Acceptance Review for TACs MD9309, MD9310 and MD9311 - Hope Creek &

Salem Amendment Requests - Working Hours

Jeff, By letter dated July 21, 2008 (ADAMS Accession No. ML082140239), PSEG Nuclear LLC submitted license amendment requests for Hope Creek Generating Station and Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2. The proposed amendments would remove Technical Specification administrative controls imposed by Generic Letter 82-12, "Nuclear Power Plant Staff Working Hours." The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff=s acceptance review of these amendment requests. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.

Consistent with Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), an amendment to the license (including the technical specifications) must fully describe the changes requested, and following as far as applicable, the form prescribed for original applications. Section 50.34 of 10 CFR addresses the content of technical information required.

This section stipulates that the submittal address the design and operating characteristics, unusual or novel design features, and principal safety considerations.

The NRC staff has reviewed your application and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the staff to proceed with its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendments in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. If additional information is needed for the staff to complete its technical review, you will be advised by separate correspondence.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-1420.
