UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION I 475 ALLENDALE ROAD KING OF PRUSSIA. PA 19406-1415 0ctober 31, 2011 Thomas P. Joyce President and Chief Nuclear Otficer PSEG Nuclear LLC - N09 P. O. Box 236 Hancocks Bridge, NJ 08038

SUBJECT:

SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NoTIFICATIoN OF CONDUCT OF A TRIENNIAL FIRE PROTECTION BASELTNE INSPECTION

Dear Mr. Joyce:

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff will conduct a triennial fire protection baseline inspection at Sllem Nuclear Generaiing Station, Units 1 and 2, in January, 2012. The inspection team will be led by Mr. Larry Scnott from the NRC Region I office. The team will be composed of personnelfrom the NRb Region I gffice The inspection will be conducted in accordance with NRC lnspection Procedure 71111.05T, the NRC's baseline fire protection inspection procedure.

The schedule for the inspection is as follows:

r lnformation Gathering Visit - Week of January 2,2012

. On-site Inspection - Weeks of January 23 and February 6,2A12 The purposes of the information gathering visit are to obtain information and documentation needed to support the inspection, to become familiar with the station fire protection programs, fire protection features, post-fire safe shutdown capabilities, plant layout, mitigating stralegies to address Section 8.5.b of NRC Order EA-02-026, "Order for Interim Safeguards and Security Compensatory Measures," dated February 25,2002, and Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.54(hhX2); and, as necessary, obtain plant specific site access training and badging for unescorted site access.

An initial list of the documents the team will review during the conduct of the inspection are listed in Enclosures 1 and 2. The team leader will contact you with any additional specific document requests prior to the information gathering visit.

During the information gathering visit, the team will also discuss the following inspection support administrative details: office space size and location; specific documents re[uested to be made available to the team in their office spaces; arrangements for reactor site access (including radiation protection training, security, safety, and fitness for duty requirements); and the availability of knowledgeable plant engineering and licensing organization personnel to serve as points of contact during the inspection.

T. Joyce We request that during the on-site inspection week you ensure that copies of analyses, evaluations or documentation regarding the implementation and maintenance of the station fire protection program, including post-fire safe shutdown capability, be readily accessible to the team for their review. Of specific interest for the fire protection portion of the inspection are those documents which establish that your fire protection program satisfies NRC regulatory requirements and conforms to applicable NRC and industry fire protection guidance. For the B.5.b portion of the inspection, those documents implementing your mitigating strategies and demonstrating the management of your commitments for the strategies are of specific interest.

Also, personnel should be available at the site during the inspection who are knowledgeable regarding those plant systems required to achieve and maintain safe shutdown conditions from inside and outside the control room including the electrical aspects of the relevant post-fire safe shutdown analyses, reactor plant fire protection systems and features, and the station fire protection program and its implementation.

This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the Papenrork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, control number 3150-001 1. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a request for information or an information collection requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.

Your cooperation and support during this inspection will be appreciated. lf you have questions concerning this inspection, or the inspection team's information or logistical needs, please contact Larry Scholl, the team leader, in the Region I office at (610) 337-5144.
