OFFICIAL USE ONLY PROPRIETARY INFORMATION UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 September 1,2011 Mr. Thomas Joyce President and Chief Nuclear Officer PSEG Nuclear, LLC P.O. Box 236, N09 Hancocks Bridge, NJ 08038
SUBJECT:
HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION - TRANSMITTAL OF DRAFT SAFETY EVALUATION FOR PROPOSED AMENDMENT RE: OPERATION WITH FINAL FEEDWATER TEMPERATURE REDUCTION AND FEEDWATER HEATERS OUT-OF-SERVICE (TAC NO. ME4786)
Dear Mr. Joyce:
By letter dated September 22, 2010, as supplemented by letter dated April 28, 2011, PSEG Nuclear, LLC (PSEG, the licensee) submitted a proposed license amendment for Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS). The proposed amendment would allow HCGS to operate at a reduced feedwater temperature for purposes of extending the normal fuel cycle. The amendment would also allow operation with feedwater heaters out-of-service at any time during the operating cycle. In addition, the amendment would revise surveillance requirements related to testing of the Oscillation Power Range Monitor.
Enclosed is the draft Safety Evaluation (SE) that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has prepared to support the proposed license amendment. Pursuant to Section 2.390 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), we have made a preliminary determination that the enclosed draft SE does not contain proprietary information. However, since the NRC's review was based largely on review of proprietary information, the NRC staff requests that the licensee confirm that the draft SE does not contain any information that is considered proprietary. If you believe that any information is proprietary, please identify such information line-by-line and define the basis pursuant to the criteria of 10 CFR 2.390.
The NRC staff requests that PSEG provide comments regarding the proprietary content in the draft SE within 5 business days from the date of this letter. The response timeframe was discussed with Mr. Paul Duke of your staff on August 31, 2011.
Since the NRC review is not yet complete, this letter and the enclosure do not conveyor represent an !\\IRC staff position regarding the licensee's request. Should the amendment be approved, the NRC staff will issue a publicly available, nonproprietary version of the SE.
Enclosure transmitted herewith contains sensitive unclassified information.
When separated from enclosure, this transmittal document is decontrolled.
