UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 November 21, 2016 Mr. Peter P. Sena, Ill President and Chief Nuclear Officer PSEG Nuclear LLC - N09 P.O. Box 236 Hancocks Bridge, NJ 08038
SUBJECT:
HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION AND SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 - REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST TO REMOVE CERTAIN TRAINING REQUIREMENTS (CAC NOS. MF8477, MF8478, AND MF8479)
Dear Mr. Sena:
By letter dated October 17, 2016 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML16291A318), PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG or the licensee) submitted a license amendment request to revise the Hope Creek Generating Station (Hope Creek) and Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, Technical Specifications (TSs) by removing certain training program requirements. Specifically, the amendments would remove TS requirements that are redundant to, or superseded by, the requirements contained in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 55, "Operators' Licenses," and 10 CFR Section 50.120, "Training and qualification of nuclear power plan personnel."
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has reviewed the licensee's application and, based upon this review, determined that additional information is needed to complete our review. On November 16, 2016, a draft of the question was sent to Mr. Paul Duke of your staff to ensure that the question was understandable, the regulatory basis for the question was clear, and to determine if the information was previously docketed. On November 21, 2016, a teleconference was held to clarify the question. Mr. Duke indicated that PSEG will submit a response within 30 days of the date of the call.

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST REGARDING REMOVAL OF CERTAIN TRAINING REQUIREMENTS PSEG NUCLEAR LLC HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION DOCKET NO. 50-354 By letter dated October 17, 2016 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML16291A318), PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG or the licensee) submitted a license amendment request (LAA) to revise the Hope Creek Generating Station (Hope Creek) and Salem Nuclear Generating Station (Salem), Unit Nos. 1 and 2, Technical Specifications (TSs) by removing certain training program requirements. Specifically, the amendments would remove TS requirements that are redundant to, or superseded by, the requirements contained in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 55, "Operators' Licenses," and 10 CFR Section 50.120, "Training and qualification of nuclear power plan personnel."
For Hope Creek, this request would remove the requirements for conducting retraining for individuals identified in Section 5.5 of ANSl/ANS-3.1-1981, "Selection, Qualification and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants." 1 Section 5.5 of ANSl/ANS-3.1-1981 states, in part, that, "Mechanisms shall be established to ensure that individuals in the operating organization performing safety related functions remain cognizant of changes to the facility, procedures, governmental regulations, and quality assurance requirements .... " Quality Assurance personnel are listed in Section 4.4.5 of ANSI/ANS-3.1-1981 as requiring training consistent with other professional technical personnel which are listed in 10 CFR Section 50.120. By deleting TS Section 6.4.1, it would appear that the requirement to maintain a retraining and replacement training program for quality assurance personnel would also be deleted.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has reviewed the application and, based upon this review, determined that the following additional information is needed to complete our review:
- 1. The LAR technical analysis states that the TS requirements are redundant to, or superseded by, 10 CFR Part 55 and 10 CFR Section 50.120. Discuss the method and guidance documents that would be used regarding training of quality assurance personnel at Hope Creek.
1 Salem's TSs reference ANSI N18.1-1971, "Selection and Training of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel."
