SUBJECT:
MAINTENANCE RULE BASELINE INSPECTION FOR HOPE CREEK
Dear Mr. Eliason:
In a telephone conversation on January 8, 1996, between Mr. D. Powell and Mr. J. Williams, arrangements were made for the NRC to conduct a baseline inspection of your maintenance rule program at Hope Creek. The inspection is planned for the week of February 24, 1997.
The inspection objective is to evaluate your performance to support compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.65, "Requirements for monitoring the effectiveness of maintenance at nuclear power plants." The inspection will be conducted using Inspection Procedure 62706, "Maintenance Rule" and will involve a team of at least 4 inspectors.
The team will require information about your program for their in-office preparation for the inspection. This information is identified in the enclosure to this letter. Please provide this information to Mr. Williams by the week of February 3, 1997. Mr. Powell has been advised of this request.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions regarding this inspection, please contact me at (610) 337-5211 or E-mail address GWM@NRC.GOV.
