REVISED RESPONSE TO NRC NOTICE OF VIOLATION INSPECTION REPORT 50-272/96-01, 50-311/96-01 SALEM GENERATING STATION UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-272 AND 50-311 Inspection Report Nos. 50-272/96-01 and 50-311/96-01 for Salem Nuclear Generating Station Unit Nos. 1 and 2 were transmitted to Public Service Electric & Gas Company (PSE&G) on March 25, 1996 *
. Within the scope of this report, three violations of NRC requirements were cited.
PSE&G submitted its response on April 25, 1996.
By letter dated June 18, 1996, the. NRC requested PSE&G to reconsider its response to violations A and c.
Specifically, the NRC requested that PSE&G reaffirm the response by including the basis for asserting that the weaknesses were not generic, o*r to amend the response to address the following broader generic issues:
- 1.
Procedure use and adequacy.
(violation A)
- 2.
Corrective actions previously taken were inadequate.
(violation C)
PSE&G RESPONSE As stated in your June 18, 1996 letter, PSE&G addressed the individual examples, and provided comprehensive corrective actions to address each individual example.
Although, the generic implications identified above were not specifically ac;ldresi:;ed_ by_ P.SE&G. in -its-- actions to prevent *recurrence, PSE&G is aware of their importance and implications.
Accordingly, PSE&G would like to provide the following additional information, which supplements our origina~ response of April 25, 1996.

Recycled Paper l
Document Control Desk LR-N96194 JUL 171996 PSE&G had recognized the broader issues of procedure compliance and corrective action adequacy as long standing weaknesses, and they were included in the PSE&G Salem Restart Action Plan (SRAP).
The SRAP describes and controls the.activities needed to fundamentally change the performance of the Salem Generating Station and to support the controlled restart and sustained reliable operation of the Salem Units.
Nine performance based action plans are in place to address the Salem performance
- issues.
These restart action plans are; Operations, Maintenance, Human Performance, Engineering, Corrective Actions, Self Assessment, Work Control, System Engineering & Equipment Reliability, and Training.
The SRAP has been docketed with the NRC via letters dated November 24, 1995, and March 26, 1996, respectively.
PSE&G believes that these plans, individually and collectively, address generic issues in procedure use, adequacy, and corrective action deficiencies to support startup.
For example:
- 1.
Procedure use and adequacy.
The issue of procedure adequacy is being addressed by individual line items in the appropriate restart action plans (i.e; Operations, Maintenance, etc).
Procedure usage is being addressed in the personal roles and responsibilities and in portions of the Human Performance restart action plan.
- 2.
Corrective actions previously taken were inadequate.
The corrective action program restart action plan addresses the broader implications associated with the inadequacies of poor root cause evaluations, and corrective action implementation.
Additionally, affirmation that these issues have been addressed, including the implementation of appropriate corrective actions needed to ensure the safe, sustained reliable operation of the Salem Units, will be reviewed and approved by the PSE&G Management Review Committee (MRC) prior to restart.
These items are also identified as Programmatic Issues (PI) 3, 10, and 14 in the NRC restart action plan, and will also be addressed prior to restart.
