Re: Issuance of proposed director's decision associated with your 10 CFR 2.206 petition regarding impellers Mrs Rankin, New Material January 30, 2015:

SUBJECT:

SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 -NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 05000272/2014005 AND 05000311/2014005 Contrary to this, from 2011 to 2014, PSEG did not promptly identify that a vendor evaluation was inadequate and thereby, did not initiate actions to correct the adverse condition of the RCP TVB heads failing due to IGSCC, enabling the turning vanes to drop on three of the four RCPs, with contact being made between turning vanes and impellers on two RCPs.

So here we are with the Salem RCP adverse to quality and USFAR Violation like I questioned in My Palisades Director Decision. It questions if RCP or PCP vendors are maintaining accurate safety reports. One wonders if the vendor plays stupid in order to give the licensee justification to get to the next outage or out of current outage unharmed by doing the proper maintenancedont perform comprehensive and preventative maintenance on these pumps to bolster executive bonuses.

The inspectors determined that because the potential existed to have multiple pumps with degraded coast down capabilities, the condition was not bounded by the UFSAR Chapter 15 accident analyses.

But you cant turn bad behavior of these utilities if cant prick up the vendor inaccurate determination of possible for machining to occur between the rotating and stationary parts before the hordes of broken bolts are discovered in the coolant pipe. Finding two heads in the coolant piping in 2011 should have keyed the agency into verifying all vender reports associated with the pump diffusors. At that point in the inaccurate machining justification, the agency should ordered Salem to shut down or preform in the current outage a comprehensive repair and maintenance period of the pumps. It is only in inflecting painful punishment, will all of the player follow the rules conservatively.

I suspect Palisades PCP impeller blade cracking and broken blades in the coolant vendor report inaccuracy in Palisades are just like Salem. I request an independent referred them to a regional materials inspector review of all safety reports associated with the PCP broken off blades and debris in the core.

Sincerely, 1
