The alleger received third party information that: the A Hope Creek EDG had a problem with metal filings or grit In its jacket water system. This was causing jacket water leaks. PSEG did not adequately flush the system to remove grit.

Also, a shaft needed replacement but wasn't because of cost.

The alleger expressed the above concerns:

- [After some debris In the in the soft side seal face of the C EDG jacket water pump were Identified after a notification was written about jacket water pump leaks] who concluded that the soft material In the seal face could not cause the leak?

- What was the basis for deferring the B EDG flush [for removing grit from lube oilljacket water] until April 2006?

- What was the history of the shaft replacement for all four EDGs?

- What was the history of pump seal replacements for all four EDGs?

Alleger contacted prior to referral to licensee? Yes lX l No l lN/Al_
