e VIRGINIA ELECTRIC'"AND POWER COMPANY RICHMOND~ VIRGINIA 23261 W. L. STEWART VICE PRESIDENT NUCLEAR OPERATIONS January 13, 1984 Mr. Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Attn:
Mr. Darrell G. Eisenhut, Director Division of Licensing U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C.
20555 Gentlemen:
Serial No: 758 NO/DWL:jab Docket Nos: 50-280 50-281 License Nos: DPR-32 DPR-37 VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY SURRY POWER STATION RESPONSE TO GENERIC LETTER 83-41 In response to your request for voluntary information regarding "Fast Cold Starts of Diesel Generators", the following information is provided:
Surry has three Emergency Diesel Generators (EDG's) which have experienced a total of 137 "cold" starts.
The distribution of these
. starts are 46, 38, and 53 for EDG' s 1, 2, and 3, respectively.
Approximately 50 percent of these starts are due to Periodic Testing.
No apparent detrimental effects have been observed as a result of these "cold" starts. It must be noted, however, that the term "fast cold start" is not particularly applicable at Surry since the EDG' s are pre-lubricated and pre-heated to the extent that a true fast cold start should not occur.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact us.
