==Dear Mr. Edington:==
On November 18, 2011, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at your Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2, and 3. The inspection covered one or more of the key attributes of the security cornerstone of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on November 18, 2011, with Mrs. Maria Lacal, Vice President, Operations Support, and other members of your staff.

NRC SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT 05000528/2011402, 05000529/2011402 AND 05000530/2011402

Dear Mr. Edington:

On November 18, 2011, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at your Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2, and 3. The inspection covered one or more of the key attributes of the security cornerstone of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on November 18, 2011, with Mrs. Maria Lacal, Vice President, Operations Support, and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection, no findings were identified. However, two licensee-identified violations, which were determined to be of very low security significance, are listed in this report. Because of the very low security significance and because these violations were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these violations as noncited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest either of these noncited violations, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN.: Document Control Desk, Washington D.C. 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IV; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station.

- 2 - In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs document system, ADAMS.

ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). However, because of the security-related concerns contained in the enclosure, and in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, a copy of this letters enclosure will not be available for public inspection.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1)(ii), the NRC is waiving the affidavit requirements for your response, if any. This practice will ensure that your response will not be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRCs document system, ADAMS. If Safeguards Information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please provide the level of protection described in 10 CFR 73.21. Otherwise, mark your entire response Security-Related Information-Withhold Under 10 CFR 2.390 and follow the instructions for withholding in 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1).
