Dear Sir:

On September 8, 1998, the Public Service Electric & Gas (PSE&G) requested a change to the Nuclear Business Unit (NBU) Emergency Plan for the Hope Creek and Salem Generating Stations. In a telephone call on April 1, 1999, NRC requested a clarification in Section 4.0 - Emergency Response Support and Resource, Subsection 2.0 - State

• and County (Local) Government Response. On April 5, 1999 PSE&G submitted the requested changes to pages 4.1 and 4.2 of the Emergency Plan.

Subsequent to the April 5, 1999 submittal, the NRC advised PSE&G of concerns with the revised pages. After discussion with the NRC and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), PSE&G revised the affected pages to address the NRC and FEMA concerns. Attached are revised drafts* of proposed changes to pages 4.1 and 4.2 of the Emergency Plan. The changes made since the September 8, 1998 submittal are contained on page 4.2 and are noted in Italics and underlined.

If you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Mr. Dennis V.

Hassler at 609-'339-1989.

SECTION 4 EMERGENCY RESPONSE SUPPORT AND RESOURCES

1. 0 Local Services Support The local services support to be relied on in the event of an emergency is classified into two general categories: Medical and Fire Protection.

1.1 Medical Support Medical support is provided by the Memorial Hospital .of Saleffi County. The specific resources and capabilities of medical support are provided in Section 13.0 of this Plan.

1.2 Fire Protection Fire protection support is provided for Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations in accordance with station technical specifications. The resources are provided at the request of the Operations Superintendent (OS) of the affected unit or Emergency Duty Officer (EDO). Additionally, local fire companies respond (in accordance with appropriate agreements).

to fires at Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations. While these personnel are onsite they will be under the direction and control of the OS or Control Room Supervisor (CRS) of the affected unit prior to OSC activation and for the OSC Coordinator after the OSC is activated.

2.0 State and County (Local) Government Response For events classified as an Unusual Event, Alert or Site Area Emergency, the contact with the local governments and states is provided through the states. Following this init~al contact, the states will be responsible for assessing the information provided, activating their response organization (as required) notifying the local governments, the U.S. *Coast Guard and the public. If the states cannot be contacted within fifteen minutes, the affected station notifies the local governments (counties) and the U.S. Coast Guard directly.

For events classified as a 'General Emergency, Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations make direct contact with the U.S.

Coast Guard coincident with the initial contact of the States of New Jersey and Delaware. If the states cannot be contacted within fifteen minutes, the affected station notifies the locaJ. governments (counties). Following this initial contact the states, or i f the states could not be contacted the counties, will be responsible for assessing the information provided, activating their response organization (as required), notifying aper.opriate local governments, and the public.

f'ollor,.ring contact by the state, or PSE&G, each county and the U.S. Coast Guard are responsible for sssessing the information provided and activating their response organizations.

The Plan provides the appropriate space and facilities to the principal State and Federal response organizations at the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) . The utility assigns a person to assist the States of New Jersey and Dela1o1are in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding with each State. This allows state response personnel to have immediate access to all station radiological and operational data.

Additionally, PSE&G is prepared to pro~ide iepre~entatives to the state EOCs to assist the state (at their request) in ans~ering questions and contacting the *appropriate utility personnel.

3.0 Federal Response The f~deral response is expected to. consist primarily of representatives from the U.S. Department of Energy (D.S. DOE),

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Com.mission (NRC), and U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). PSE&G provides space in the EOF as required.

Since the federal response (other than NRC) is primarily related to offsite protective actions and radiological assessment, it is implemented at the request of the States of New Jersey and/or* Delaware. The Federal Emergency Management Agency CFEMA) acts as coordinator of the federal response.

Emergency Management from New Jersey and Delaware provides information and assistance to FEMA as required to assist it in coordinating the federal response.
