SUBJECT:

OYSTER CREEK GENERATING STATION - NRC LICENSE RENEWAL

FOLLOW-UP INSPECTION REPORT 05000219/2008007

Dear Mr. Pardee

On December 23, 2008, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an

inspection at your Oyster Creek Generating Station. The enclosed report documents the

inspection results, which were discussed on December 23, 2008, with Mr. T. Rausch, Site Vice

President, Mr. M. Gallagher, Vice President License Renewal, and other members of your staff.

First, the inspection examined activities conducted under your current license as they relate to

safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations. This portion of the

inspection focused on the inservice inspection of the drywell containment. Based on the results

of the NRC's inspection, the NRC determined there were no safety significant conditions

affecting current operations. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records,

observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

xxx, Modes >> Revised

Second, this inspection was also conducted using the guidance of Inspection Procedure (IP) 71003 "Post-Approval Site Inspection for License Renewal" as a prudent measure to observe

Oyster Creek license renewal activities during the last planned refueling outage prior to entering

the period of extended operation. The license renewal application had was the subject of a

hearing and the ASLB decision is being appealed to asocciated with it and the matter isbefore

the Commission-G-appýea.

Because a renewed license has not been issued, the proposed,

license conditions and associated regulatory commitments, made as a part of the license

renewal application, are not in effect. Accordingly, the enclosed report records-the inspector's

observations only.
