SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-272/99-07, 50-311/99-07
Dear Mr. Keiser:
On August 29, 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 of this
inspection were presented to PSEG Nuclear management led by Mr. Dave Garchow in an exit
meeting on September 8, 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. The attached report documents the results of seven weeks of
resident inspection and two one-week region-based inspections, one focused on licensed
operator requalification training and the other on radiologically controlled area access, ALARA
planning, and radiation monitoring instrumentation. Within these areas the inspectors .
conducted a selected examination of procedures and representative records, observed work
activities, and interviewed various personnel. Negative findings were assessed using the
significance determination process; all findings either screened out of the process or were
determined to be within the licensee response band (Green).
We have also determined that six violations of NRC requirements occurred in the areas of the
action statement for containment isolation, flow through charcoal adsorbers, a security search,
waste tank oxygen levels, an inadvertent radioactive gas discharge, and a failure to properly
control the removal of electrical cable fire wrap material. These violations are being treated as
non-cited violations (NCVs), consistent with the Interim Enforcement Policy for pilot plants.
These NCVs are described in the subject inspection report and have been entered into your
corrective action program. If you contest the nature or severity level of any of these NCVs, you
should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for
your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk,
Washington, DC 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region I, and the
Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, *
DC 20555-0001.
