l Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) requested by letter dated October 26, 1984, and supplemented November 6, 1984, changes to the I
Technical Specifications for the Salem Generating Station, Units 1 and 2.
e The amendment request consisted of an update to their Nuclear Department organization, SORC responsibilities, membership, and quorum requirements.
Technical Review and Control, Nuclear Safety Review and a clarification of shift composition requirements were also included as a part of the request.
Evaluation and. Sumary The following 9 areas were reviewed for acceptability, and are sumarized below:
1.
Figure 6.2.1 (Corporate Headquarters and Off-site Organization for Management and Technical Support).
This organization has been revised to establish the new positions of Assistant Vice President Nuclear Operations Support, General Manage'r Nuclear Quality Assurance, General Manager Nuclear Safety Review, and Assistant Vice President Nuclear Operations, reporting to the Vice President Nuclear. This change does not delete any technical support provided to the Salem units by the 8505280548 850513 PDR ADOCK 05000272 P

~g previous organization, but reduces the span of control of the Vice President and provides increased management direction to the support of the Salem units. This organization has also been reviewed during the Hope Creek Operating License review and further details can be found in the Hope Creek Safety Evaluation Report (NUREG-1048).
We have reviewed this change and find it meets the guidance of draft NUREG-0731, and the acceptance criteria of Section 13.1.1 of NUREG-0800, the Standard Review Plan, and is acceptable.
2.
Figure 6.2-2 (Facility Organization).
The Licensee has deleted the position of Station Planning Engineer, a discipline that we do not require for the safe op.
.'on of nuclear power plants.
The Licensee has added tc Figure 6.2-2 a Nuclear Fire Protection Supervisor who reports offsite to the Nuclear Fire and Safety Administrator who in turn reports to the Manager-Nuclear Site Protection. The Manager - Nuclear Site Protection is responsible for the fire protection program implementation, a responsibility formerly held by the General Manager Salem Operations.
.e find these changes acceptable as they do not delete the technical W
support we require for the Salem Units 1 and 2, and they meet the acceptance criteria of Section 13.1.2 of NUREG-0800, the Standard Review Plan.
3.
Table 6.2-1 (Minimum Shift Crew Composition)
PSE&G has clarified,, Table 6.2-1 relative to the use of the STA as a
-Senior Licensed Operator on one unit, provided there are two other SR0s on shift and the individual holds a Senior Operator's License.
PSE&G normally operates with three SR0's on shift, one more than we require.
We find this change acceptable as it does not reduce the number of i
Senior Licensed Operators on shift and meets the requirements of 10 CFR -Part.50.54(m).

Environmental Consideration These amendments involve a change in the installation or use of the facilities components located within the restricted areas as defined in 10 CFR 20. The staff has determined that these amendments involve no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Comission has previously issued a proposed finding that these amendments involve no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public coment on such finding. Accordingly, these amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR Sec 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of these amendments.
Conclusion We have concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that:
(1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, and (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Comission's regulations and the issuance of these amendments will not be inimical to the comon defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
