Annual lAAssessment M Meetingi US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region II
Our Mission
- To license and regulate the nations civilian use of byproduct, source, and special nuclear materials to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety, promote the common defense and security, security and protect the environment.
2
The NRC Regulates g
- Nuclear reactors - commercial power reactors, research andd ttestt reactors, t new reactor t designs d i
- Nuclear materials - nuclear reactor fuel, radioactive materials for medical, industrial, and academic use
- Nuclear waste - transportation, storage and disposal of nuclear material and waste, decommissioning of nuclear facilities
- Nuclear security - physical security of nuclear facilities and materials from sabotage or attacks 3
How We Regulate g
- Establish rules and regulations
- Issue licenses
- Provide oversight through inspection inspection, enforcement, and evaluation of operational experience
- Conduct research to provide support for regulatory decisions
- Respond to events and emergencies 4

NRC Inspection Activities Surry Reactive Special Inspection On August 6, 2010, the NRC completed a Special Inspection at Surry Power Station Unit 1. The purpose of this inspection was to inspect and assess the loss of vital instrument bus 1-III and the subsequent Unit 1 reactor trip, trip safety injection and nuclear instrument cabinet fire fire.
An NRC identified non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criteria XVI, Corrective Action, was identified for the licensees failure y and correct degraded to identify g RC filters associated with Unit 1 Nuclear Instrument (NI) cabinets for N-42 and N-44 based on a similar degraded condition identified on Unit 2 NI cabinet N-43 in November 2009. The issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as condition report CR383881 CR383881. All the RC filters in the Surry Unit 1 and 2 NI cabinets have been replaced with new RC filters.
