{{#Wiki_filter:y , . > . . October 1,1999 Mr. Harold W. Keiser President and Chief Nuclear Offx:er PSEG Nuclear LLC - Post Office Box 236 Hancocks Bridge, NJ 08038 SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REF MT 50-354/99-05 Dear Mr. Keiser: On August 29,1999, the NRC completed an inspection of your Hope Creek facility. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection. The preliminary findings were presented to PSEG management, led by Mr. Dave Garchow, in an exit meeting on September 8,1999. , p This inspection was an examination of activities conducted under your license as they related to reactor safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations, and with the conditions of your license. The attached report documents the results of seven weeks of ' resident inspection and a one week inspection focused on radiologically controlled area access, - ~ Al. ARA planning, and radiation monitoring instrumentation. Within these areas the inspection . consisted of a selected examination of procedures and representative records, observations of activities, and interviews with personnel. Negative findings were assessed using the significance determination process; all findings either " screened out" of the process or were ] determined to be within the licensee response band (Green). _We determined that four violations of NRC requirements occurred regarding the areas of fire _ protection, operation at reduced feedwater inlet temperature and safety-related battery charging operations. These violations are heing treated as non-cited violations (NCVs), consistent with . the Interim Enforcement Policy for pilot plants. These violations are described in the subject inspection report and have been entered into your corrective action program. )

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its

i enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR). Sincerely, Original Signed By: Glenn W. Meyer, Chief \\ ^ 9910120058 991001' Projects Branch 3' '* PDft ADOCK 05000354 Division of Reactor Projects a C P*
