Gentlemen:

Subject: Combined Inspection 50-272/81-01 and 50-311/81-01

This refers to the routine inspection conducted by Mr. L. J. Norrholm of this

office on January 1, 1981 - January 31, 1981 at Salem Nuclear Generating

  • Station, Units 1 and 2 of activities authorized by NRC License Nos. DPR-70

and DPR-75 and to the discussions of our findings held by Mr. L. Norrholm

with Mr. H. Midura of your staff periodically during the inspec~ion.

Areas examined during this inspection are described in the Office of Inspec-

tion 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 obser-

vations by the inspector *

. 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 described in

the Federal Register Notice (45 FR 66754) dated October 7, 1980.

You are

required to respond to this letter and in preparing your response, you should

follow the instructions in Appendix A.

Item B in the Notice of Violation enclosed with this letter was identified

during a previous inspection of your licensed activities on August 1-31, 1980

and was documented in the enclosure to our letter dated September 17, 1980.

Your letter to this office dated October 10, 1980 stated that operators had

been informed of the need to enter Action Statements in the log and that

design changes for level alarms were being initiated. From our January 1-31,

1981 inspection it appears that the stated corrective actions were .not

effective since this item has recurred.
