NRC STAFF TO HOLD PREDECISIONAL ENFORCEMENT CONFERENCE WITH PSE&G

     The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will meet with officials of Public Service Electric & Gas
Company (of New Jersey) on Wednesday morning, September 11, at a predecisional enforcement conference
to discuss apparent violations of NRC regulations at the Salem nuclear generating station in Lower Alloways
Creek, New Jersey.  Those apparent violations include potential discrimination of employees engaged in
protected activities. 

     The meeting, which is open to the public for observation, will begin at 9:30 a.m.  It will be held in
the Paine Meeting Room in the Valley Forge Hilton, 251 West DeKalb Pike, in King of Prussia. 

     The decision to hold a pre-decisional enforcement conference does not mean that the NRC has
determined that a violation has occurred or that enforcement action will be taken.  Rather, the purpose is to
discuss apparent violations, their causes and safety significance; to provide the licensee an opportunity to
point out any errors that may have been made in the NRC inspection report; and to enable the licensee to
outline its proposed corrective actions.  No decision on the apparent violations will be made at this
conference.  Those decisions will be made by NRC officials at a later time.
