DRAFT DRAFT REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING SALEM GENERATING STATION, UNIT 1 AND 2 DELETION OF CONDITION FOR INOPERABLE CAACS/CREACS ISOLATION DAMPERS DOCKET NUMBERS: 50-272 AND 50-311 (TAC NOS. ME9095 AND ME9096)

By letter dated July 17, 2012, PSEG submitted a license amendment request for Salem Generating Station Units 1 and 2 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12199A426), to revise Technical Specification (TS) 3/4.7.6.1 (Unit 1) and 3/4.7.6 (Unit 2), "Control Room Emergency Air Conditioning System," by removing the separate action for securing an inoperable Control Area Air Conditioning and Control Room Emergency Air Conditioning System isolation damper in the closed position and entering the actions for an inoperable control room envelope boundary.

The NRC staff has reviewed the information submitted by the licensee, and based on this review, determined the following information is required to complete the evaluation.

RAI 1: Salem Unit 1 TS 6.18 and Unit 2 TS 6.17 contain the Control Room Envelope (CRE) Habitability Program. Element "a" of the program requires a definition of the CRE and CRE boundary. The amendment request did not discuss the current definition of the CRE, whether or not the isolation dampers in question are defined as part of the CRE boundary, or whether or not the CRE was being redefined.

Please clarify whether or not the isolation dampers are currently defined as part of the CRE boundary.
