,1992, filed by Thomas J. Saporito, Jr., under 
Sec. 2.206 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 
2.206). The petition contained statements and allegations regarding the 
main steam and pressurizer safety valves and other matters regarding 
the operation of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (Palo 
Verde). The Petition requested that the three Palo Verde units be 
immediately shut down until such time as a safety evaluation can be 
performed on the safety valves at Palo Verde. The Petition also 
requested that the NRC initiate a proceeding to show cause why the 
operating licenses for the Palo Verde units should not be modified, 
suspended, or revoked. In a supplement to the Petition dated January 4, 
1993, Petitioner also requested that the NRC take appropriate 
enforcement action against Arizona Public Service Company (the 
licensee) and deny the license amendment application dated November 13, 
1990, regarding revised setpoint tolerances for the main steam and 
pressurizer safety valves.
    The Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation has 
determined that the requests should be denied for the reasons stated in 
the ``Director's Decision Under 10 CFR 2.206'' (DD-94-04), which is 
available for inspection and copying in the Commission's Public 
Document Room, Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC 
20555, and at the local public document room located at the Phoenix 
Public Library, 12 East McDowell Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85004.
    A copy of the decision has been filed with the Secretary of the 
Commission for the Commission's review in accordance with 10 CFR 
2.206(c). As provided therein, this decision will become the final 
action of the Commission 25 days after issuance unless the Commission, 
on its own motion, institutes review of the decision within that time.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 16th day of May 1994.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
William T. Russell,
Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
