Acceptance Review - Salem 1 and 2 - Permanent Extension of Type A and Type C Containment Leak Rate Test Frequencies (EPID: L-2023-LLA-0094)

Mr. Thomas, By letter dated June 23, 2023 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML23174A186), Public Service Enterprise Group Nuclear LCC (PSEG, the licensee) submitted a license amendment to revise the Salem Unit 1 and 2 Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.4.f, Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program, by replacing the reference to Regulatory Guide 1.163 with a reference to Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI)

Report NEI 94-01, Revision 3-A and the conditions and limitations specified in NEI 94-01, Revision 2-A.

The NRC staff has reviewed your application and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. Given the lesser scope and depth of the acceptance review as compared to the detailed technical review, there may be instances in which issues that impact the NRC staffs ability to complete the detailed technical review are identified despite completion of an adequate acceptance review. If additional information is needed, you will be advised by separate correspondence.

The NRC staff has estimated that this licensing request will take approximately 420 hours0.00486 days <br />0.117 hours <br />6.944444e-4 weeks <br />1.5981e-4 months <br /> to complete. The NRC staff expect to complete this review by July 20, 2024, 12 months from the date of this acceptance. If there are emergent complexities or challenges in our review that would cause changes to the initial forecasted completion date or significant changes in the forecasted hours, the reasons for the changes, along with the new estimates, will be communicated during the routine interactions with the assigned project manager.

These estimates are based on the NRC staffs initial review of the application and they could change, due to several factors including requests for additional information, unanticipated addition of scope to the review, and review by NRC advisory committees or hearing-related activities. Additional delay may occur if the submittal is provided to the NRC in advance or in parallel with industry program initiatives or pilot applications.

If you have any question, please contact me, James Kim, at James.Kim@nrc.gov or 301-415-4125.
