Gentlemen:

Subject: Inspection No. 50-354/88-23

This letter transmits the findings of the routine, resident safety inspection

conducted by Mr. G. Meyer and Mr. D. Allsopp from August 23, 1988 to October

11, 1988, at the Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station. The findings were

discussed with Mr. J. Hagan of your staf f.

It is apparent from your evaluations that thr. Hope Creek reactor has been

operated at powers marginally above the rat'ed thermal power specified in the

operating license. This reactor operation resulted from errors associated with

the lack of feedwatcr flow transmitter adjustments for transmitter static

pressure effect and venturi thermal exr.ansion, which your staff identified and

corrected. This area has been categeelzed as unresolved in this inspection

report, and will be further evaluat'ed for potential enforcement based on our

review of your final evaluation o' the occurrence.

No response to this letter is needed. We appreciate your cooperation.

Sincerely,

MINM. SIGNED BY
