UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II 245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257 August 20, 2015 Mr. David A. Heacock President & Chief Nuclear Officer Virginia Electric and Power Company Surry Power Station, Units 1 & 2 Innsbrook Technical Center 5000 Dominion Boulevard Glen Allen, VA 23060

SUBJECT:

SURRY POWER STATION NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Heacock:

During the week of October 19 - 23, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will conduct a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at the Surry Power Station, Units 1 and 2. The inspection will evaluate activities in the Occupational and Public Radiation Safety cornerstone using NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.08, and portions of Temporary Instruction 2800/041. In order to minimize the impact to your onsite resources and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection. It is important that all of these documents are up-to-date, and complete, in order to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the preparation, and/or the onsite portion of the inspection. The NRC requests that the requested documents be provided to the inspectors in CD format, on or before October 9, 2015.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff, and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Kimberly Mitchell, 757-365-2490, of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Robert Kellner at 404-997-4508, or the Plant Support Branch 1 Chief, Brian Bonser at 404-997-4653.

This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control numbers 3150-0008, 3150-0011, 3150-0014, and 3150-0044. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a request for information or an information collection requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding, of the NRCs Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure, a copy of this letter, and its Enclosure, will be available electronically for public

inspection in the NRC Public Document Room, or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS);

accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA by Wade Loo Acting for/

The current version of these documents is expected unless specified otherwise. Electronic media is preferred, if readily available. (The preferred file format is Word or searchable pdf files on CDROM. Please provide three copies of each electronic media device submitted.) Information in the document lists should contain enough information to be easily understood by someone who has knowledge of the subject.

The lead inspector can answer questions regarding questions on specific information needs with licensee staff and may request additional documents.

Documentation is requested from April 26, 2014, to the present, unless otherwise noted for the inspection procedures. We would prefer as much of the information as possible in electronic form. An index to the CD contents is also helpful. For those items requesting a list of documents/areas, the inspectors will select documents/areas from the list for onsite review.

If you have any questions, please call Robert Kellner at 404-997-4508. Thank you in advance for all of your effort in putting together this material.
