SUBJECT: NRC INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION INSPECTION

REPORT NOS. 05000272/2010009, 05000311/2010009, AND

07200048/2010001, SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, PSEG

Dear Mr. Joyce:

On September 20, 2010, the NRC completed an inspection of the Salem Nuclear Generating

Station Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) pre-operational activities and initial

loading of spent fuel into the ISFSI facility. The inspection period began August 9, 2010. The

findings were discussed with Lou Menoscal, Nuclear Project Manager, and other members of

your staff during a preliminary exit meeting on September 17, 2010. At the preliminary exit

meeting, Mr. Menoscal was informed the inspection would remain open until the initial

multipurpose canister (MPC) was successfully stored at the ISFSI pad. This was accomplished

on September 20, 2010. A final exit meeting was conducted, via telephone, on

September 20, 2010, with Tom Wallender, ISFSI Project Manager. The enclosed report

presents the results of this inspection.

The inspection examined activities associated with the preparation, movement and placement of

spent fuel from the spent fuel pool into the ISFSI facility. The inspectors reviewed selected

procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection, no findings were identified.

In accordance with 10 CFR Part 2.390 of the NRCs "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its

enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the

NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of the NRCs

document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web Site at

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electric Reading Room).
