Supplement to License Amendment Request: Revise Reactor Trip System Instrumentation, Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System Instrumentation, Main Steam Isolation Valves and Add Main Feedwater Isolation Technical Specification References 1. PSEG letter to NRC, "License Amendment Request: Revise Reactor Trip System Instrumentation, Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System Instrumentation, Main Steam Isolation Valves and Add Main Feedwater Isolation Technical Specification," dated June 29, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18180A291)

In the Reference 1 letter, PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG) submitted a license amendment request for Salem Nuclear Generating Station (Salem), Units 1 and 2. The proposed amendment will revise Salem Unit 1 and Unit 2 Technical Specification (TS) 3/4.3.1, "Reactor Trip System Instrumentation," 3/4.3.2, "Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System Instrumentation,"

3/4.7.1.5, "Main Steam Line Isolation Valves," and add a new TS for main feedwater isolation to better align the TS with the design basis analyses and the design of the instrumentation.

Subsequent to this submittal, PSEG identified that the TS mark-up page provided for Unit 1 TS page 3/4 3-21, Unit 1 TS page 3/4 3-34, Unit 2 TS page 3/4 3-22 and TS page 3/4 3-37 did not align with the proposed change described in Section 2.4 of Enclosure 1 of Reference 1. provides the corrected TS mark-up pages.

PSEG has determined that the information provided in this submittal does not alter the conclusions reached in the 10 CFR 50.92 no significant hazards determination previously submitted. In addition, the information provided in this submittal does not affect the bases for concluding that neither an environmental impact statement nor an environmental assessment needs to be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91, a copy of this application, with attachments, is being provided to the designated State of New Jersey Official.

LR-N18-0113 10 CFR 50.90 Page 2 There are no regulatory commitments contained in this letter.

If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Mr. Brian Thomas at 856-339-2022.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

The automatic actuation logic includes two redundant solenoid operated vent valves for each Main Steam Isolation Valve (MSIV}. Vent valves associated with an inoperable MSIV may be isolated provided that the MSIV is closed in accordance with actions ofTS 3.7.1.5. One vent valve on any one of the remaining OPERABLE or open MSIVs may be isolated without affecting the function of the automatic actuation logic provided the remaining solenoid vent valves remain OPERABLE. The isolated MSIV vent valve shall be returned to OPERABLE status upon the first entry into MODE 5 following determination that the vent valve is inoperable. For any condition where more than one solenoid vent valve is inoperable for the OPERABLE or open MSIVs, entry into ACTION 20 is required.
