VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY RICHMOND~ VIRGINIA 23261 April 11, 2008 Mr. Victor McCree Serial No. 08-0218 Acting Regional Administrator SS&L/TIN RO United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Docket Nos. 50-280 Region II 50-281 Sam Nunn Atlanta Federal Center License Nos. DPR-32 61 Forsyth St., SW, Suite 23T85 DPR-37 Atlanta, Georgia 30303-8931 VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY SURRY POWER STATION UNITS 1 AND 2 WRITTEN/OPERATING LICENSE EXAMINATION COMMENTS In accordance with NUREG-1 021, Section ES-402, the following comments are submitted concerning the Reactor Operator and Senior Reactor Operator Initial Examinations administered at Surry in March and April 2008.

Written Exam:

Surry Power Station does not have any post exam comments related to the written exam administered on April 9, 2008.

Operating Exam:

ADMIN JPM G2.1.7 Quadrant Power Tilt Calculation The number in the answer key for the N-44 Upper Tilt Calculation was listed as .9895. The correct answer should have been .9858. This was not a critical task in this JPM.

N-44 Upper Tilt calculation had a transposition error.

Recommendation: Replace .9895 with .9858 in answer key for the N-44 Upper Tilt Calculation.

Serial No. 08-0218 Docket Nos. 50-280 50-281 ADMIN JPM G2.4.43 Transmit Report of Emergency to State and Local Governments Item 5 of the transmittal form had the critical task listed as "Unit 1 reactor failed to trip. The reactor is now tripped (or words to this effect)".

After conferring with the Emergency Preparedness group, only notifying the State that the reactor failed to trip is required to meet the minimum requirements for this task (Le. this is the minimum required for a satisfactory Performance Indicator).

This evaluation criterion was subsequently identified in DNAP-2605 (Emergency Preparedness Performance Indicators). Attachment 2 of this procedure only requires a description of the event, which is meant to indicate the reason for entering the emergency plan. As such, the critical task should state, at a minimum, "The reactor failed to trip".

Recommendation: Replace critical task for item #5 to read as follows: "The reactor failed to trip (or words to this effect)".

If yo a e any questions or require additional information, please contact Mr. Barry A.
