JUN 2 3 1983 MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. Denton, Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation R. C. DeYoung, Director, Office of Inspection and Enforcement
.T. Murley, Regional Administrator, Region I FROM:
R. W. Starostecki, Director, Division of Project and Resident Programs
SUBJECT:
SALEM AUGMENTED INSPECTION PROGRAM - PROPOSED Consistent with established policy, Region I has the responsibility for followup of the Salem ATWS event. This is based on prior discussions and agreements between NRR, IE, and the Region.
In accordance with this responsibility we have developed an augmented inspection program.
This memorandum and the attached table provide our proposed plan for monitoring and evaluating the PSE&G performance improvement program at Salem over the next one to two years. These efforts primarily consist of inspection activities, but include management involvement in periodic meetings with the licensee. The management meetings, which are in addition to the Basic Inspection Program, consist of frequent meetings with PSE&G management by various levels of.NRC staff and managers to assess the licensee's progress towards completion of commitments, and inspections to verify the adequacy and effectiveness of the licensee's actions. A Region I section chief is charged with the responsibil-ity for overview of these activities with responsibilities for individual items assigned as noted in the attachment. This effort will involve the active participation of the Regional Administrator, myself, branch chief, NRR project manager, and section chief, as well as the resident inspectors and project engineer.
Please note that the plan relies almost exclusively on Region I resources.
I believe that the development of the PSE&G Action Plan, in response to the MAC l
report (Item C.9.7 & C.10.b on attached table), may focus on several other i
areas that may warrant further IE and NRR participation. Accordingly, these actiorts will be closely monitored by the Region and, as necessary, additional NRR/IE assistance will be requested.
I A team inspection will be conducted in September 1983 which will concentrate on i
T he licensee's maintenance and procurement program. The team concept takes advantage of perceptions of Salem management by other NRC personnel involved in reviews of licensee activities.
For example, NRR personnel are involved in i
onsite review of the licensee's verification of operability of safety related
. systems for Unit I and will be involved in a review of Unit 2 short term actions.
I also have arranged with C. Thayer, Director, NRTC, to use a RTC i
instructor for a two-week period at Salem. Additionally, IE has agreed to tentatively schedule a Performance Appraisal Team (PAT) inspection 9 - 12 l.
months from now.

After approximately one year, I intend to reevaluate the need for an augmented inspection program and recommend termination or modification, as appropriate, i
based on SALP results and plant performance. Completion of the augmented l
program will be documented in a memorandum from the Regional Administrator to the EDO.. Specific individual activities will be documented in regular inspec-tion and meeting reports.
It is expected, however, that senior level manage-ment meetings will continue for approximately one more year on a reduced frequency basis. Accordingly, this proposed plan is subject to revision and will incorporate constructive improvements as they become evident.
This augmented program will rely on more effective use of existing resources, and we will not budget for more resources. Some benefits will accrue due to the assignment of a new Senior Resident Inspector in that we will have three residents onsite during frequent periods over the next three months.
