Acceptance Review Results: Salem 1 & 2 Revise Inverter AOT TS Actions (L-2018-LLA-0140)

By letter dated May 16, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18136A866), Public Service Enterprise Group Nuclear, LCC (PSEG, the licensee) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for Salem Nuclear Generating Station Units 1 and 2. The proposed LAR would revise TS 3.8.2.1, "A. C. Distribution - Operating," to increase the Vital Instrument Bus (VIB) Inverters allowed outage time (AOT) from 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br /> for the A, B and C inverters to 7 days and from 72 hours3 days <br />0.429 weeks <br />0.0986 months <br /> for the D inverter to 7 days. 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 the proposed amendment 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.

Based on the information provided in your submittal and discussions during the pre-licensing meeting on February 1, 2018, the NRC staff has estimated that this licensing request will take approximately 850 hours35.417 days <br />5.06 weeks <br />1.164 months <br /> to complete. The NRC staff expect to complete this review in approximately 12 months, which is June 2019. If there are emergent complexities or challenges in our review that would cause changes to the initial forecasted completion date or significant changes in the forecasted hours, the reasons for the changes, along with the new estimates, will be communicated during the routine interactions with the assigned project manager.

These estimates are based on the NRC staffs initial review of the application and they could change, due to several factors including requests for additional information, unanticipated addition of scope to the review, and review by NRC advisory committees or hearing-related activities. Additional delay may occur if the submittal is provided to the NRC in advance or in parallel with industry program initiatives or pilot applications.

If you have any question, please contact me, James Kim, at James.Kim@nrc.gov or 301-415-4125.
