APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Public Service Electric and Gas Company Salem Nuclear Generating Station Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos.

50-272 50-311 License Nos. DPR-70 DPR-75 As a result of the inspection conducted on May 1, 1989 - June 5, 1989, and in accordance with 11General Statement of Policy and Procedure fo~ NRC Enforcement Actions 11

, 10 CFR 2, Appendix C (Enforcement Policy 1989), the following violation was identified:

A.

10 CFR Part 50.59 permits the licensee to make changes in the facility without prior NRC approval provided that the change does not involve an unreviewed safety question (USQ).

A written safety evaluation which provides the bases for the determination that a USQ is not involved must be completed and maintained.

Contrary to the above, as of May 10, 1989, a reactivity computer had been added to both units* control rooms in close proximity to seismically qualified safety related equipment, and no safety evaluation existed documenting why no USQ was involved.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Public Service Electric and Gas Company is hereby required to submit to this office within 30 days of the date of the letter which transmitted this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including:

(1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.

Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending this response time.
