Gentlemen:

Subject:

Inspection Report No. 50-272/82-28

This refers to the special inspection conducted by Mr. J. R. White of this office

on September 3, 1982 at the Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 1 of activities

authorized by NRC License No. DPR-70 and to the discussions of our findings held

by Mr. White with Mr. H. Midura at the conclusion of the inspection, and to sub-

sequent telephone discussions between Mr. W. Jocker and Mr. Norris Allman of your

staff and J. R. White on September 10, and November 1, 1982, respectively.

Areas examined during this inspection are described in the NRC Region I

Inspection Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these areas, the

inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative

records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.

Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that one of your activities

was not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth in the-

Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.

This violation has 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 ?..

In addition to the

need for corrective action regarding this specific violation, we are concerned

about the implementation of your management control systems that permitted it to

occur; particularly since you had previously reported that the involved written

procedure had been revised, leaving the impression that it would be implemented,

thereby preventing recurrence of the problem. Consequently, in your reply, you

should describe in particular, those actions taken or planned to improve the

effectiveness of your management control systems.

In addition, in the telephone discussion on November 1, 1982, Mr. Norris Allman,

Senior Staff Engineer - Licensing and Environment, committed on behalf of the

licensee, to review all gaseous effluent reports made in accordance with ETS

5.6.1.2 since 1976, and to report via a letter to the Regional Administrator,

Region I by January 18, 1983, 1) the results of such review relative to the

accuracy of the method used to derive the data, 2) if incongruities exist simi-

lar to that noted in the 1982 semi-annual effluent report, and 3) the resolution

of such incongruities.

If our understanding of this commitment is incorrect,

please notify this office within thirty days of the date of this letter.
