Salem 

    As previously reported, a Salem NRC enforcement
conference was held on July 28, 1995 related to certain
violations of NRC requirements. The violations included valves
that were incorrectly positioned following a plant
modification in May, 1993, non-conservatisms in setpoints for
a pressurizer overpressure protection system and several
examples of inadequate root cause determination of events, 
leading to insufficient corrective actions at Salem.  On
October 16, 1995, the NRC proposed cumulative civil penalties
of $600,000 related to these violations.  PSE&G has advised
