Public Service Electric and Gas Company Steven E. Miltenberger Public Service Electric and Gas Company P.O. Box 236, Hancocks Bridge, NJ 08038 609-339-4199 Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer DEC 0 2 1993 NLR-N93180 United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Document Control Desk Washington, D.C.
20555 Gentlemen:
SERVICE WATER SYSTEM OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE SELF-ASSESSMENT SALEM GENERATING STATION UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-272 AND 50-311 The purpose of this letter is to inform the NRC Staff of Public Service Electric and Gas Company's (PSE&G) intent to conduct a self-assessment of Service Water System operational performance at Salem Units 1 and 2.
PSE&G requests NRC Staff acceptance of this self-assessment as an alternative to the Staff conducting a team inspection of this area.
Our self-assessment will meet the requirements specified in NRC Temporary Instruction 2515/118, Revision 1 "Service Water Operational Performance Inspection" and NRC Inspection Procedure 40501, "Licensee Self-Assessments Related To Area-of-Emphasis Inspections."
PSE&G's Nuclear Safety Review organization will supervise the self-assessment activity.
The team will consist of PSE&G and contract individuals possessing appropriate technical and plant expertise and experience.
The self-assessment is scheduled to begin April 1994 and continue for approximately six weeks.
PSE&G expects the NRC In-Process Inspection (50% completion point) to occur the last week of April or the first week of May 1994.
The Final Assessment Report is scheduled for the end of July 1994.
PSE&G requests NRC Staff review of our self-assessment results and corrective action in the fourth quarter of 1994.
The Salem self-assessment findings will be evaluated areas requiring shared corrective action on the Hope Service Water System, as part of our lessons learned optimization.

ATTACHMENT SALEM SERVICE WATER SYSTEM SELF-ASSESSMENT 1.0 PURPOSE Verify that the Salem Generating Station (SGS) Service Water Systems (SWS) are capable of fulfilling their thermal and hydraulic performance requirements, and are operated consistent with their design bases..
Assess the Service Water Systems' operational controls, maintenance, surveillance and testing, and personnel training to ensure the systems are properly operated and maintained.
2.0 SCOPE The Salem SWS Self-assessment will begin in April 1994, and include a complete self-assessment of Service Water System operational performance.
3.0 SELF-ASSESSMENT TEAM PSE&G Project Team Leader -
The Salem Onsite Safety Review Engineer will function as the Project Team Leader.
He will coordinate the actions of the Contracted Inspection Team members, the Engineering Lead Interface, the SGS Lead Interface and the assigned Licensing Engineer.
The Project Team Leader is responsible for tracking corre9tive actions for weaknesses identified during the self-assessment.
PSE&G Engineering Lead Interface -
The Nuclear Mechanical Engineering Manager will function as Engineering Lead Interface.
He will coordinate all activities within the Engineering Department and conduct a management review of responses to identified concerns.
PSE&G SGS Lead Interface -
The Technical Engineer -
Balance of Plant (BOP) will function as Salem Station Lead Interface.
He will coordinate all activities within the station and provide a management review of responses to identified concerns.
PSE&G Licensing Engineer -
The assigned Licensing Engineer will coordinate all activities requiring Licensing action or input.
He will identify findings from other utility SWSOPis and previous SGS SWS inspections.
During the conduct of the self-assessment, he will track all questions, identified issues and associated response actions.
1
Contracted Inspection team -
The Contracted Inspection Team will consist of a team leader and an appropriate number of inspectors.
Team members will possess technical and plant experience commensurate with the inspection area.
The overall team expertise will include: Design Engineering, Operations, Maintenance, Surveillance/Testing, and Quality Assurance/Corrective Action.
The Team Leader will possess experience in performing Safety System Operational Performance Inspections.
He will coordinate the Contracted Inspection Team activities and act as Lead Interface to the PSE&G Team members.
4.0 OBJECTIVES Assess Service Water System operational readiness by determining whether:
The system is capable of performing the safety functions required by its design basis.
Testing is adequate to demonstrate that the system would perform all required safety functions if called upon.
System maintenance is adequate to ensure operability under postulated accident conditions.
Personnel training is adequate to ensure proper system operation and maintenance.
Human factors (access, labeling etc.) and supporting procedures are adequate to ensure proper system operation under normal and accident conditions.
Adequate in-house knowledge of safety system design and operation exists.
Key equipment capacitles and key system setpoints specified in the Configuration Baseline Documentation (CBD) are valid.
5.0 IMPLEMENTATION 5.1 The self-assessment team will critically review previously identified system problems.
This review includes: accuracy of problem definition, problem scope and recovery plan, and timeliness of corrective actions.
2
5.2 Gather and review plant specific data, such as:
Design Basis CBD Design Change Packages (DCP)
Piping and Instrument Diagrams (P&IDs)
Logic Diagrams Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR)
Training Lesson Plans Maintenance Work Orders Maintenance Procedures Operations Procedures Equipment Set Points Equipment/System Surveillances ISI Test Records Performance Trending Incident Reports Licensee Event Reports (LERs)
Deficiency Evaluation Forms (DEFs)
Action Tracking System (ATS) Data 5.3 Gather and review Industry-specific data, such as:
NRC Generic Letters NRC Info Notices NRC Bulletins INPO SOERs/SERs 5.4 Key Review Areas by Discipline Operations Operator training Abnormal and Emergency Operating Procedures Surveillance testing vs Technical Specification requirements Licensing commitments Operatqr performance Maintenance Corrective and Preventive Maintenance Procedures Maintenance Records Problem Tracking and Corrective Action Equipment/Instrumentation Calibration and Setpoints,
Material Control Maintenance personnel performance Surveillance activitie~
Overall Mai:ntenance Program implementation 3
Design Verification of design requirements Post-modification Testing Equipment Qualification Configuration Control Procurement class of components Other Consideration will be given to plant walkdowns, industry operating experiences, and past inspection findings.
5.5 Concern/Issue Identification Observations should be clearly written and filed, to support pote.:ntial. findings.
Potential findings should be supported by clear evidence and spec"ific examples.
Findings that potentially involve a non~compliance or safety issue should be addressed through established procedures.
5.6 Personnel Interface Personnel interviews and walkdowns are essential to all review areas.
Actual job observations should be performed (e.g.,
training classes, maintenance work, control room/equipment operator logs, surveillance test performance).
5.7 Schedule Salem self-assessment to begin in April 1994 and continue for approximately six weeks.
The NRC In-Process Inspection (50% completion point) is anticipated for the last week of April or first week of May 1994.
Draft Assessment Report available for in-house review by third week of June 1994.
Final Assessment Report issuance expected by end of July 1994.
