SUBJECT:
NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50 354/98-07
Dear Mr. Keiser:
On August 8,1998, the NRC cornpleted an inspection at your Hope Creek reactor facility.
The enclosed report presents the results'of that inspection.
Throughout the six-week period covered by this inspection period, your conduct of
activities at the Hope Creek facility was generally characterized by safety-conscious
operations, sound engineering and maintenance practices, and careful radiological work
coritto!e-.
During the insoection, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. The violation is
cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice), and the circumstances surrounding it is
described in the subject inspection report. The violation was identified by NRC inspectors
and was related to inadequate corrective actions to resolve an issue associated with
deficient testing methodology for main steam isoution valves (for valve position
verification). PSE&G was made aware of this issue by industry correspondence in 1989.
The NRC has concluded that information regarding the reason for the violation, the
corrective actions taken and planned to correct the violation and prevent recurrence is
already adequately addressed on the docket in the enclosed report. Therefore, you are not
required to respond to this letter unless the description does not accurately reflect your
corrective actions or your position. In that case, or if you choose to provide additional
k.
Information, you should follow the instruction specified in the enclosed Notice.
