Dear Mr. Miltenberger:
SUBJECT:
SALEM AND HOPE CREEK RESIDENT SAFETY INSPECTION
50-272/92-04; 50-311/92-04; 50-354/92-04 (3/22/92 - 5/2/92)
This letter transmits the findings of an inspection conducted by Mr. Thomas P. Johnson-Senior
Resident Inspector, Mr. James C. Stone, Licensing Project Manager, and other members of the
NRC resident staff at the Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations for the period between
March 22 and May 2, 1992. The findings of this inspection were previously discussed with
Messrs. C. Vondra and R. Hovey of your staff.
Within the scope of this inspection, our inspectors verified that the Salem and Hope Creek
facilities were operated in a safe manner. The inspectors reviewed Salem Unit 2 restart activities
and concluded that your staff was appropriately prepared for reactor and unit startup.
Our staff also reviewed your discovery of a nonconservatism affecting certain previous analyses
used for the Salem licensing basis relative to assessment of the impact of a steam line break event
as reported in Licensee Event Report (LER) No.91-036, dated January 9, 1992. According to
your re-analysis, using Salem plant-specific data, a postulated steam line break event could have
resulted in exceeding containment design pressure when a current plant-specific model of
auxiliary feedwater flow is used in lieu of the original Salem steam line break analyses,
previously performe<;l by Westinghouse and approved by the NRC. This issue was previously
identified as an Unresolved Item in NRC Inspection Reports 50-272/311-91-28 and 50-272/311-
92-01. The current details of this item are discussed in Section 10.6.A of this report .
