Dear Mr. Denton:

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION CONCERNING OUR ASSESSMENT'OF'NUREG..::0630' In.our letter from Mr. C. M. Stallings to Mr. D. _G. Eisenhut, Serial No. 039, dated January 11, 1980, we committed to continuing our assess-ment of the fuel rod modeling concerns raised in NUREG-0630. We have _

recently received formal documentation of the Westinghouse evaluation of this concern for Surry Unit 2.

The Surry Unit 2 evaluation; using techniques discussed with members of the NRC staff on December 20, 1979, indicates that a total peaking factor, Fq, penalty of 0.007 remains after application of the approved.benefits.

Application of this impact to our current Surry Unit 2 Technical Specifica-tions total peaking factor (Fq) value of 2.19 (reference the letter from Mr. A. Schwencer (NRC) to Mr. *J. _H. Ferguson (Vepco), dated May 16, 1980) would result in a minor reduction to 2.183. In light of this very minor impact and during our continuing assessment of*_ the applicability of the data and modeling techniques being proposed in NUREG...:0630, .we will administratively restrict the total peaking factor for Surry Unit 2 to*2.18. Upon resolution of the NUREG-0630 concerns, we will address the need for any final changes to the Technical Specifications. This approach has been discussed and concurred with by members of your staff and our System and Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committees.

Should you have.questions, please contact our Mr. R. W. Cross at (804)-771-3691.

Very truly yours,

~
