SUBJECT:

Dear Mr. Eliason:
In a telephone conversation on March 26, 1997, with Mr. Ali Fakhar of your staff, I made arrangements for the NRC to conduct inspections of your maintenance rule program at Salem. A preliminary inspection is planned for the week of May 5, 1997 and the' full baseline. inspection is planned for the week of August 25, 1997.
The inspection objective is to evaluate your program to comply 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." The preliminary inspection will involve two inspectors and will follow up on maintenance rule programmatic issues previously found at Hope.Creek. Depending on your schedule, this inspection may be included as part of the Restart Assessment Teani Inspection (RATI). The bciseline inspection will involve a team of at least 4 inspectors and will address the full scope of the program.
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. Stephen Barr by the week of April 21, 1997. Any additional information needed for the baseline inspection will be addressed later.
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.
