SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-272/99-05, 50-311/99-05

Dear Mr. Keiser:

On July 11, 1999, the NRC completed an inspection of your Salem 1 & 2 reactor facilities. The

enclosed report presents the results of that inspection. The preliminary findings were presented

to PSEG Nuclear management led by Messrs. Mark Bezilla and Dave Garchow in an exit

meeting on July 16, 1999.

This inspection was an examination of activities conducted under your license as they related to

reactor safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations, and with the

conditions of your license. Within these areas the inspection consisted of a selected

examination of procedures and representative records, observations of activities, and interviews

with personnel. Specifically, this inspection involved six weeks of resident inspection.

Also, the inspectors reviewed the performance indicators (Pis) you submitted as part of the pilot

program for the new regulatory oversight process and verified the data which supported three of

these Pis. We noted that in the May 1999 and June 1999 submittals Salem Pis were reported

as green, with the exception of one white Pl at each unit for Protected Area Security Equipment

Performance Index. We recognize that this Pl resulted primarily from planned security

compensatory measures during the installation of system upgrades in the fourth quarter of 1998,

and we do not plan any additional inspections or reviews in response to this white Pl.

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 (PDR).

Sincerely,

Original Signed By:

Glenn W. Meyer, Chief,

Projects Branch 3
