Dear Mr. Eliason:

December 9, 1994

SUBJECT:

HOPE CREEK (94-24} AND SALEM (94-26) MOTOR-OPERATED VALVE

INSPECTION

This letter refers to the safety inspection conducted by Mr. L. Prividy and

others from October 17 to November 1, 1994, at the Hope Creek and Salem

Generating Stations. The inspection was focused on issues important to public

health and safety, specifically,- the PSE&G program being implemented in

response to NRC Generic Letter 89-10, "Safety-Related Motor-Operated Valve

(MOV} Testing and Surveillance." The preliminary results of this inspection

were discussed with Mr. J. Ranalli, Nuclear Mechanical Engineering Manager,

and other members of your staff on October 28, 1994. Additional discussion by

telephone occurred between the lead inspector and Mr. Ranalli on

November 1, 1994.

We concluded that satisfactory progress was being made toward completion of

the Hope Creek and Salem MOV program activities in accordance with your

commitments to GL 89-10. All dynamic testing has been completed at Hope

Creek; however, several issues remain open that preclude program closure.

Outstanding items include: (1) completion of your review, demonstrating design

basis capability, for all GL 89-10 MOVs at their current switch settings; and

(2) establishment of an acceptable long-term periodic verification program.

These issues are discussed in more detail in the enclosed report. After you

have completed your actions in response to these items, we request that you

contact us to discuss the most effective manner for accomplishing closure of

the Hope Creek GL 89-10 program .. Similarly, you are requested to contact us

after completing the Unit 2 refueling outage regarding closure of the Salem GL 89-10 programs .
