Attention: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 Gentlemen:

Subject:
Hope Creek Generating Station Docket No. 50-354 Amendment to the Facility Operating License License Change Request 94-09
[
r The subject request was submitted to the NRC by Public Service i
Electric and Gas on November 30, 1994.
The request proposes to remove tables containing instrument response times for Emergency
~
Core Cooling Sytems, the Reactor Protection Systems, and Isolation Systems from the Technical Specifications.
These tables are to be i
relocated to the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report. NRC Generic Letter 93-08 provides specific guidance on this relocation of requirements.
j The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Nuclear Engineering (BNE) reviewed the request in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.91(b), and we have the following
~
comment.
The Hope Creek Technical Specifications define the terms "ECCS Response Time,"" Reactor Protection System Response Time," and
" Isolation System Response Time." The tables that are proposed to l
be deleted from the Technical Specifications contain footnotes that clarify the way that several specific response times are to be measured. These footnotes appear to provide flexibility in certain response time tests that the definition would not allow.
It is noted that a portion of one footnote related to radiation moniters l
was incorporated elsewhere into the Technical Specification.
i However, if PSE&G intends to continue to follow the information in the ren.ainder of the footnotes, then all the footnotes should be
]
incorporated elsewhere into the Technical Specification rather than being deleted.
