Dear Mr.* Grier:

NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO.* 50-272/79-19 MAY 24-25 and May 30-31, .1979 UNIT NO. 1 .

SALEM GENERATING STATION We have reviewed the report of your inspection conducted on May 24-25 and May 30-31, 1979, .which was transmitted with your letter of August 8, 1979, .and received on August 10, .1979. The item of non-

. compliance in Appendix A of your. report is as follows:

Item 4.b - Deficiency 10CFR 55, Appendix A, states, .in part: "Records of the requalifica-tion program sh~ll be maintained *.* to* document the participation of each *licensed operator .and senior operator in the requalif ication program."

Salem Generating Station Training Procedure 10, NRC Licensed Oper-ator Re*quaLi..fication Program, states, in part: "A training folder will be *maintained by the training staff for each licensed operator for the life of* his license. The folder will contain *** Qualifica-tion Card for Overall Plant Operating and Emergency Instructions *.* "

Contrary to the above, *although the Requalification Log shows ap-pr*opriate *o.perating and emergency instruction training and simula-tion was conducted in 1978,* none *of the selected ind.l.vidual opera-tors' training folders reviewed contained the aforementioned *Quali-fication Cards for the year 1978, as required by TP-10 to implement the provisions of 10CFR 55, .Appendix A, Paragraph 5.

• Mr. B.H. Grier 8-27-79 Our response is as follows:

1. The cause of the Deficiency was failure of the training staff to verify.that the folders were maintained in accordance with the procedure.

2. To correct the situation, training folders have been updated to reflect actual training status *.

3. To prevent future items of noncompliance, the training staff will more closely supervise record keeping. Training Pro-cedure 10 shall be revised to clarify the requirements. Sta-tion QA Engineer shall follow up on this activity by surveil-lance or audit.

4. We are in compliance now. The revision to procedure TP-10 shall be completed by October 1, 1979.

If you-require additional information, we will be pleased to discuss it with you.

Sincerely, CC: Director, Office of Inspection

& Enforcement USNRC Washington, D.C. 20555
