AUG 222013 LR-N13-0174 Order EA-12-051 Page 2 On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued an Order (Reference 1) to PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG). Reference 1 was immediately effective and directs PSEG to install reliable spent fuel pool level instrumentation. Specific requirements are outlined in Attachment 2 of Reference 1. The purpose of this letter is to provide the first six-month status report which delineates progress made in implementing the requirements of the Order, pursuant to Condition IV.C.2 of Reference 1.

Reference 1 required submission of an initial status report 60 days following issuance of the final interim staff guidance (Reference 2) and an Overall Integrated Plan pursuant to Section IV.C. Reference 2 endorses, with exceptions and clarifications, industry guidance document NEI 12-02, Revision 1 (Reference 3) as an acceptable means of meeting the requirements of Reference 1. Reference 4 provided the Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS) initial status report regarding reliable spent fuel pool instrumentation. Reference 5 provided the HCGS spent fuel pool level instrumentation Overall Integrated Plan.

Reference 1 requires submission of a status report at six-month intervals following submittal of the Overall Integrated Plan. NEI 12-02 (Reference 3) provides direction re§afdin§-tMe-e()flteflt-()f-tMe-st-attJs-Fe~E>rts;**i.e.,-the-re~E>rts-shotJld include any-changes ..
