2) PSEG Letter Dated January 14, 2005, PSEG Metrics for Improving The Work Environment Salem and Hope Creek .

Generating Stations, Quarterly Metrics Report - Error Notification This letter provides a copy of the published PSEG Nuclear quarterly metrics for the fourth quarter 2004. These metrics, previously identified to the NRC, were put in place to objectively measure the effectiveness of the Safety Conscious Work Environment (SCWE) improvements at Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations.

Also included with each metric is an analysis that describes progress to date on the particular metric.

Since our October 29, 2004 submittal (Ref. I ) , the following changedcorrections have been made:

I.The goal for Safety System Unavailability metrics has been changed from Industry Median Performance to Industry Top Quartile Performance. This is a more challenging goal than that presented in October 2004 and aligns directly with our internal goals for those systems.

Mr. Samuel Collins January 31 , 2005 LR-N05-0045

2. Accounting errors were identified in the Executive Review Board (ERB)

Action Approvals and Salem and Hope Creek Operational Challenges metrics (Ref. 2). The accounting errors did not affect our overall assessment of any of these metrics. These errors have been captured in our Corrective Action Program.

As the new Chief Nuclear Officer of PSEG Nuclear, 1 plan on further evaluating the overall effort to measure and improve the SCWE at Salem and Hope Creek.

I look forward to discussing the SCWE metrics, as well as the results of our upcoming employee survey, in our next public meeting.

On January 17, Exelon began providing operating services for Salem and Hope Creek. More than 20 employees from Exelon are now in various management positions, including Site Vice Presidents at Salem and Hope Creek. To introduce ourselves to the workforce, we had several all hands meetings with the employees at Salem and Hope Creek. Although not an official metric, I was pleased with the candor and response of the workforce. Most employees were receptive to the Exelon presence and very willing to raise their issues.

Prior to January 17, a number of personnel decisions were made that were related to implementation of the Operating Services Contract. The Executive Review Board (ERB) did not review those decisions. In order to ensure that those actions complied with 10 CFR 50.7, we are commissioning an independent review. In addition, the matter has been captured in our Corrective Action Program. Going forward, we will continue to use the ERB until and unless that process is changed in an appropriate manner.

If you have any further questions, please contact Christina Perino, Regulatory Assurance Director, at 856-339-1989.

Forty-eight cases [cases can involve more than one person] were reviewed by ERE in the 4th quarter.

Of those, 42 cases (88%) were concurred with by ERB. The remaining 6 cases were rejected by ERE due to process inconsistencies (e.g.. not following HR processes, inconsistent with past practice). No rejected cases involved instances of potential violation of 10 CFR 50.7.

Several interim measures to improve CFCU short-term reliability have been initiated and implemented. The long-term fix is a system modification that installs a new cooling system. With respect to the chillers, a study has been initiated to develop solutions for ensuring reliability ofthe chillers until the end of plant life. For the WGA. the failures have been evaluated, resulting in procedure changes t o ensure accurate calibration of WGA instruments.

This outage work scope significantly reduced future planned online maintenance unavailabilityhours Actions in 2005 will include continuingto minimize unavailabilty hours of the online workwindows by optimizing EDG schedules and performingwork in parallel.

In 2004, Salem Unit 1 atodliaryfeedwater availabilitywas challenged by repeat failures of a wive that admits steam into a turbine that drives the 13 aux feed pump and failure of the overspeed trip latch mechanism. For the steam admission valve. repeated efforts to correct the condition resulted in unavailability. The cause of the condition is nw 2002 2003 well understood and has been corrected. The overspeed latch mechanism failure was due to a worn latch. The condbon has been corrected and inspection procedures have been improved. To further improve this trend, all corrective and preventative maintenance workwill be optimized with respect to online and outage windows to ensuri system unavailability is minimized.

This metric monitors the amount of time the Salem Unit 1 ChemicalVolume Control and Safety InjectionSystems are out of service compared against industry top quartile.

In 2004. availabilitywas adversely impactedby 1)the failure of a charging pump discharge checkvalve and 2) i charging pump speed increaser which was replaced due to vibrations trending up. Performance problemswith m2 2 m the nonECCS 13 charging pump caused additional reliance on the 11 and 12 pumps, which resulted in increased maintenance activities to maintain coolers in a clean condition. Actions are in progressto restore the 13 charging pump to service.
