SUBJECT: COMBINED INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-272/96-13 AND 50-311/96-13
Dear Mr. Eliason:
On September 20, 1996, the NRC completed a safety inspection of your Salem 1 and 2
nuclear facility. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
During the 6-week period covered by this inspection, your conduct of activities at the
Sale[l'.l facilities was generally characterized by sound engineering practices. However,
insufficient attention to detail resulted in a violation of NRC requirements pertaining to
failure to comply with procedural requirements. A second violation, pertaining to failure to
perform a required 1992 surveillance, was also found.
We are concerned about the current engineering inconsistencies because they continue to
exist despite the scrutiny the engineering documents undergo during in-house technical and
management reviews.
The violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation, and the circumstances
surrounding the violations are described in detail in the enclosed report. Please note that
you are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the
enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
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 .
