SUMMARY

-UNIT 2 JULY 1997 SALEM UNIT 2 The unit remained shutdown for the entire period. According to commitments from PSE&G and a subsequent confirmatory action letter from the NRC, the unit will remain shutdown pending completion of the following actions:

Appropriately address long standing equipment reliability and operability issues.

After the work is completed, conduct a restart readiness review to determine for ourselves the ability of the unit to operate in a safe, event free manner.

After the restart review, meet with the NRC and communicate the results of that review.

SUMMARY

OF CHANGES, TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS FOR THE HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION MONTH JULY 1997 The following items completed during July 1997 have been evaluated to determine:

1. If the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the safety analysis report may be increased; or 2. If a possibility for an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the safety analysis report may be created; or 3. If the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any technical specification is reduced. The 10CFR50.59 Safety Evaluations showed that these items did not create a new safety hazard to the plant nor did they affect the safe shutdown of the reactor. These items did not change the plant effluent releases and did not alter the existing environmental impact. The 10CFR50.59 Safety Evaluations determined that no unreviewed safety or environmental questions are involved.

Design Changes Summary of Safety Evaluations 2EC-3341, Pkg. 1, Turbine Gland Sealing Steam and Leak Off System Modifications.

This design change modifies the Turbine Gland Sealing Steam and Leak-Off system. The modifications include a new control valve, a new gland seal steam header pressure controller, a strainer with a drain valves and blowdown line, new internals for the high pressure turbine cylinder warming header steam pressure control valves, new turbine gland local steam pressure gauges and root valves, new orifice couplings, and the relocation of free blow valve piping connections.

This design change does not negatively impact any accident response.
