D-RA4.2.1-1 PSEG states, "predicted 60-year Salem vessel fluence values satisfy the requirements set forth in Regulator (sic) Guide 1.190-" Please address more specifically how the fluence values satisfy the regulatory intent of RG 1.190:

(a) Has information supporting the fluence calculations supporting this LRA been submitted to the NRC previously? If so, please provide a reference.

Discussion

The applicant stated that previous fluence calculations had not been submitted to the NRC.
