'O PSEG Pubhc SeMce Electnc and Gas Company 60 Park Place Newark N J. 07101 Phone 201430-7000 January 30, 1979 Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C. 20555 Gentlemen:

HOPE CREEK GENERATIhd STATION DOCKET NOS. 50-354 AND 50-355 CODES AND STANDARDS FOR REACTOR COOLANT PRESSURE BOUNDARY EQUIPMENT Pursuant to Section 50.55a (a) (2) (i) and (ii) of 10 CFR Part 50, Public Service Electric and Gas Compa.'y hereby requests authori-zation to use certain components in its Hope Creek Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 which were designed to codes which differ from those specified in Subsections (c) through (f) of 10 CFR 50.55a. The specific components for which authorization is requested are set forth in the table attached hereto.

On February 27, 1970, Public Service Electric and Gas Company filed its construction permit application for Hope Creek, Units 1 and 2. Engineering and Construction schedules at that time were based on expected construction permit issuance in 1971.

Initial engineering design and procurement activity was based on this forecast. The design, fabrication, and testing of components purchased in this period were based on recognized codes c m standards in effect at the time. Since the construc-tion peruite were not issued until November 1974, some of the codes used differ from those now listed in 10 CFR 50.55a Sub-sections (c) through (f). We believe that the costs associated with replacing the ':omponents in the table solely for the purpose of changing the design codes would represent a severe hardship without a compensating increase in quality or safety. Further-more the codes to which the subject equipment and components were designed assure the achievement of an acceptable level of quality and safety.

Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation 1/30/79 In view of the above, Public Service Electric and Gas Company respectfully requests an authorization from the Commission in accordance with Section 50.55a(a) (2) (i) and (ii) of 10 CFR Part 50 to use the codes referenced for the components listed in the attachment to this letter.

Very truly yours,
