R. HELLER 609-339-5162 The following items were evaluated in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Federal Regulations 10CFR50.59.

The Station Operations Review Committee has reviewed and concurs with these evaluations.

1. Design Change Packages (DCP) lEC-3505, Pkg. 2 2. Evaluations Radiological Safety "Control Area Emergency Air Conditioning System (EACS system) Condensate Drain Trap Seal" Rev. 0 -This DCP removed the existing Seismic Class 3 Condensate drain line from the Unit 2 EACS, located in the Auxiliary Building, elevation 122' -0", and installed a new Seismic Class 1 Condensate Drain piping with a fillable trap and a Seismic Class 3 site glass. Also this DCP removed two (2) 1" EACS housing drain lines located on the downstream side of the charcoal filter. There is no reduction in the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification because (1) there is no credible event analyzed in Chapter 15 of the UFSAR which can cause an unacceptable environment in the control room since core alterations are currently restricted; (2) fuel movement inside the Fuel Handling Building (FHB) is restricted unless FHB ventilation is operable, and (3) the beyond-design-basis event which might impact the control room (rupture of an ammonium hydroxide tanker) is precluded by procedure. (SORC 96-033) "Radiological Safety Organizational Reporting Structure" (Organizational Change) -The revision changes the structural reporting requirements for Radiological Safety, encompassing the functional areas of emergency preparedness, radiation protection, chemistry, dosimetry and radiological instruments, from Nuclear Operations Support to the Nuclear Training Center. The functions and responsibilities remain the same, although the groups will have different reporting requirements.

General Manager of Nuclear Services are similar in nature, although there is a lesser requirement for time requirement for the director (8 versus I 0 years). This lesser requirement is sufficiently rigorous and exceeds the ANSI standard so the net effect will not diminish quality. The proposed changes do not relate to design criteria, specifications, or operations of systems or components relating to the fuel cladding, Reactor Coolant System (RCS) boundary, or containment, and do not address any margin of safety. Therefore, the proposed changes do not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the bases for any Technical Specification. (SORC 96-095) "Minimum Neutron Count Rate on Source Range Instrumentation" -This change revises Section 4.2.3 .1 reducing the minimum required capability of the neutron sources from providing 2 counts per second to greater than I cps on the source range channels.

The proposed changes will not impact the initial subcritical boration requirements or the capability of the instrumentation to detect changes in core multiplication.

The source range monitors' operability requirements for all affected Modes remain unchanged and are not based on minimal indicated neutron count rate but on the prescribed channel calibrations and functional test. The change does not reduce the requirement that both channels provide continuous visual indication of the neutron flux and core multiplication.

The proposed change does not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. (SORC 96-096) "SCN Service Water System Modifications" -This safety evaluation supports changes to sections of the UFSAR relative to the Salem service water system. These changes are required to address issues raised by problem reports. The changes include corrections to address discrepancies I clarifications determined to be necessary as a result of both internal and external system reviews. The external review

included comments from the NRC during the 5/96 licensing basis audit. The acceptance criteria for postulated design basis accidents affected by the Service Water system define the acceptable margin of safety. This proposal does not affect the design limits of the Service Water system, or design limits of components affected by this system. It is therefore concluded that this proposal will not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. (SORC 96-098)

SUMMARY

-UNIT 1 JULY 1996 SALEMUNITNO.

1 The Unit is in a refueling and Steam Generator replacement outage and remained shutdown for the entire period. According to commitments from PSE&G and a subsequent confirmatory action letter from the NRC, the Unit will remain shutdown pending completion of the following actions:

• Appropriately address long standing equipment reliability and operability issues

• After the work is completed, conduct a restart readiness review to determine for ourselves the ability of the Unit to operate in a safe, event free manner

• After the restart review, meet with the NRC and communicate the results of that review
