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:
VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMP.ANY SURRY POWER STATION UNITS 1 AND 2 APPENDIX R - FIRE PROTECTION Serial No. 381 NO/JDH:acm Docket Nos. 50-280 50-281 License Nos. DPR-32 DPR-37 In early October 1983 Vepco recognized that its level of understanding of the fire protection issues embodied in Appendix R to 10CFR50 had not been adequate and that all the implications contained in the regulation had not been fully addressed.
This recognition was a result of both additional NRC guidance and recent fire protection inspection results at our North Anna Power Station.
At that time, we immediately embarked on a comprehensive reanalysis of our fire protection programs at both North Anna and Surry to insure full compliance with the requirements.
On January 27, 1984, we met in Bethesda with members of your staff and the Region II office.
We provided a brief history of Vepco's efforts in the area of fire protection, described our earlier actions and intended modifications as a result of our original analysis, and discussed the scope and bases for our reanalysis.
We committed to submit -
by May 1, 1984, for North Anna and by July 6,
- 1984, for Surry any additional exemption requests and descriptions of any additional modifications resulting from that reanalysis.
The commitment for North Anna was met on time.
For Surry, our reanalysis has demonstrated that many of the actions and schedules previously identified in our June 18, 1982 submittal remain valid.
However, the reanalysis also identified a substantial number of new areas where modifications were necessary or exemption requests were appropriate.
Certain of these areas have taken significantly longer to resolve than first anticipated.
This delay has resulted in our decision to provide the necessary information for Surry in two phases.
This decision has been discussed with the NRC Surry Project Manager.
.. --'.. - '\\
e VIRGINIA. ELECTRIC AND Po°\\rnR CoMPANY To Harold R. Denton Phase 1, which is attached, contains descriptions of roughly half of the modifications which will be necessary and nearly all of the exemption requests.
Items to be addressed by Phase 2 include:
condenser inlet valve control, fuel oil transfer pump cables in the electrical manhole, spurious operations, and post-fire ventilation.
The modifications and/or exemption requests resulting from the resolution of the Phase 2 items will be submitted by September 14, 1984.
The descriptions include the associated schedule for each modification and specify where compensatory measures have been taken in the interim until the modifications are completed, Although the attached information (and the Phase 2 information to be provided by September 14, 1984) has been written as a
stand-alone document to facilitate your review, it represents only two chapters (designated Volume II) in our fire protection reanalysis report.
The remaining chapters (designated Volume I), which contain an introduction and executive summary, description of all fire areas, a safe shutdown analysis, Appendix R compliance summary, and a description of alternative shutdown systems, will also be submitted to NRC.
In addition to the complete reanalysis report described above, the drawings, diagrams, and other background information used in its development will be available onsite.
Ten copies of the attached information are provided, Additional copies of both the report and photographs are available upon request.
Please contact us if you have any questions regarding this matter.
