e VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 23261 W. L. STEWART VICE PRESIDENT NucLEAR OPERATIONS January 4, 1985 Mr. Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Attn:
Mr. Steven A. Varga, Chief Operating Reactors Branch No. 1 Division of Licensing U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C. 20555 Gentlemen:
Serial No. 761 NO/JDH:acm Docket No. 50-281 License No. DPR-37 VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY SURRY POWER STATION UNIT NO. 2 PROPOSED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGE Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, the Virginia Electric and Power Company requests an amendment, in the form of changes to the Technical Specifications, to Operating License No. DPR-37 for Surry Power Station Unit No. 2.
Technical Specification 4.17.A specifies the visual inspection interval for shock suppressors (snubbers); 4.17. B specifies the acceptance criteria for visual inspections.
Based on inspection results during the last visual snubber inspection, conducted November 9-17,
- 1984, the next inspection interval was determined to be 62 days+/- 25 percent, or no later than February 1, 1985.
Because inspection of all snubbers sufficient to satisfy the criteria in Specification 4.17.B cannot be conducted at power, Unit 2 must be shutdown for approximately.ten days in late January,
- 1985, to conduct the required inspection.
However, a major refueling and ten-year ISI inspection outage is scheduled to begin shortly thereafter on or about March 22, 1985.
During the refueling/ISI outage, visual and functional testing of the snubbers, as required by Technical Specification 4.17.C, will be performed.
Because these duplicate efforts, if conducted as presently scheduled, would result in unnecessary personnel exposure, we believe that a one-time change to Technical Specification 4.17.A is warranted.
The proposed Technical Specification changes are provided in Attachment 1.
A discussion of the proposed Technical Specifications is provided in Attachment
- 2.
The basis for the exigent request has been provided in Attachment 3.
In accordance with 10 CFR Part 170, an Application Fee of $150 is also enclosed.
This request has been reviewed and approved by the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee and the Safety Evaluation and Control Staff.
It has been determined that this change does not pose an unreviewed safety question as defined in 10 CFR 50.59 and does not pose a significant hazards consideration as defined in 10 CFR 50.92.

e VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND PowER COMPANY TO Mr. Harold R. Denton Because the proposed Technical Specification change has direct impact on our power generation capability for January - February, 1985, we would appreciate your prompt attention to this request and issuance of the change by February 1, 1985.
If you have any questions, or need additional information to process this request, please contact us immediately.
