For Resolution of Fukushima Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.3: Seismic," dated June 2012 On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a request for information (Reference

1) to PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG), including a request to perform seismic walkdowns using NRC-endorsed methodology.

By letter dated November 26, 2012 (Reference 2), PSEG responded to the information request for Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS), utilizing the NRC-endorsed walkdown guidance in EPRI Technical Report 1025286 (Reference 3).Reference 2 included a commitment for PSEG to submit an updated seismic walkdown report for HCGS. This was due to inaccessibility of areas and components at the time of the original walkdowns.

Enclosure 1 provides the updated HCGS seismic walkdown report which includes P0 IO ATTACHMENTS OR ENCLOSURES TO THIS LETTER CONTAIN INFORMATION TO BE WITHHELD FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE PURSUANT TO 10 CFR 2.390 FEB 07 2014 10 CFR 50.54(f)Page 2 LR-N14-0024 the results of walkdowns performed during HCGS Refueling Outage 18 (H1 R1 8), and completes the regulatory commitment contained in Reference 2.Table 6-1 of Enclosure 1 provides a summary of potentially adverse seismic conditions that were identified during the walkdowns and entered into PSEG's Corrective Action Program (CAP). These CAP items have either been corrected or determined to be acceptable "as-is." The walkdowns performed during H1R18 in support of the revised walkdown report did not identify any new potentially adverse seismic conditions.
