UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, 0. C. 20555 Docket Nos. 50-272/311 Mr. Steven E. Miltenberger Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Public Service Electric & Gas Company Post Office Box 236 Hancocks Bridge, New Jersey 08038 Oear Mr. Miltenberger:
April 10, 1990
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR AOD ITIONAL INFORMATION FOR AMENDMENT INVOLVING 40 YE.A.R OPERATING LICENSE EXTENSION (TAC NOS. 69267 AND 69268)
RE:
SALEM GENERATING STATION, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 By letter dated August 3, 1987, Public Service Electric & Gas (PSE&G) requested an amendment (LCR 87-12) to the Operating License (OL) for the Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 which would extend the duration of the license to forty (40) years from the date of issuance of the operating licenses.
Currently, the OLs expire 40 years from issuance of the construction permit (September 25, 1968). The amendment will extend Salem Unit Nos. 1 and 2 operating licenses to August 13, 2016 and April 20, 2020 respectively.
The staff has reviewed your submittal and based upon this review we find additional information is required to address the environmental impacts of the extended operating licenses. The information supporting your amendment request should address (using current data) the impacts of the additional period of operation of the Salem Units and project whether it will result in greater impacts than those predicted by your Environmental Report (ER), Supplemental ER, and the staff's Final Environmental Statement (FES), respectively. The enclosure contains a list based on the environmental areas addressed in the Salem FES which should be updated.
The staff has also determined that additional information is required in addressing certain technical areas.
One issue of concern is meeting the Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) screening criterion at the expiration of the proposed license extension. The PTS Rule (10 CFR 50.61) establishes screening criteria for the reference temperature for PTS events (RTQIS).
The staff has reviewed your January 20, 1986 submittal (required by 10 CFR 50.61) entitled "Fracture Toughness Requirements For Protection Against Pressurized Thermal Shock Events" (C. McNeill to S. Varga).
Consequently, we request confirmation of the data concerning the reported RT values based on 32 effective full power years (EFPY) of operation; espec~A~ly 9 Salem Unit 1 material #82402-1, since the 267°F value is approaching the 270°F screening criterion. It should be noted that the instrumentation uncertainties that were removed from the heat-up and cooldown curves analysis (LCR 88-14) and subsequent Amendment 108 and 86 to DPR-70 and DPR-75 may alter the analysis performed for your response to the PTS rule.
