Conference Call with PSEG Nuclear on Oct. 29, 2009 Datc: 10/29/2009K Time: 9:00 to 10:00 AM frV Call-In # = 1-866-560-5105;1 Hi Andy -

As we discussed on the phone, representatives of PSEG Nuclear and Exelon (PSEG's agent for the Salem and Hope Creek License Renewal) will participate in a conference call tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM with Charles Eccleston, the NRC's Environmental Project Manager. Since Charles has only recently been assigned to the Salem and Hope Creek projects, the purpose of the call is to provide an overview of the license renewal environmental reviews that PSEG Nuclear has completed and documented in the License Renewal Environmental Reports for the two plants. Your participation in the call would be welcome.

Other participant's in the call, besides you and Charles, will be the following:

Nancy L. Ranek, Exelon License Renewal Senior Environmental Lead Edward J. Keating, PSEG Nuclear Senior Environmental Advisor John G. Hufnagel, Jr., Exelon Senior License Renewal Licensing Lead Ali A. Fakhar, PSEG Nuclear Salem License Renewal Site Lead 1.

James M. Stavely, PSEG Nuclear Hope Creek License Renewal Site Lead I am attaching two files. One contains the handout for tomorrow's call. The other was used in March 2009 by the PSEG and Exelon Salem/Hope Creek teams to brief the NRC staff about the Salem and Hope Creek License Renewal projects.

This latter briefing occurred at a public meeting, so the presentation is probably already available in ADAMS.

Call-in information for tomorrow's conference call is located above the greeting in this message.

Please feel free to call me or John Hufnagel (610-765-5829) if there are questions.

Thanks.
