NOV 0 3 2009 10 CFR 73.5 LR-N09-0248 United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555-0001 SALEM GENERATING STATION - UNIT 1 and UNIT 2 FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NOS. DPR 70 and DPR-75 NRC DOCKET NOS. 50-272 and 50-311 HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-57 NRC DOCKET NO. 50-354
Subject:
REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION FROM PHYSICAL SECURITY REQUIREMENTS In accordance with the requirements of 10CFR 73.5, PSEG Nuclear LLC requests the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approve an exemption from specific requirements of 10 CFR Part 73, "Physical Protection of Plants and Materials" for the combined Salem - Hope Creek Generating Station site by extending the deadline for the implementation of certain measures required by the new rule.
The NRC issued a Final Rule for new security requirements in the Federal Register dated March 27, 2009. Pursuant to the Final Rule, the new security requirements must be implemented by March 31, 2010. PSEG Nuclear has evaluated these new requirements and determined that many of the new requirements can be implemented within this brief implementation period. PSEG Nuclear has determined, however, that implementation of specific parts of the new requirements will require more-time to implement since they involve significant physical modifications that have a large impact on the PSEG Nuclear defense security strategy and Protected Area boundary. Therefore, additional time beyond the March 31, 2010 date is requested to complete these security modifications.
