Pursuant *to

10- CFR §50.51. which requires that a fixed period of duration be estab-lished for all licenses, an expiration date of one year from date of issuan~e was set forth in paragraph_ 2.G of the Salem 2 license. It was exp~cted that the staff review of the application for license filed by PSE&G would be completed by thaLdate.
Since the issuance of the License for Fuel Loading and Low Power Testing, all-outstanding issues have been resolved to the satisfaction of the staff except those relating to emergency planning.
The results of the staff's
- review were discussed with the Commission on January 14, 1981 and are documented in Supplement No. 5 to the Commission 1s Safety Evaluation Report (NUREG-0517), dated January 31, 1981.
At the January 14, 1981 Commission meeting, the Commission decided that it is now prepared to issue a full power license for Salem 2 pending an acceptable finding on emergency preparedness around the Salem site.
The NRC finding on emergency preparedness is in part based on Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) findings on the adequacy of the Delaware and New Jersey State and local emergency plans. At the January 14, 1981 Commission meeting, the FEMA representative stated that FEMA 1 s finding and determination with respect to the State and lotal plans would not be forth-coming until late ~pril based on a projected emergency res~onse exercise date.late in March, 1981, and on a need for further FEMA processing before issuing a judgment to the NRC on the adequacy of the plans.
B~sed on FEMA 1s schedules, the NRC will be unable to make.an overall finding on the issuance of a full power license for Salem 2 until after the April 18, 1981 expiration date of the Salern 2 Fuel Load and. low Power Testing License. Therefore, the staff concludes that these remaining actions are beyond the control.of the licensee and, therefore, good cause has been shown for extension of the license expiration date to April 18, 1983.

SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNIT NO. 2 DOCKET NO. 50-311 On April 18, 1980, a License for Fuel Loading and LN1 Power Testing was issued to Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSH,G), et.al. for the Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 2. Pursuant to 10 CFR §50.51, which requires that a fixed period of duration be established for all licenses, an expiration date of one year frow date of issuance was set. forth in paragraph 2.G of the Salem 2 license. It was expected that the staff review of the application for license filed by PSE&G would be completed by that date.
On February 10, 1981, PSE&G submitted a letter requesting extension of the expiration date of the license.
Since the issuance of the License for Fuel Loading and Low Power Testing, all outstandinq issues have been resolved to the satisfaction of the staff except those r~lating to emergency planning.
The results of the staff's review were discussed with the Commission on January 14, 1981 and are documented in Supplement No. 5 to the Commissiori's Safety Evaluation Report (fWREG-0517), dated January 31, 1981.
At the January 14, 1981 Commission meeting, the Commission decided that it is nm*J prepared to issue a full power license for Salem 2 pending an acceptable finding on emergency preparedness*
around the Salem site.
'.I The NRC finding on emergency preparedness is in part based on Federal

.... 2-further concluded that the amendme~t in~olve~ an action which is insignificant from the standpoint of environmental impact and, pursuant to 10 CFR §51.5(d)(4),
that an environmental impact statement or negative declaration and environmental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment.
Coriclusion We have. concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that:
- (1) because the amendment does not involve a sianificant increase in the probability or consequences of accidents previously considered and does not involve a si grii fi ca.nt decrease in a safety margin, the amendment does not
- inv6lve a significant hazards consideration, (2) there is reasonable
- assurance that the heal th and safety of the public wi 11 not be endangered
- by. operation in the proposed manner, and (3) such activities will be con-ducted in compliance with the Commission 1 s regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
