ATTN: . Mr.. S. E. Miltenberger

Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer

P.O. Box 236'

Hancocks Bridge, NJ. 08038

Gentlemen:

Subject: Inspection No. 50-354/89-02

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

-

conducted by Mr. G. Meyer and Mr. D. Allsopp from January 24, 1989 to March 13,

1989, at the Hope' Creek Nuclear Generating Station. The findings were discussed

with Mr. J. Hagan of. your staff.

WeLhave concluded that the uncontrolled installation of electrical jumpers in

.the controls of the drywell ' equipment drain pumps represented a violation.of

NRC requirements. We have chosen to cite this violation despite the -fact that

your personnel-found.the problem, because it appears that corrective actions

for similar. problems' cited in NRC Inspection Report 50-354/87-23 were not

sufficient to prevent recurrence. The Notice of Violation is enclosed as ,

Appendix-A. You are -required to respond to this letter and in preparing your

.

'

response, you should follow the instructions in Appendix A.

'

This letter also acknowledges receipt .of your January 13, 1989 response to the

violation cited in the NRC Inspection Report 50-354/88-24. Your corrective

i. action will be excmined during a future inspection of your licensed activities.

We appreciate your cooperation.

Sincerely.
