Subject: Initial Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP)
Report Nos. 50-272/90-99, 50-311/90-99, and 50-354/90-99
On February 26 and 27, 1992, an NRC SALP Board conducted a review to evaluate the
performance of activities associated with the Salem Generating Station, Unit 1 and 2, and
Hope Creek Generating Station, respectively. The results of these assessments are
documented in the enclosed Initial SALP reports for the period between August 1, 1990 and
December 28, 1991. As previously agreed, we will hold a meeting with you and your staff
at 10:00 a.m., April 15, 1992, at the Salem Site Processing Facility, Hancocks Bridge, New
Jersey, to discuss the findings of these Initial SALP reports. You should be prepared to
discuss these assessments and any plans to improve performance. In accordance with NRC
policy, this meeting will be open for public observation.
During this assessment period we noted efforts to improve or maintain acceptable
performance in all functional areas. Relative to the Salem Generating Station we concluded
that your performance in this period was consistent with our previous evaluation, though
some improvement was noted in Radiological Controls. Also, the previously declining trend
in Maintenance/Surveillance performance was arrested. Relative to the Hope Creek
Generating Station we also concluded that your performance was generally consistent with
our last evaluation. However, we observed a decline in Engineering/Technical Support
primarily as a result of insufficient management attention directed toward programs to verify
and validate the adequacy of certain Motor Operated Valves. While some deficiencies were
identified, the SALP Board concluded that the Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations
are safely and conservatively operated, and are being maintained in accordance with
regulatory requirements.

you provide written comments, including any correction of factual information, within 20
days of the date of the meeting. The enclosed reports and your responses will be placed in
the NRC Public Document Room.
