SUBJECT: INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-272/92-16, 50-311/92-16, AND 50-354/92-17
This letter transmits the report of an announced inspection conducted by Mr. Leonard Cheung
and other NRC personnel from October 26 - 30, 1992, at the Salem Units 1 and 2 and Hope
Creek Generating Station in Hancocks Bridge, New Jersey .. Mr. Cheung discussed the
findings of the inspection with Mr. F. Thomson and other members of your staff during the
exit meeting at the generating stations on October 30, 1992.
This inspection was directed toward areas important to public health and safety. Areas
examined during this inspection are described in the NRC Region I inspection report which is
enclosed with this letter. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective
examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and
observations by the inspectors.
Based upon the results of this inspection, it appears that one of your activities was in
- violation of NRC requirements, as set forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as
11 Appendix A. The violation has been categorized by severity level in accordance with the
. { t2f:~~General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2,

- It appears that the above violation is attributable to lack of communication between your
corporate engineering (E&PB) and the Salem site engineering. The corporate engineering
nonconformance report, which identified the deficiency, was closed without assuring either:
1) that the safety impact of the deficiency was properly addressed and the deficiency
corrected, or 2) that the nonconformance was recognized by site engineering to followup the
issue. You should review your current procedures to determine if provisions should be
included to prevent repetition of the above problem.
