Dear Mr. Carr:

On September 17, 2021, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a problem identification and resolution inspection at your Hope Creek Generating Station (Hope Creek)

and Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 (Salem), and discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. Charles Mcfeaters, Senior Vice President of Nuclear Operations, and other members of your staff. The results of the security-related information review during this inspection are documented in the enclosed report. The non-security-related inspection results for the problem identification and resolution inspection are documented in Hope Creek and Salem Inspection Reports 05000354/2021012, 05000272/2021012 and 05000311/2021012.

One finding of very low security significance (Green) involving a violation of NRC requirements is documented in this report. Further, the inspectors documented a licensee-identified violation which was determined to be of very low security significance.

The following cross cutting aspect was assigned to a finding using Inspection Manual Chapter 0310 Aspects Within Cross Cutting Areas: [P.3] - Resolution.

If you contest the violations or the significance or severity of the violations or the cross-cutting assignment 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: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region I; the Director, Office of Enforcement; the Director, Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response; and the NRC Resident Inspectors at Hope Creek and Salem.
