UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION I 2100 RENAISSANCE BOULEVARD, SUITE 100 KING OF PRUSSIA, PA 19406

-2713 February 2 8, 2018 Mr. Peter P. Sena, III President and Chief Nuclear Officer PSEG Nuclear LLC

- N09 P.O. Box 236 Hancocks Bridge, NJ 08038

SUBJECT: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION , UNIT S 1 AND 2 (REPORT S 05000 272/2017006 , 05000311/2017006, 05000272/2017402 , 05000311/2017402, 05000272/2017501

, AND 05000311/2017501

)

Dear Mr. Sena:

The NRC has completed its end

-of-cycle performance assessment of Salem Nuclear Generating Station

, Unit s 1 & 2 (Salem), reviewing performance indicators (PIs), inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017. This letter informs you of the NRC's assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility. The NRC concluded that overall performance at your facility preserved public health and safety.

The NRC determined the performance at Salem Unit 1 at the end of the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column (Column 1) of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix in Inspection Manual Chapter 0305, "Operating Reactor Assessment Program," because all inspection findings had very low safety significance (i.e., Green), and all PIs were within the expected range (i.e., Green). Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at Salem Unit 1.

As of October 24, 2017 , Salem Unit 2 transitioned to the Licensee Response Column (Column 1) after the successful completion of a supplemental inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95001, "Supplemental Inspection for One or Two White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area," on September 15, 2017. The results of this inspection are documented in NRC Supplemental IR 05000 311/20170 11 (ML17297A437) dated October 24 , 2017. Therefore, the NRC also plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at Salem Unit 2.

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2019. This updated inspection plan now includes planned security inspections which were formerly transmitted under separate correspondence. The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the last twelve months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes. In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading

-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Please contact Fred Bower at (610) 337-5200 with any questions you have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/RA/ David L. Pelton, Acting Director Division of Reactor Projects Docket No s. 50-272 and 50
