Mr~ Karl Kniel, Light Water Rea Gentlemen:

DOCKET NO. 50-272 SALEM GENERATING STATION UNIT NO. 1 September 7, 1976 FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT DPR-70

.,,..,,,-*,-*- ***-**,.,,.-"7°'"'";':::>..,0.,,

l it

We have reviewed the attachment to license No. DPR-70 which identi-fies certain preoperational tests, startup tests, and other items which were to be deferred at the time of core load but to be satis-factorily completed prior to proceeding to certain specified oper-ational modes.

The attachment, as written, makes it impossible to accomplish certain tests required to be complete prior to proceed-ing from Operational Mode 4 (hot shutdown) to Mode 3 (hot standby) because of coolant temperature limitations in Mode 4.

We hereby request that Attachment 1 to the license be amended to allow startup *to proceed in an orderly fashion.

The required changes are enclosed for your consideration.

The requested changes involve the order of test completion for five (5) tests and the sequence of testing the snubbers.

It deletes the test requirement for snubbers on the feedwater system and for Maintenance Proce-dures required for operation since these are outside the scope of this license.

The changes made in this Amendment do not alter the evaluations and determinations made by PSE&G that there will be no adverse effect on the health and safety of the public or station personnel as the result of deferral of these items.
