NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
WASHINGTON, 0. C. 20555
November 13, 1986
Docket Nos. 50-272 and 50-311
Public Service Electric and Gas Company
Attn: Mr. C. McNeill
Vice President - Nuclear
P.O. Box 236
Hancocks Bridge, New Jersey 08038
Gentlemen:
SUBJECT: INSPECTION NOS. 50-272/86-23; 50-311/86-23
Enclosed is the report of the team inspection conducted by Mr. G. T. Hubbard and
other NRC representatives- on August 11-15, 1986, at the Salem Nuclear Generating
Station of activities authorized by NRC Licenses DPR-70 and DPR-75.
The team's
findings were discussed with you and members of your staff at the conclusion of
the inspection. The inspection reviewed your implementation of a program for
establishing and maintaining the qualification of electric equipment within the
scope of 10 CFR 50.49. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of examina-
tion of selected procedures and records, interviews with personnel, and observations
by the inspectors .
. The inspection determined that you have implemented a program to meet the require-
ments of 10 CFR Part 50.49 except for certain deficiencies identified in the
enclosed inspection report. Seven of the deficiencies, summarized in Appendix A.
are classfied as Potential Enforcement/Unresolved Items (PE/Uis) and will be
referred to the NRC Region I Office for futher action.
One deficiency involved
failure to establish qualification of Rockbestos coaxial and EPR" cables, one
involved failure to establish qualification of cable splices used in Limitorque
valve operators, and another involved failure to install gear case grease relief
valves in inside containment Limitorque valve operators.
Two deficiencies
involved the qualified life of components in Exo Sensors hydrogen analyzers and
demonstration that ASCO solenoid valves met post-accident operating requirements.
The last two deficiencies involved equipment qualification training for engi-
neering personnel and seismic qualification of a Rosemount flow transmitter.
Additional data concerning some of the PE/Uis has been provided to the NRC and
is being evaluated .

Your corrective actions regarding the deficiencies and concerns identified in
the enclosed inspection report should not be delayed pending either a future NRC
inspection or further action by the NRC Region office.
Your letter to Mr. J.M. Taylor, Director, IE, dated November 7, 1986, concern-
ing the PE/Uis identified during the inspection exit meeting has been received.
Information provided in the letter and its attachments will be reviewed by the
NRC and considered in determining the final disposition of the identified
deficiencies.
NRC action pertaining to the LERs discussed in paragraph 3. of the inspection
report was not a part of this inspection and will be handled at a later time.
We are available to discuss any questions you have concerning this inspection.

APPENDIX A
Potential Enforcement/Unresolved Items
As a result of the equipment qualification (EQ) inspection on August 11-15,
1986, the following items have been referred to NRC Region I as Potential
Enforcement/Unresolved Items (paragraph references are to detailed portions
of the inspection report).
1.
Contrary to paragraphs (f) and (k) of 10 CFR 50.49 and Section 5.1 of
NUREG-0588, Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) did not
adequately demonstrate qualification of Rockbestos coaxial and EPR
cables because qualification of these cables was based on qualification
test reports subject to the concerns discussed in IE Information Notice 84-44 and PSE&G had not taken corrective action in accordance with the
notice. Corrective action was completed during the inspection.
(Paragraph 4.0.(2), Item 50-272/86-23-03; 50-311/86-23-03)
2.
Contrary to paragraphs (d),(f) and (k) of 10 CFR 50.49 and NUREG-0588, at
the time of the inspection, PSE&G had not established qualification of
Scotch 70/construction electric wiring splices used in outside containment
Limitorque motor valve operators. Additionally, PSE&G had not included
these splices on their list of equjpment within the scope of 10 CFR 50.49.
(Paragraph 4.E.(1), Item 50-272/86-23-09; 50-311/86-23-09)
3.
Contrary to paragraphs (f) and (k) of 10 CFR 50.49 and NUREG-0588, PSE&G
had not established qualification of inside containment Limitorque operators
because PSE&G had not demonstrated that the use of operators without gear
case grease relief valves was acceptable. Justification for use of the
operators without the relief valves was provided during the inspection.
(Paragraph 4.0.(3), Item 50-272/86-23-04; 50-311/86-23-04)
4.
Contrary to paragraphs (f) and (k) of 10 CFR 50.49 and Sections 4(9) and
4(10) of NUREG-0588, at the time of the inspection, the qualification files
did not provide adequate basis for the qualified life for the pressure
transmitters and the RTDs used in the Exo Sensors hydrogen analyzers.
(Paragraph 4.D.(4), Item 50-272/86-23-05; 50-311/86-23-05)
5.
Contrary to paragraphs (f) and (k) of 10 CFR 50.49 and Sections 2.1 of
NUREG-0588, at the time of the inspection, the qualification files for
ASCO solenoid valves failed to demonstrate that the valves could meet
the specified post-accident operability requirements. (Paragraph 4.0.(5),
Item 50-272/86-23-06; 50-311/86-23-06)
6.
Contrary to Criterion II of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, at the time of
the inspection, PSE&G failed to have documentation of EQ training for
System Analysis Group personnel.
(Paragraph 4.A, Item 50-272/86-23-01;
50-311/86-23-01)
"
7.
- 2 -
Contrary to Criterion III of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, at the time
of the inspection, Rosemount flow transmitter 2FT-128 was not seismically
qualified because the installation differed from the tested configuration
and engineering justification for the differences was not documented.
(Paragraph 4.E.(2), Item 50-311/86-23-10)
