NRC Recognition as the Best
Hope Creek, Public Service Electric and Gas Company
EOPs, AOPs, NOPs and Maintenance Procedures
NEC's first large scale project was the initial development and validation of operations, maintenance, chemistry and technical procedures at the Hope Creek Generating Station beginning in 1984. This included development of emergency, abnormal and normal operating procedures, as well as mechanical, I&C and electrical maintenance procedures. During the NRC operational readiness review at Hope Creek, the NRC inspector stated that the Tech Spec implementing surveillances were the best they had seen during their inspection of new construction nuclear plants being licensed by NRC.
