Surry CY 2004 Assessment Results Surry Unit 1 and Surry Unit 2 performance for the most recent quarter (4th Qtr 2004) was within the Regulatory Response Column of the NRCs Action Matrix for a White Fire Protection Finding.
Surry Unit 1 was in the Degraded Cornerstone Column of the NRCs Action Matrix for the first three quarters of 2004. The Emergency AC - Performance Indicator (PI), remained White through the third quarter 2004. This, combined with the Fire Protection White Finding placed Unit 1 in the Degraded Cornerstone for the first three quarters of 2004. The White Emergency AC - Performance Indicator for Unit 1 returned to Green in the fourth quarter 2004.
Surry Unit 2 was in the Degraded Cornerstone Column of the NRCs Action Matrix for the first quarter of 2004. The Emergency AC - Performance Indicator,
remained White through the first quarter 2004. This, combined with the Fire Protection White Finding, placed Unit 2 in the Degraded Cornerstone during the first quarter of 2004. The White Emergency AC - Performance Indicator for Unit 2 returned to Green in the second quarter 2004.

Surry Units 1 and 2 White Finding
- Surry Units 1 and 2 fire response procedures were not adequate to ensure safe shutdown following a fire in the Emergency Switchgear and Relay Room Numbers 1 or 2.
- The performance issue associated with this inspection finding was characterized as having low-to-moderate risk significance (White) in NRC Final Significance Determination letter dated September 15, 2004. This White inspection finding was identified in the first quarter of 2004.
- Supplemental inspection indicated licensees corrective actions (both planned and already completed) were appropriate to resolve the deficiencies related to the degraded Mitigating Systems cornerstone.
