%,,,,, /
May 6, 1994 CHAIRMAN The Honorable Joseph Biden United States Senate Washington, D.C.
20510
Dear Senator Biden:
The recent alert at the Salem Nuclear Power Plant led the staff to dispatch an Augmented Inspection Team (AIT) to that site so that the events leading up to, during, and after the reactor trip of April 7, 1994, would be thoroughly understood.
Our staff has briefed your staff concerning that inspection.
I want you to know that the Commission and the staff are con-cerned about recent operations and performance at Salem.
The staff is holding a public meeting today, on site, with the licensee in order to thoroughly discuss their activities subsequent to the April 7 event and to address deficiencies as part of an overall improvement effort.
The Commission has scheduled a meeting with the licensee and the NRC staff on Monday, May 9, 1994, so that we can fully understand the actions that the licensee has taken to prepare for restart of Salem Unit 1.
We will keep you informed of our ongoing activities at Salem.
Our activities will be geared to ensuring that licensee efforts to improve performance are effective and sustained.
Sincerely,
,sd Ivan Selin 9405200072 940506 PDR COMMS NRCC CDRRESPONDENCE PDR 170C02 go
