SUBJECT:

HOPE CREEK GEI\IERATING STATION - ACCEPTANCE REVIEW REGARDING EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATOR ALLOWED OUTAGE TIME EXTENSION AMENDMENT REQUEST (TAC NO. ME3597)

Dear Mr. Joyce:

By letter dated March 29, 2010 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML100900458), PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG) submitted a license amendment request for Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS). The proposed amendment would revise the HCGS Technical Specifications to extend the Allowed Outage Time for the "A" and "B" Emergency Diesel Generators from 72 hours3 days <br />0.429 weeks <br />0.0986 months <br /> to 14 days. The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this amendment request. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended 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 amendment to the license (including the technical specifications) 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.

By letter dated May 4,2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML101200075), the NRC staff notified PSEG of specific supplemental information that needed to be submitted to enable the staff to begin its detailed technical review. By letter dated May 28, 2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML101590514), PSEG provided the supplemental information.

The NRC staff has reviewed the supplemental information and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the staff to proceed with its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment request 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 staff's ability to complete the detailed technical review are identified despite completion of an adequate acceptance review. You will be advised of any further information needed to support the NRC staff's detailed technical review by separate correspondence.
