SUBJECT: Report Nos. 50-280/81-04 and 50-281/81-04
This refers to the routine inspection conducted by D. J. Burke of this office on
January 2-30,. 1981, of activities authorized by NRC Operating License Nos.
DPR-32 and DPR-37 for the Surry facility.
Our preliminary findings were
discussed with J. L. Wilson at the conclusion of the inspection ..
Areas examined during the inspect ion and our findings are discussed in the
enclosed i nsp~ction report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of
selective examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with
personnel, and observations by the inspector. *
During the inspection, it was found that certain activities under your license
appear to violate NRC requirements.
These items and references to pertinent
requirements are listed in the Notice of Violation enclosed herewith as
Appendix A.
Elements to be included in your response are delineated in
Appendix A.
In addition to the need for corrective action regarding these specific viola-
tions, we are concerned with regard to the implementation of your ALARA
radiation protection program for shielding in plant areas outside containment.
Beginning in December, 1979, through January, 1980, some 50 Hea 1th Physics
requests for engineering studies were submitted to your engineering staff to
determine if shi e 1 ding such as 1 ead may be hung on piping or s*ystem components
in the decon and auxiliary buildings, to reduce the radiation exposure in those
areas without affecting the seismic response or stress of these systems. As of
January 6, 1981, none of the above requests for shielding analysis had been
completed. Consequently, in your reply, you should describe in particular those
actions taken or planned to improve the* effectiveness of your management control
system for such requests.
Iri accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC
11Rules of Practice,
11 Part 2, Title
10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this le.tter and the enclosed
inspection report will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
If this
report contains any information that you believe to be proprietary, it is
necessary that you make a written application within 20 days to this office to

report will be pJaced in the Public Document Room.

Should you have*any questions concerning this letter, we will be glad to discuss
them with you.
