Docket Nos. 50-272

Public Service Electric and Gas Company
ATTN: Mr. Richard A. Uderitz
Vice President - Nuclear
P.O. Box 236
Hancocks Bridge, New Jersey 08038
Gentlemen:
Subject: Combined Inspection 50-272/83-16, 50-311/83-15 and 50-311/83-18
This refers to the routine resident safety inspection and the special resident
safety inspection by Messrs. L. Norrholm and R. Summers on May 11 - June 8,
1983 and May 9 - 18, 1983, respectively, at the Salem Nuclear Generating
Station, Hancocks Bridge, New Jersey. The inspection consisted of document
reviews, interviews, and observation of activities. The findings were discussed
with Mr. J. M. Zupko, Jr. of your staff.
Based on the results of these inspections, it appears that certain of your
activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements. Two
of these violations are set forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith
as Appendix A. These violations have been categorized by severity level in
accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C) published in
the Federal Register Notice (47 FR 9987) dated March 9, 1982. You are required
to respond to this letter and in preparing your response, you should follow the
instructions in Appendix A.
In addition to the two violations described in the attached Notice, two other
apparent violations involving failure to meet Technical Specification Limiting
,
Conditions for Operation for maintenance of a reactor coolant system vent path
and maintenance of vital AC electrical bus equipment, are detailed in the
attached reports. We are considering these items for appropriate enforcement
action and will be addressing them under separate correspondence at a later
time.
Based on our review thus far, there appears to be a breakdown in your control
over plant conditions, particularly as it applies to the interface between
operations and maintenance activities. We want to further discuss this issue
with you at an enforcement conference in our Region I office on July 22, 1983.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a), a copy of this letter and the enclosures
will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room unless you notify this office,
by telephone, with ten days of the date of this letter and submit written
application to withhold information contained therein within thirty days of
the date of this letter. Such application must be consistent with the require-
ments of 2.790(b)(1). The telephone notification of your intent to request
withholding, or any request for an extension of the 10 day period which you
believe necessary, should be made to the Supervisor, Files, Mail and Records,
USNRC Region I, at (215) 337-5223.
