VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY RxcHMOND,VJ:RGJ:NIA 23261 October 3,.1979 Mr. Harold:R. Denton~ ])irector Office of:Nuclear Reactor Regulation Attn: Ur. :A. Schwencer~ Chief Operating Reactors Branch No. 1 Division of Operating Reactors U.S. ~uclear.Regulatory Commission Washington~ DC 20555

Dear Mr. Denton:

Serial No. 800 LQA/DWSjr:esh Docket Nos. 50-280 50-281 License No. DPR-32 DPR-37

  • *A11ENDMENT. TO OPERI\\T;rNG. LICENSE
  • suRRY POWER;STATION.UNIT NOS~ *1iAND2.
  • SECONDARY WATER. CHEMISTRY Pursuant tolO CFR 50.90, the Virginia Electric and Power Company hereby requests an amendment to Operating License Nos~ DPR-32 and DPR-37 for Surry Power Station Unit Nos. 1 and:2.

The proposed change is in response to Mr. Schwencer' s.letter of August 1, 1979*, concerning secondary water chemistry control for Surry 1 and:2. This revision would delete any Technical Specifica-tion requirements and add a new license condition as shown in Attachment 1.

A secondary water chemistry control program would enhance safety by reducing the chance of steam generator tube degradation due to condenser inleakage of cor-rosive impurities that may accumulate in the secondary system.

Based on NRC review of industry submittals, the Staff has concluded that a Technical Specifica-tion is. not* required, if the license is conditional to require a program to be implemented.

This approach ensures that secondary chemistry will be monitored and controlled, and yet does not involve the loss of flexibility associated with a Technical Specificatione This amendment request has be~n reviewed and approved by the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Conunittee and the System Nuclear Safety and Operating Com-mittee. It has been determined that this request does not involve an urireviewed safety question, as defined in 10 CFR 50.59.

We have evaluated this request in accordance with the criteria specified in 10 CFR 170.22.

The Staff should be able to determine that this request does not involve a significant hazards consideration. Accordingly, this request has been

e e

VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY TO Mr. Harold R. Denton 2

determined to be Class III for Unit 1.

The duplicate revision for Unit 2 has been designated Class 1.

A check in the amount of $4,400.00 is attached in payment of the amendment fees.

e PROPOSED CONDITIONS OF THE LICENSE SURRY POWER STATION UNITS 1 & 2 SECONDARY WATER CHEMISTRY MONITORING A secondary water chemistry monitoring program shall be implemented to inhibit steam generator tube degradation.

This program shall include:

1 - Identification of a sampling schedule for the critical parameters and control points for the parameters; 2 - Identification of the procedures used to quantify parameters that are critical to control points; 3 - Identification of process sampling points; 4 - Procedure for the recording and management of data; 5 - Procedures de.fining corrective actions for off control point chemistry conditions; and 6 - A procedure identifying the authority responsible for the interpretation of the data, and the sequence and ti~ing of administrative events required to initiate corrective action.
