Dear Charles McFeaters:

On August 22, 2024, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at Hope Creek Generating Station and Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1 and 2, and discussed the results of this inspection with Robert DeNight, Hope Creek Site Vice President and Thomas Mulholland, Senior Director of Engineering, and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.

Five findings of very low security significance (Green) are documented in this report. Five of these findings involved violations of NRC requirements. We are treating these violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.

Licensee-identified violations which were determined to be of very low security significance are documented in this report. We are treating these violations as NCVs consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.

If you contest the violations or the significance or severity of the violations documented in this inspection report, 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:
