e Letter only~ Stello Federal Emergency Management Agency i:~!or Washington, D.C. 20472 OCT 2 9 1987 Mr. Victor Stello, Jr.
Executive Director for Operations U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. Stello:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has completed an analysis of the prompt alert and notification system for the Surry Power Station located in Gravel Neck, Virginia~ This review has been completed pursuant to Title 44 CFR, Part 350; selected evaluative criteria and Appendix 3 in NUREG-0654/
FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1; and FEMA-REP-10, the "Guide for the Evaluation of Alert and Notification Systems for Nuclear Power Plants." The enclosed report, entitled "Surry Power Station Site-Specific Offsite Radiological Emergency Preparedn:ess Alert and Notification System Quality Assurance Verification,"
summarizes the engineering design review; incorporates the results of the public telephone survey conducted immediately following f~ll activation of the alert and notification system on June 11, 1986; and confirms.the adequacy of the applicable evaluative criteria from NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1,
. and FEMA-REP-10.
Based on the engineering design review and the results of the public telephone survey, FEMA has determined that the alert and notification system installed around the Surry Power Station satisfies-the requirements of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, and FEMA-REP-10.
Therefore, there is now reasonable assur-ance that. the system is adequate to promptly alert and notify the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the site. The caveat on the alert and notification system contained in the Title 44 CFR, Part 350 approval dated February 23, 1983, is now removed.
The Honorable Gerald L. Baliles, Governor of Virginia, has been advised* of this approval.
Grace Murray Notwithstanding this approval, FEMA recommends that the Commonwealth of Virginia, the local jurisdictions, and the Virginia Power Company consider increasing the frequency *of the*full-cycle tests of the Surry alert ana notification system to once a month.
FEMA believes that additional full:-cycle tests, at a monthly fre-quency, would provide an added degree. of assurance of the continued readiness and operability of the Surry alert and notification system.
