License Amendment Request - Deletion of Facility Operating License Conditions Related to Decommissioning Trust Provisions and License Transfer

Reference:

1.

NRC Final Rule for Decommissioning Trust Provisions (67 FR 78332),

published December 24, 2002 In accordance with 10 CFR 50.90, PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG) hereby requests amendments to Renewed Facility Operating License (FOL) Nos. DPR-70 and DPR-75 for Salem Generating Station Units 1 & 2 respectively and FOL No. NPF-57 for Hope Creek Generating Station. In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91 (b)(1 ), a copy of this request for amendment has been sent to the State of New Jersey.

The proposed amendment revises the operating licenses for the above plants to delete certain license conditions which impose specific requirements on the decommissioning trust agreement, on the basis that upon approval of this amendment, the provisions of 10 CFR

50. 75(h) that specify the regulatory requirements for decommissioning trust funds will apply to PSEG Nuclear. The option to delete license conditions relating to the terms and conditions of decommissioning trust fund agreements and, instead, conform to the 10 CFR 50. 75(h) regulations adopted in 2002 (Reference 1) is specifically contemplated by the provisions of 10 CFR 50. 75(h)(5) and the generic finding of no significant hazards consideration in 10 CFR
50. 75(h)(4).

LR-N19-0064 Page 2 10 CFR 50.90 The proposed amendment also removes legacy financial requirements associated with the license transfer from PSE&G to PSEG Nuclear relative to maintaining available funding for an extended shutdown. This FOL requirement is a legacy requirement from the license transfer and is not required to ensure PSEG Nuclear's financial qualifications to cover estimated operating costs for the period of the licenses.

Exelon Generation Company (EGC) is a co-owner of SGS and, as such, certain license conditions being deleted as part this license amendment request specifically apply to EGC.

PSEG has obtained formal concurrence from EGC for deletion of these license conditions.

The enclosure to this letter provides a detailed description and evaluation of the proposed changes.

Attachments 1 and 2 provide markups of the proposed changes to the affected pages of the FOLs for Salem Unit -1 and Salem Unit -2 respectively. provides a markup of the proposed changes to the affected pages of the FOL for Hope Creek Generating Station PSEG requests approval of this LAR in accordance with standard NRC approval process and schedule. Once approved, the amendment will be implemented within 60 days from the date of issuance.

SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION LAR 51 9-04 LAR H 1 9-04 This license amendment request proposes to delete conditions which impose specific requirements related to the decommissioning trust agreement from the Salem Generating Station (SGS) Units 1 & 2 and Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS) Renewed Facility Operating Licenses (FOLs) and license conditions which impose financial requirements associated with the prior transfer of licenses from Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) to PSEG Nuclear LLC.

Deletion of the license conditions associated with the decommissioning trust agreements is proposed on the basis that PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG) has elected to subject its decommissioning trust agreements to the regulatory requirements for decommissioning trust funds that are specified in 10 CFR 50. 75(h). The option to delete license conditions relating to the terms and conditions of decommissioning trust fund agreements and, instead, conform to the 10 CFR 50. 75(h) regulations adopted in 2002 (Reference 1 ), is consistent with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) stated intent in the Final Rule for Decommissioning Trust Provisions published in the Federal Register (67 FR 78332, 68 FR 65388) and is specifically contemplated by the provisions of 10 CFR 50. 75(h)(5), and the generic finding of no significant hazards consideration in 10 CFR 50;75(h)(4).

Based on the existing license conditions and pursuant to the terms of 10 CFR 50.75(h)(5), the requirements in 10 CFR 50. 75(h)(1) through h(3) are currently not applicable to SGS Units 1 & 2 and HCGS. Therefore, by deleting the specific license conditions as contemplated by the generic finding of no significant hazards consideration in 10 CFR 50.75(h)(4), the new terms and conditions of the decommissioning trust agreement will conform with and be subject to the NRC's regulations in 10 CFR 50. 75(h)(1) through (h)(3).

The proposed deletion of the license conditions associated with commitments of PSEG Power or its parent companies to fund an extended plant shutdown are based on the legacy nature of the requirement stemming from the transition of PSEG Nuclear from a traditional utility to a merchant generator during deregulation in the late 1990's. The license conditions are not required to ensure PSEG Nuclear's financial qualifications to cover estimated operating costs for the period of the licenses.

2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION The current License Conditions pertaining to Provisions for the Decommissioning Trust Fund and commitments to fund an extended plant shutdown contained in the SGS-1, SGS-2 and HCGS FOLs are identified below. Note that License Condition 2.C.12 for SGS-1 and License Condition 2.C.28 for SGS-2 pertain to restrictions associated with Exelon Generation Company who is a co-owner of SGS. These License Conditions are not affected by this LAR.

2.1 Current SGS-1 License Requirements License Conditions 2.C.11.a, 2.C.11.b, 2.C.13, 2.C.14 and 2.C.15 of the SGS-1 Amended FOL currently include the following requirements for the decommissioning trust funds. License Condition 2.C.11.c of the SGS-1 Amended FOL is associated with funding requirements for an extended plant shutdown:

LR-N 1 9-0064 2.4 Reason for the Proposed Change LAR 5 1 9-04 LAR H 1 9-04 The requested amendment would delete the SGS-1 License Conditions 2.C.11.a, 2.C.11.b, 2.C.13, 2.C.14 and 2.C.15; delete SGS-2 License Conditions 2.C.27.a, 2.C.27.b, 2.C.29, 2.C.30 and 2.C.31; and delete HCGS License Conditions 2.C.15.a and 2.C.15.b from their respective FOLs since they are addressed in the regulations. These license conditions were established during the time of license transfer from PSE&G to PSEG Nuclear LLC during deregulation of the electric power industry in the late 1990's.

Rulemaking to codify the decommissioning funding requirements covered by the subject license conditions was in its early stages during this timeframe.

The requested amendment would delete SGS-1-License Condition 2.C.11.c, SGS-2 License Condition 2.C.27.c and HCGS License Condition 2.C.15.c. from their respective FOLs because they are no longer required to ensure PSEG Nuclear's financial qualifications to cover estimated operating costs for the period of the licenses.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

3.1 License Conditions Common to Salem Generating Station and Hope Creek Generating Station Associated With the Decommissioning Trust Fund The Table below summarizes the manner in which the specific requirements in License Conditions common to SGS and HCGS (described in Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 above) requested for deletion are addressed in the regulations.

LR-N 1 9-0064 LAR 51 9-04 LAR H 1 9-04 3.2 License Conditions Common to Salem Generating Station and Hope Creek Generating Station Associated With Financial Commitments of PSEG Power or Parent Companies The requested amendment would delete SGS-1 License Condition 2.C.11.c, SGS-2 License Condition 2.C.27.c and HCGS License Condition 2.C.15.c. from their respective FOLs. The wording is common in all three License Conditions:

PSEG Nuclear LLC shall not take any action that would cause PSEG Power LLC or its parent companies to void, cancel, or diminish the commitment to fund an extended plant shutdown as represented in the application for approval of the transfer of this license from PSE&G to PSEG Nuclear LLC. (Deleted)

These license conditions were included in the NRC orders approving the license transfers from PSE&G to PSEG Nuclear to ensure sufficient funding was committed to the new licensee. In an October 22, 1999 letter to the NRC, PSE&G stated that, while PSEG Power would not maintain a specific cash reserve or other segregated account to fund an extended (i.e., 6 month) shutdown, PSEG Power would have the ability to fund such a shutdown given: 1) PSEG Power's proposed capitalization and assets; and 2) the expected revenue streams that will exist independent of a unit shutdown, from PSEG Power's diverse and extensive generating assets (fossil and nuclear). Although the NRC staff concluded that PSEG Power's projected operating revenue would provide a sufficient source of funds for PSEG Nuclear to meet its ongoing operating expenses, the orders approving the license transfers were conditioned to require that "PSEG Nuclear shall not take any action that would cause PSEG Power or its parent companies to void, cancel, or diminish the commitment to fund an extended plant shutdown as represented in the application for approval of the transfer of the respective license for each of the five units."

These license conditions were established based on the uncertainty surrounding the projected finances of PSEG Power, the parent of PSEG Nuclear, as it entered into the merchant generation business model as a part of deregulation of New Jersey's electric power market in the late 1990's. As such, the license conditions are a legacy issue from the time of the license transfers. The license conditions are no longer necessary based on the following considerations:

PSEG Power was established with capitalization to support a credit rating of at least BBB from widely-accepted rating organizations, and has retained an "investment-grade" rating since its establishment.

PSEG Nuclear and PSEG Power are now "established entities" within the working definition provided in NUREG-1577, Rev. 1, "Standard Review Plan on Power Reactor Licensee Financial Qualifications and Decommissioning Funding Assurance." PSEG Nuclear has an established and proven record of more than five years of managing and owning nuclear power plants. PSEG Power has an established record of more than five years of raising and managing capital required to fund nuclear power plants' capital additions, and operating expenses.

Financial reporting relative to PSEG Nuclear occurs through PSEG Power. Statements of cash flows for PSEG Power are supplied under existing reporting requirements to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

LR-N1 9-0064 LAR 5 1 9-04 LAR H 1 9-04 The financial decision to fund an extended plant shutdown, versus permanent cessation of operations, for any of the operating units would be determined based on the nature of the extended shutdown and on other factors that exist at the time.

Deletion of this license condition does not affect the regulatory requirements to provide financial assurance for decommissioning.

4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

4.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration Analysis LAR 5 1 9-04 LAR H 1 9-04 The proposed changes do no more than delete specific license conditions relating to the terms and conditions of decommissioning trust agreements and license transfer commitments associated with funding extended plant shutdowns. In 10 CFR 50. 75(h)(4), the NRC (Commission) determined that such an amendment does not normally involve any significant hazards consideration:

(4) Unless otherwise determined by the Commission with regard to a specific application, the Commission has determined that any amendment to the license of a utilization facility that does no more than delete specific license conditions relating to the terms and conditions of decommissioning trust agreements involves "no significant hazards consideration."

The requested changes are consistent with the type of license amendment permitted in 10 CFR 50.75(h)(4).

The proposed deletion of the license conditions relative to commitment to funding an extended plant shutdown does not alter any plant system, structure or component nor does it alter any requirement relative to plant operations. The propose change eliminates a legacy concern from the time of license transfer between PSE&G and PSEG Nuclear LLC that is no longer warranted and hence does not involve any significant hazard.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.92, PSEG has reviewed the proposed changes and concludes that the changes satisfy the criteria in 10 CFR 50.92(c) and 10 CFR 50.75(h)(4), and as such, the proposed changes do not involve a significant hazards consideration. The criteria in 10 CFR 50.92(c) require that operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The discussion below addresses each criterion and demonstrates that the proposed amendment does not constitute a significant hazard.

1. Do the proposed amendments involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The requested changes delete License Conditions which pertain to the decommissioning trust funds for Salem Generating Station (SGS) and Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS) and to funding an extended plant shutdown.

These requests involve changes that are administrative in nature. No actual plant equipment or accident analyses will be affected by the proposed changes.

Therefore, the proposed amendments do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

1 9 of 21

LR-N1 9-0064 LAR 5 1 9-04 LAR H 1 9-04

2. Do the proposed amendments create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

This request involves administrative changes to the Renewed Facility Operating Licenses (FOLs) of SGS Units 1 and 2 and HCGS relating to the terms and conditions of the decommissioning trust agreements and to funding an extended plant shutdown.

The proposed changes will be consistent with the NRC's regulations at 10 CFR 50.75(h).

No actual plant equipment or accident analyses will be affected by the proposed changes and no failure modes not bounded by previously evaluated accidents will be created.

Therefore, the proposed amendments do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.

3. Do the proposed amendments involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No.

This request involves administrative changes to the SGS Units 1 and 2 and HCGS FOLs that will be consistent with the NRC's regulations set forth in 10 CFR 50. 75(h).

The request also involves removal of extended shutdown funding requirements for both stations that are historical in nature and are no longer warranted.

The changes being proposed are administrative in nature. Margins of safety are associated with confidence in the ability of the fission product barriers to limit the level of potential dose to the public. No actual plant equipment or accident analyses will be affected by the proposed change. Additionally, the proposed changes will not relax any criteria used to establish safety limits, will not relax any safety systems settings, nor will they relax the bases for any limiting conditions of operation.

Therefore, the proposed amendments do not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.

Based on the above, PSEG concludes that the proposed amendments present no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.

4.2 Precedent The proposed changes are consistent with those previously approved for Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (Reference 2), Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (Reference 3), and Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2 (Reference 4) 20 of 21

LR-N1 9-0064 4.3 Conclusion LAR 51 9-04 LAR H 1 9-04 Based on the considerations discussed above: ( 1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner; (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations; and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

The proposed amendments are confined to (i) changes to surety, insurance, and/or indemnity requirements, or (ii} changes to recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures or requirements. Accordingly, the proposed amendments meet the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b),

no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendments.
