SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - SURRY POWER STATION (NRC
INSPECTION REPORTS 05000280/2006001 AND 05000281/2006001)
Dear Mr. Christian:
On February 9, 2006, the NRC staff completed their performance review of the Surry Power
Station. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter
and inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2005. The purpose
of this letter is to inform you of our assessment of your safety performance during this period
and our plans for future inspections at your facility.
This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include physical protection
information. A separate letter, designated and marked as Official Use Only - Security-Related
Information, will include the physical protection review and resultant inspection plan.
Overall, Surry Station Units 1 and 2 operated in a manner that preserved public health and
safety and fully met all cornerstone objectives. Plant performance for the most recent quarter,
as well as for the first three quarters of the assessment cycle, was within the Licensee
Response column of the NRCs Action Matrix. We base this conclusion on the fact that all
inspection findings were classified as having very low safety significance (Green) and all PIs
indicated performance at a level requiring no additional NRC oversight (Green). Therefore, we
plan to conduct reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline inspections at your facility. We also
plan on conducting non-ROP inspections of your Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facility and a
special inspection of the Unit 2 containment sump.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection
scheduled through September 30, 2007. The inspection plan is provided to allow for the
resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues well in advance of
inspector arrival onsite. Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and
continuous nature. The inspections in the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentative
and may be revised at the mid-cycle review. Although our intent is to maintain the enclosed
inspection plan fixed for the first nine months, a need may arise to conduct one or more
unanticipated inspections prior to issuing an updated inspection plan with the 2006 assessment
cycle mid-cycle letter.

If an inspection of this type becomes necessary, we will notify you of the planned inspection
dates as soon as possible to resolve as much as we can, any scheduling and personnel
availability conflicts you may have.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its
enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public
Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's
document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
If circumstances arise which cause us to change this inspection plan, we will contact you to
discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact me at (404) 562-4510 with any
questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
