NRC Acceptance Review Of EP License Amendment Review Dated November 30, 2012 Date:
Monday, January 07, 2013 10:20:00 AM Paul and Brian,
By letter dated November 30, 2012, PSEG submitted a license amendment request for Salem Generating Station Units 1 and 2 (ADAMS Accession No. ML123380450; TAC Nos.
MF0337 and MF0338) to revise the PSEG Emergency Plan to remove the back up plant vent extended range noble gas radiation monitoring indication, recording and alarm capability in the emergency response facilities. The PSEG review of the proposed change determined that removing the installed back up plant vent radiation monitoring indication capability would result in a potential reduction in effectiveness of the Emergency Plan.
Therefore, the proposed change requires prior NRC review and approval per Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50, Section 50.54, Conditions of licenses, subsection (q)(4).
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.
Thank you and please contact me if you have any questions, John
