NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50–272 and 50–311]

PSEG Nuclear LLC; Notice of Issuance

of Amendment to Facility Operating

License

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (Commission) has issued

Amendment Nos. 243 and 224 to

Facility Operating License Nos. (FOLs)

DPR–70 and DPR–75 issued to PSEG

Nuclear LLC, which revised the FOLs

and Technical Specifications for

operation of the Salem Nuclear

Generating Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2,

located at the licensee’s site on the

southern end of Artificial Island in

Lower Alloways Creek Township,

Salem County, New Jersey. Salem, New

Jersey, is located approximately 7.5

miles northeast of the site. The

amendment is effective as of the date of

issuance.

The amendment modified the FOLs

and Technical Specifications to increase

the licensed power level by

approximately 1.4% from 3,411

megawatts thermal (MWt) to 3,459 MWt.

The changes are anticipated to increase

each unit’s net electrical output by 16

MWe. The request is based on the

installation of the CE Nuclear Power

LLC Crossflow ultrasonic flow

measurement system with its ability to

achieve increased accuracy in

measuring steam generator feedwater

flow. The amendment also included

administrative changes to the Salem

Unit No. 1 FOL and the Salem TS Bases.

The application for the amendment

complies with the standards and

requirements of the Atomic Energy Act

of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the

Commission’s rules and regulations.

The Commission has made appropriate

findings as required by the Act and the

Commission’s rules and regulations in

10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in

the license amendment.

Notice of Consideration of Issuance of

Amendment to Facility Operating

License and Opportunity for a Hearing

in connection with this action was

published in the Federal Register on

January 30, 2001 (66 FR 8242). No

request for a hearing or petition for

leave to intervene was filed following

this notice.

The Commission has prepared an

Environmental Assessment related to

the action and has determined not to

prepare an environmental impact

statement. Based upon the

environmental assessment, the

Commission has concluded that the

issuance of the amendment will not

have a significant effect on the quality

of the human environment (66 FR

26885).

action see (1) the application for

amendment dated November 10, 2001,
