SUBJECT:

NRC COMBINED INSPECTION

REPORT

NOS. 50-387/95-17;

50-388/95-17

Dear Nr. Byram:

The enclosed

report documents

a resident

inspection

conducted

by Ns.

N.

Banerjee,

Nr. B. J.

NcDermott,

and others

from July 5,

1995 through

August 5,

1995, at the Susquehanna

Steam Electric Station

(SSES),

Salem

Township,

Pennsylvania.

Areas relevant to the health

and safety of the public

examined during the inspection

are described

in the enclosed report.

At the

c'onclusion of the inspection,

the inspectors

summarized their preliminary

findings with Nr. H.

G. Stanley

and other members of your staff.

Throughout the inspection period, the plant was operated

in a safe manner.

Good emphasis

was provided

on timely correction of the Emergency

Plan tele-

notification system deficiencies identified during

a call-out drill.

You

stated that you plan to perform

a tele-notification system call-out with

physical

manning of the response facilities in the near futur e to further

demonstrate

your ability to respond during off-hour emergency situations.

Based

on the results of the inspection,

one of your activities appeared

to be

in violation of NRC requirements.

Specifically, it involved

a management

decision not to enter

a plant technical specification required action while

performing emergency diesel

generator

surveillance testing during the last

Unit

1 refueling outage.

The violation was identified by you, is of small

safety significance,

and

was reported to the

NRC as required.

However, the

violation is of concern to us because

the decision

was

made

by a higher level

management

personnel,

and you had previously identified,

as reflected in a

previous

Licensee

Event Report, the need to enter the particular technical

specification required action during the subject testing.

You are required to respond to this letter

and should follow the instructions

specified in the enclosed

Notice when preparing your response.

In your

response,

you should

document the specific actions taken

and any additional

actions

you plan to prevent recurrence.

After reviewing your response

to this

Notice, including your proposed corrective actions

and the results of future

inspections,

the

NRC will determine whether future

NRC enforcement

action is

necessary

to ensure

compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.

In accordance

with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"

a copy of

this letter

and its enclosures will be placed in the

NRC Public Document

Room.
