Dear Mr. Joyce:

On July 17, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Hope Creek and Salem facilities using Temporary Instruction 2515/186, Inspection of Procedures and Processes for Responding to Potential Aircraft Threats. The enclosed inspection report documents the results of the inspection, which were discussed with Ms. Susan Simpson, Manager, Hope Creek Regulatory Affairs, and other members of your staff.

The objective of this inspection was to assess the implementation procedures and processes at Hope Creek and Salem that are required by Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 50.54(hh)(1)), which provides the requirements for responding to a potential aircraft threat. The results from this inspection, along with the results from this inspection performed at other operating commercial nuclear plants in the United States, will be used to evaluate the U.S.

nuclear industrys readiness to safely respond to similar events. These results will also help the NRC to determine if additional regulatory actions are warranted.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to the implementation of 10 CFR 50.54(hh)(1), your compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations, and with the conditions of your operating licenses. Within these areas, the inspection involved examination of selected procedures and representative records, observations of activities, and interviews with personnel.

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

Therefore, the material in the enclosure will not be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the PARS component of NRC's ADAMS. If you choose to provide a response and Security-Related Information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please mark your entire response Security-Related Information - Withhold from public disclosure under 10 CFR 2.390 in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1) and follow the instructions for withholding in 10 CFR 2.390 (b)(1).

Sincerely,

/RA/
