Public Service Electric & Gas/Salem & Hope Creek Generating Stations Groundwater Protection Program & Assessment

BNI project scope included:

• Self assessments of the groundwater protection program, radiological effluent tech specs and radiological environmental monitoring program.
• Development of draft report and written self-assessment report identifying program improvements to comply with NRC regulations

BNI then performed a review to ensure the station Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) adequately reflected current site conditions based on the latest characterization of geology and hydrology. BNI also performed a review of Site Conceptual Models and Site Investigation Reports to determine if updates to FSAR were required. These were performed in accordance with section 1.1.e of the NEI-07-07 guidance document, which requires that the FSAR be revised to include changes to the characterization of hydrology and/or geology. The review included a written report summarizing the results of BNI’s findings.
