Salem NGS Units 1 and 2 - Acceptance Review of LAR to Correct a Non-Conservative TS Applicability Statement and Inconsistent Action Statements (TAC Nos. MF6987 and MF6988)

By letter dated October 12, 2015 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML15285A014), PSEG Nuclear LLC submitted a license amendment request that would revise the applicability statement for Salem Nuclear Generating Station Units 1 and 2 Technical Specification (TS) 3.6.2.3, Containment Cooling System, to correct a discrepancy between TS mode applicability and the shutdown mode in the associated action statements. The request also proposes changes to action statements in the Unit 1 and Unit 2 TS 3.7.1.1, Safety Valves, to correct discrepancies between TS mode applicability and action statement shutdown modes.

The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of the submittal. 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 this license amendment request 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.

If you have any questions, please contact me.
