Supplement to License Amendment Request to Isolate Unborated Water Sources and Use Gamma-Metrics Post-Accident Neutron Monitors during Mode 6 (Refueling)

Reference:

LR-N14-0185, "License Amendment Request to Isolate Unborated Water Sources and Use Gamma-Metrics Post-Accident Neutron Monitors during Mode 6 (Refueling)," dated March 9, 2015 On March 9, 2015, PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-70 and 75 for Salem Generating Station Units 1 and 2 to isolate unborated water sources and use Gamma-Metrics Post-Accident neutron monitors during Mode 6 (Refueling). Subsequent to this submittal, PSEG determined that the LAR did not contain Technical Specification (TS) markup pages for the affected TS Bases Index. Also, the LAR did not update Surveillance Requirement 4.9.2 numbering to reflect the Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) numbering change. The associated markup pages are included as Attachment 1 to this letter.

The TS Surveillance Requirement number and Bases Index changes do not affect the Technical Analysis or No Significant Hazards Consideration conclusions contained in the LAR.

There are no regulatory commitments contained in this letter.

If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Brian Thomas at (856) 339-2022.
