This refers to the inspection conducted by Dr. M. Shanbaky of this
office: on January 8:...r2. and 15-17, 1979, at the Salem Nuclear Generating
Station, Hancocks Bridge, New Jersey, of activities authorized by NRC
License No. DPR-70 and to the discussions of our findings held by Dr. M.
Shanbaky with Messrs. R. Silverio, J. Stillman and other members of your
staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the Office of
Inspection and Enforcement Inspection Report which is enclosed with this
letter. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective
examinations of procedures and representative. records, interviews with
personnel, and observations by the inspector.
Our inspector also verified the steps you have taken to correct the
items of noncompliance brought to your attention in a letter dated March
23~ 1978.
We have no further questions regarding the steps you took to
correct Items B, F, and K.
With regard to Items A, C, D, E, H, and J,
we note that corrective actions to prevent recurrence were not fully
implemented.
Items G, *I, L, and M were closed in Inspection Report No.
272/78-14 and so documented in our letter to you dated June 16, 1978.
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of your
activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements,
as set forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix
A.
These items of noncompliance have been categorized into the levels
as described in our correspondence to you dated December 31, 1974.
This
notice is sent to you pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.201 of the
NRC' s
11 Rules of Practice,
11 Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations.

Company
Section 2.201 requires .you to submit to this office, within twenty (20)
days of your receipt of this notice, a written statement or explanation
in reply including:
(.1) corrective steps which have been taken by you
and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to
avoid further items of noncompliance; and (3) the date when full compli-
ance will be achieved.
Items number A, B, C, D, E, and G, shown in the Notice of Violation
enclosed with this letter, are recurrent or uncorrected items.
In your
response please give these matters your particular attention.
In addition
to the need for corrective action regarding these specific items of
noncompliance,. we are concerned about the implementation of your management
control system that permitted them to oc*cur.
This. is of particular
concern because most of these items are the same as or .similiar to,
items discussed in detail during a management meeting held after the
last inspection in this area. * During that meeting *and in your written
reply to our letter dated April 24, 1978, we were given assurances that
adequate* actions would be taken to correct the items. Although the
inspector* found some improvement, in general, your previously specified
corrective actions and management controls were found. to be .. inadequate
or not fully implemented. *Consequently, in your reply, you should
describe in particular~ .those additiO~al actions taken or planned to
improve the effectiveness of your management control systems as applied
to this area.
Your response to this noti.ce, as well as the findings of
our inspections, will be considered in determining whether additional
enforcement ac.ti on may be necessary.

2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations*, a copy of this letter and the
enclosures will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
