, l Mr. Harold W. Keiser 3 Hope Creek Generating Station 4

Performance in plant support areas continued to be good. Radiological protection programs l l were strong, including good control of high radiation areas, training, and radwaste l transportation. PSE&G successfully maintained and implemented the radiological l environmental monitoring program, though some procedural deficiencies existed in sample  !

collection processes. Plant security programs continued to be effectively implemented and i maintained. No new assessments were made of the emergency preparedness or fire protection l programs. We plan to perform the normal NRC core inspection. The baseline inspection 4 program will affect inspections beginning in June 1999.

Enclosure 1 contains a historical listing of plant issues, referred to as the Plant Issues Matrix (PIM), that were considered during this PPR process to arrive at an integrated view of performance trends. You will find that the PIM is in two different formats due to a program change that was effective on October 1,1998. The PIM includes only items from inspection reports or other docketed correspondence between the NRC and Public Service Electric and l Gas Company. The NRC does not attempt to document all aspects of licensee programs and performance that may be functioning appropriately. Rather, the NRC only documents issues that the NRC believes warrant management attention or represent noteworthy aspects of performance. In addition, the PPR may also have considered some predecisional and draft material that does not appear in the attached PIM, including observations from events and inspections that have occurred since the last NRC inspection report was issued, but had not yet received full NRC review and consideration. This material will be placed in the PDR as part of the normalissuance of NRC inspection reports and our other correspondence.

This letter advises you of our plans =pection effort resulting from the PPR. It is provided to minimize the resource impact on your staff and to allow for scheduling conflicts and personnel availability to be resolved in advance of inspector arrival onsite. Enclosure 2 details our l inspection plan for the next few months, beyond which the pilot program will address. The l rationale or basis for each inspection outside the core inspection program is provided so that l you are aware of the reason for emphasis in these program areas. Resident inspections are not l listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature.

I We willinform you of any changes to the inspection plan. If you have any questions, please contact me at (610) 337- 5211.

Sincerely,
