Public Service Electric and Gas Company Stanley LaBruna Public Service Electric and Gas Company P.O. Box 236, Hancocks Bridge, NJ 08038 609-339-4800 Vice President - Nuclear Operations December 27, 1989 NLR-N89236 United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 Gentlemen:

ASME SECTION XI CODE CASE APPLICATION CODE CASE N-460 SALEM AND HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATIONS DOCKET NOS. 50-311 AND 50-354 Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) respectfully requests the application of ASME Section XI Code Case N-460 to Salem Unit 2 and Hope Creek Unit 1.

PSE&G originally requested NRC approval for use of the subject code case for Salem Unit 1 on January 26, 1989 in response to an RAI.

Your letter dated February 3, 1989 approved this request.

To facilitate your review, copies of these two letters are provided as Attachments 1 and 2.

In summary, ASME Section XI, Code Case N-460 states that when the entire examination volume or area cannot be examined due to interference by another component or part geometry, a reduction in examination coverage on any Class 1 or Class 2 weld may be accepted provided the reduction in coverage for that weld is less than 10%.

PSE&G concurs with this ASME assessment and believes that the use of this code case would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety.

In accordance with the requirements of 10CFR170.21, a check in the amount of $150.00 is enclosed.

Should you have any questions with regard to this transmittal, CJ,

please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely, Attachments
