The bulletin requested two separate licensee submittals in response to the Bulletin as follows: 1) within 30-days from the date of the Bulletin confirm continued compliance with 10 CFR 50.54(hh)(2), and 2) within 60-days from the date of the Bulletin provide requested information associated with their mitigation strategies programs for 10 CFR 50.54(hh)(2). The Dominion 30-day and 60-day responses for Surry Power Station (SPS) Units 1 and 2 were submitted to the NRC on June 10, 2011 (Serial No. 11-290D) and July 8, 2011 (Serial No. 11-290H), respectively. By letter dated November 17, 2011 the NRC requested additional information describing how SPS ensures the availability of air bottles used to manually depressurize the steam generators. This is accomplished every refueling outage by aligning the manual system and cycling each of the steam generator pressure operated relief valves (PORVs) fully open then fully closed. The air bottles are isolated after the test.
