Discussion:

On January 12, 1998, citing the completion of his commitment, Leon       
Eliason announced his plans to retire as president and chief nuclear     
officer of PSE and G's nuclear operations.  He had joined PSE and G in   
this capacity in October 1994.  PSE and G simultaneously announced the   
appointment of Harold W. Keiser to succeed Eliason.  Keiser joins PSE and
G from Commonwealth Edison, in Illinois, where he was vice president and 
chief operating officer of the company's nuclear unit.  Prior to that, he
was executive vice president and chief operating officer of Entergy      
Operations, Inc., in Jackson Mississippi, the nuclear subsidiary of      
Entergy Corporation.  Prior to joining Entergy, Keiser spent thirteen    
years at Pennsylvania Power and Light, leaving in March 1993 as Senior   
Vice President, Nuclear Operations.                                      
                                                                         
Keiser's appointment will take effect immediately, in order to allow for 
a three-month transition through April 30, 1998, the effective date of   
Eliason's retirement at which time Keiser will assume the title of       
president and chief nuclear officer.

Discussion:

Following a public meeting with the licensee on January 8, 1998, the NRC 
sent a special team to D. C. Cook on January 9, 1998. The purpose of the 
team is to review a sampling of the licensee's corrective actions in     
response to the Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL) issued on September 19, 
1997. The team will also validate the licensee's root cause analysis and 
verify some of the licensee's conclusions reached during their assessment
of the CAL items. Following the inspection, the NRC will assess the      
results of the inspection and make a determination regarding whether or  
not to lift the CAL.                                                     
                                                                         
The team consists of a team leader from Region III, a region based       
inspector, the former Architect Engineering (AE) Team leader from NRR and
two of the original AE Team contractors. The inspection is currently     
scheduled to last approximately two weeks.
