Gentlemen:
Subject:
Response to Notice of Violation NRC Combined Inspection
Report Nos. 50-272/86-23 and 50-311/86-23, Salem Generating
Station Unit Nos. 1 and 2
yes
This letter is in response to your letter (NLR-N89093) dated May 22, 1989.
We reviewed your response to Violation No. 2, Item 4 in which you disagree
with the portion of the violation dealing with the gear case grease relief
valve and determined the following.
At the time of the 86-23 inspection (August 11-15, 1986) for Units 1 and 2, the
NRC determined that the Limitorque Operator qualification file EQ-51 did not
contain the necessary information to establish environmental qualification of
Limitorque Operators without gear case relief valves.
Prior to the end of the
inspection additional technical evaluation was performed by your staff, this
information was provided to the NRC to support qualification of operators
without the gear case relief valves.
We have re-examined the information that
was originally available in the Limitorque Operator qualification file.
Again,
we determined that the original engineering evaluation at the time of the
inspection was inadequate to support qualification of the Limitorque Operators.
We acknowledge the
11 technical merits
11 of the PSE&G position on grease relief
valves presented prior to the end of the inspection, however, as stated in the
NRC letter of March 11, 1987,
11 PSE&G should have documented their arguments in
the Limitorque EQ file prior to the time of the inspection. 11
The violation
pertaining to the gear case grease relief valve stands as originally written.
In response to your statement in your May 22, 1989 letter that this concern be
closed, we have closed this item in Inspection Report 50-272/89-13 and
50-272/89-12, as all technical issues were adequately resolved.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
