SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - SURRY POWER STATION
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 05000280/2009001 AND 05000281/2009001)
Dear Mr. Christian:
On February 12, 2009, the NRC staff completed its performance review of the Surry Power
Station Units 1 and 2. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most
recent quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2008.
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 security information. A
separate letter designated and marked as "Official Use Only--Security Information" will include
the security cornerstone review and resultant inspection plan.
Overall, Surry Power 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 NRC=s Action Matrix, based on all inspection findings being classified
as having very low safety significance (Green) and all PIs indicating 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 special and
infrequently performed IPs which include: Operator Licensing Exams and Independent Spent
Fuel Storage Installation Operational Inspection.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection,
scheduled through June 30, 2010. The inspection plan is provided to allow for the resolution of
any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues well in advance of the inspectors
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.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC=s ARules 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 404-562-4551 with any
questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
Sincerely,
/RA/
