Subject:

NRC Acceptance Review for Salem Unit 1 and 2 LAR Regarding TS Actions Regarding the Control Room Emergency Air Conditioning System Paul and Brian, By letter dated July 17, 2012, PSEG submitted a license amendment request for Salem Generating Station Units 1 and 2 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12199A426; TAC Nos. ME9095 and ME9096) to revise Technical Specification (TS) 3/4.7.6.1 (Unit 1) and 3/4.7.6 (Unit 2),

"Control Room Emergency Air Conditioning System," by removing the separate action for securing an inoperable Control Area Air Conditioning and Control Room Emergency Air Conditioning System isolation damper in the closed position and entering the actions for an inoperable control room envelope boundary. The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this amendment request. 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.

The NRC staff has reviewed your application and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. Given the lesser scope and depth of the acceptance review as compared to the detailed technical review, there may be instances in which issues that impact the NRC staffs ability to complete the detailed technical review are identified despite completion of an adequate acceptance review. If additional information is needed, you will be advised by separate correspondence.
