SUBJECT: RESPONSE TO DISPUTED NON-CITED VIOLATION DOCUMENTED IN

SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, INSPECTION

REPORT 05000272, 05000311/2018403

Dear Mr. Sena:

On September 19, 2018, PSEG Nuclear (PSEG) provided a written response (ML18262A301) 1

to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Inspection Report 05000272, 0500311/2018403

issued on August 6, 2018 (cover letter ML18218A506, cover letter with non-public report

ML18218A487), for an inspection completed at Salem Nuclear Generating Station Units 1 and 2

(Salem). In the letter, PSEG disputed a Green non-cited violation (NCV) 05000272,05000311/2018403-01, which was documented in the inspection report.

The NRC conducted a detailed review of your response and the applicable NRC regulations and

inspection guidance. Our review was performed by NRC staff members who possess relevant

regulatory knowledge and who did not participate in the subject inspection.

After careful consideration of the bases for your denial, we maintained that a violation of a

regulatory requirement existed but was more appropriately described through a revision to the

NCV. The details of this determination and the revised NCV are described in the Enclosures.

Enclosures transmitted herewith contain Sensitive,

Unclassified, Non-Safeguards Information. When

separated from the Enclosures, the transmittal

document is decontrolled.

1 Designation refers to an Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) accession number. Documents referenced in this letter are

publicly-available using the accession number in ADAMS at https://adams.nrc.gov/wba/ For problems with ADAMS, please contact the NRCs Public

Document Room (PDR) reference staff at 1-800-397-4209, 301-415-4737, or by e-mail to pdr.resource@nrc.gov.
