Dear Mr. Sena:

On June 22, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at

Salem Nuclear Generating Stations (Salem), Units 1 and 2. On the same day, the NRC

inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. Charles McFeaters, Salem Vice

President and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the

enclosed report.

NRC inspectors documented one finding of very low safety significance (Green) in this report.

This finding involved a violation of NRC requirements. Additionally, inspectors documented a

licensee-identified violation which was determined to be of very low safety significance. The

NRC is treating these violations as a non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a

of the Enforcement Policy.

One cross-cutting aspect was assigned to a finding in the area of Problem Identification and

Resolution. Specifically, PSEG failed to thoroughly evaluate issues to ensure that resolutions

address causes and extent of conditions commensurate with their safety significance, [P.2].

If you contest the violations or significance of these NCVs, you should provide a response within

30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with

copies to the Regional Administrator, Region I; the Director, Office of Enforcement; and the NRC

Resident Inspector at Salem.

Enclosure(s) transmitted herewith contain(s) Sensitive,

Unclassified, Non-Safeguards Information. When separated

from the Enclosure(s), the transmittal document is decontrolled.
