SUBJECT:

SALEM RESIDENT INSPECTION NOS. 50-272/95-13;

50-311/95-13

Dear Mr. Eliason:

1JtD

The enclosed report documents an inspection for public health and safety,

conducted by Mr. C. Marschall, Senior Resident Inspector and other members of

the NRC resident and regional staff at the Salem Nuclear Generating Station

for the period between June 23, 1995 and August 12, 1995.

The inspectors

discussed the findings of this inspection with Messrs. C. Warren, General

Manager-Salem operations, and other members of your staff.

Within the scope of this inspection, the inspectors did not identify any

significant safety concerns or violations.

We are encouraged by the recent

performance of your Quality Assurance audit teams and the preliminary results

of the System Restart Readiness Reviews relative to the scope and quality of

your processes to effect improved system reliability and program performance.

Notwithstanding, our assessment of your overall performance will be based on

actual results achieved.

In this inspection period, while restart readiness

processes and quality assurance implementation appears to be well executed,

control of maintenance activities continues to be ineffective. Sustained and

consistent performance in all functional areas of nuclear safety, and

demonstrated lasting corrective measures, are essential in achieving

acceptable long term performance for the Salem units.

No reply to this letter is required.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the

NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be

placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

Your cooperation with us is appreciated.
