Mr. Jurek,
By letter dated January 31, 2025 (ADAMS Accession No. ML25031A416), PSEG Nuclear LLC submitted a license amendment request for Salem Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 (Salem). The proposed amendment would modify the Salem technical specification (TS) requirements to permit the use of risk-informed completion times in accordance with Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-505, Revision 2, Provide Risk-Informed Extended Completion Times - RITSTF Initiative [Risk-Informed TSTF] 4b (ML18183A493). The amendment would also incorporate TSTF-591, Revise the Risk Informed Completion Time (RICT) Program, (ML22081A224). The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this request. The NRC staff performed the acceptance review to determine if the application has sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review and to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.
Consistent with Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), an application for an amendment to a license must fully describe the changes requested and, following as far as applicable, the form prescribed for original applications. Section 50.34 of 10 CFR addresses the content of technical information required.This section stipulates that the submittal address the design and operating characteristics, unusual or novel design features, and principal safety considerations.
The NRC staff has reviewed your application and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. Given the lesser scope and depth of the acceptance review as compared to the detailed technical review, there may be instances in which issues that impact the NRC staffs ability to complete the detailed technical review are identified despite completion of an adequate acceptance review.If additional information is needed, you will be advised by separate correspondence.
Based on the information provided in the application, the NRC staff has estimated that it will take approximately 2200 hours0.0255 days <br />0.611 hours <br />0.00364 weeks <br />8.371e-4 months <br /> to complete its review of the request.The NRC staff expects to complete this review by March 10, 2026. These estimates are based on the NRC staffs initial review of the application and could change based on several factors, including requests for additional information, unanticipated addition of scope to the review,
and review by NRC advisory committees or hearing-related activities. If emergent complexities or challenges cause changes to the initial forecasted completion date or significant changes in the forecasted hours, the NRC licensing project manager will communicate the reasons for the changes and the new estimates with licensee staff.
Please contact me if you have any questions. A copy of this email communication will be made publicly available in ADAMS.
