It presents only the observed results of measurements and analyses required to be performed by the above agencies.

The choice of the measurement devices and analytical methods are controlled by the EPA and the NJDEP, not by the company, and there are limitations on the accuracy of such measurement devices and analytical techniques even when used and maintained as required.

Accordingly, this report is not intended as an assertion that any instrument has measured, or that any reading or analytical result represents the true value with absolute accuracy, nor is it an endorsement of the suitability of any analytical or measurement procedure.

If you have any questions concerning this report, please feel free to contact Mark Pyle (856) 339-2331.Sincere CajrJ. F/Vc~ke r Site Vice President

-Salem Attachment (1 Addendum)C Executive Director, DRBC USNRC -Docket numbers 50-272 & 50-311 EXPLANATION OF CONDITIONS February 2012 The following explanations are included to clarify possible deviation from permit conditions.

General -The columns labeled "No. Ex" on the enclosed DMR tabulate the number of daily discharge values outside the indicated limits.Data reporting and accuracy reflect the working environment, the design capabilities and reliability of the monitoring instruments and operating equipment.

Deviations from required sampling, analysis monitoring and reporting methods and periodicities are noted on the respective transmittal sheet.Results reported on the Discharge Monitoring Report forms are consistent with permit limits, data supplied from contract laboratories, the December 2007 revision of the NJDEP DMR Instruction Manual and specific guidance from DEP personnel.

EXPLANATION OF ADDENDUM February 2012 The following addendum is to be included in the February 2012 DMR report sent March 23, due to the inadvertent deletion of the dye test report from the envelope prior to mailing.ATTACHMENT:

SUBJECT:

DETERMINATION OF CIRCULATING WATER FLOW AT SALEM GENERATING STATION UNIT 1 CONDUCTED BY: Victor Simpson Sr. Test Engineer, Maplewood Testing Services

SUMMARY

The Mechanical Division of Maplewood Testing Services conducted a series of test runs at Salem Unit No. I to determine the capacities of the circulating water pumps shown in the table below.Work was performed under SAP work orders: 30201064, 30201175, 30201161, 30202268, 30201065, 30201066 Final results are as follows:

SUMMARY

(Cont'd)For reporting purposes, shown below is the data pertinent to the injection of Rhodamine WT dye released to the river during testing. Testing is complete at this station.RECORD OF RHODAMINE WT DYE INJECTION Test Pump Injection Pure Number of Total Effluent Date No. Time Dye Pumps in System Concentration Injected Service Flow (start) (stop) (ml) (1000 gpm) (ppb)02/0212012 11A 1455 1513 24.43 6 1110.0 0.32 02/02/2012 11B 1420 1441 28.48 6 1110.0 0.32 02/0212012 12A 1344 1404 27.00 6 1110,0 0.32 02/02/2012 12B 1622 1642 27.32 6 1110.0 0.33 02/02/2012 13A 1053 1112 25.65 61 1110.0 0.32 02/02/2012 13B 10005 1026 28.48 6 1110.0 0.32_ _ __ _ __ II TEST METHOD The circulating water flow rate was determined by fluorometry using MTS Mechanical Division Work Instruction TPG-19 Rev. 12 "Water Flow Using The Turner Fluorometer".

Rhodamine WT dye was injected into the bell mouth of each pump using 1/2 inc PVC pipe with a carrier flow of screen wash water at 3 gallons per minute.The dye was injected at a known rate using a peristaltic pump and a class A burette to measure rate. The diluted sample was retrieved and monitored by taking a sample from the inlet water box piping. The ratio of the injected concentration to the sample concentration multiplied by the injection flow rate yielded the circulator flow rate.The total static head was obtained by measuring the pump suction head in feet from elevation William G. Biggs Technical Analyst Salem Chemistry

After correcting for elevation, the total pump head was calculated as the pump discharge head minus the pump suction head.Bruce P. Hicks Sr. Supervising Test Engineer MTS Mechanical Division C S. Rund
