SUBJECT:
HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION - REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING REQUEST FOR EXTENDED POWER UPRATE (TAC NO. MD3002)
Dear Mr. Levis:
By letter dated September 18, 2006, as supplemented on October 10 and October 20, 2006; February 14, February 16, February 28, March 13, April 18, April 30, May 10, May 18, June 22, and August 3, 2007, PSEG Nuclear, LLC submitted an amendment request for an extended power uprate for Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station. The proposed amendment would increase the authorized maximum power level by approximately 15 percent, from 3339 megawatts thermal (MWt) to 3840 MWt.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has been reviewing the submittal and has determined that additional information is needed to complete its review. The specific questions are found in the enclosed request for additional information. The questions were sent by e-mail to you to ensure that the questions were understandable, the regulatory basis was clear and to determine if the information was previously docketed.

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGES FOR EXTENDED POWER UPRATE HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION DOCKET NO. 50-354 By letter dated September 18, 2006, as supplemented on October 10 and October 20, 2006; February 14, February 16, February 28, March 13, April 18, April 30, May 10, May 18, June 22, and August 3, 2007, PSEG Nuclear, LLC submitted an amendment request for an extended power uprate for Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff is reviewing your submittal and has determined that additional information is needed to complete its review. The specific information requested is addressed below.
7 Balance of Plant Branch (SBPB) 7-19 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, Section 9.1.3.2.3 refers to Seismic Category I emergency fuel pool water makeup from station service water system (SSWS) loop A and a redundant makeup line from SSWS loop B. In addition, a fire hose fill connection located in the auxiliary building ties into the makeup line from SSWS loops A and B and provides supplementary makeup water.
Power Uprate Safety Analysis Report, Section 6.3.1 states that three Seismic Category I emergency makeup sources, the low pressure coolant injection, emergency fire makeup system, and the service water system, have a makeup capability greater than 130 gallons per minute.
The two sources above are not consistent and clear. Please clarify the source, makeup capability and seismic category of each emergency fuel pool water makeup source to the spent fuel pool.
