LR-N 15-0025 Attachment 1 Salem Generating Station Fourth Six-Month Status Report for the Implementation of Order EA-12-051, Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation

LR-N 15-0025 1 Introduction PSEG developed an Overall Integrated Plan (OIP) (Reference 1) for Salem Generating Station (SGS) Units 1 and 2, documenting the plan to meet the requirements to install reliable spent fuel pool instrumentation (SFPI) in response to NRC Order EA-12-051 (Reference 2). In References 3, 4, and 5, PSEG provided the previous six-month status reports associated with implementation of the requirements of NRC Order EA-12-051.

This report is the fourth six-month status report, which provides implementation status as of January 31, 2015. This status report follows the guidance in Appendix A to Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Report 12-02, Revision 1 (Reference 6), which states that the six-month status reports should include any changes to the compliance method, schedule, and the need for relief and the basis for relief, if applicable. Sections 2 and 3 of this status report include milestone accomplishments and milestone schedule status, respectively. There are no changes to the compliance method or requests for relief associated with this report.

2 Milestone Accomplishments As of January 31, 2015, the following milestones have been completed since the development of the OIP (Reference 1).

  • Submit Overall Integrated Plan
  • Issue SFPI Equipment Purchase Order
  • Design Change Package - PSEG completed the detailed SFPI design for SGS Units 1 and 2, and completed design change implementation activities for SGS Unit 1 during the fall 2014 refueling outage.
  • Procedures - issued for SGS Unit 1
  • Training - completed for SGS Unit 1
  • Submit Final Completion Report - completed for SGS Unit 1 (Reference 7) 3 Milestone Schedule Status The following table provides an update of the milestone schedule provided in Section 3 of the OIP (Reference 1), as well as additional milestones (e.g., six-month status reports, procedures, training and a completion report) that have been included for completeness. The table provides the activity status of each item, and the expected completion date noting any changes. The dates are planning dates subject to change as implementation details are finalized. Activities apply to both SGS Units 1 and 2 unless indicated otherwise.
