Gentlemen:

Subject: Inspection Report Nos. 50-272/87-02 and 50-311/87-02

This letter refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Mr. K. Manoly

of this office on January 12-16, 1987 at the Salem Nuclear Generating Station

Units 1 and 2. Mr. K. Manoly discussed the results of the inspection with Mr.

B. Preston of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection. Our findings

were further discussed in a telephone conversation between Mr. J. Strosnider

of my staff and Mr. B. Preston on February 18, 1987.

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.

.

Our inspector also verified the steps you have taken to correct the violation

brought to your attention in the enclosure to our letter dated April 7, 1986.

We have no further questions regarding your action at this time.

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

were 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 revised NRC Enforce-

ment Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C) published in the Federal Register Notice (49

FR 8583) dated March 8, 1984. You are required to respond to this letter. In

preparing your response, you should follow the instructions in Appendix A, and

alsc. indicate your assessment of: (1) the apparent similarity between the

weaknesses relating to the design interface and plant configuration control as

evidenced by our findings in this inspection in the mechanical / structural area

and in inspection No. 311/86-26 in the electrical area regarding the addition

of electrical loads without determining their effects on the transient response

of the electrical systems, and (2) the apparent lack of detailed review of your

contractors technical report as noted during our examination of Franklin Research

report on testing of piping anchor U-bolt assemblies.

The responses directed by this letter and the accompanying Notice are not subject

to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
