e UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON. D.C. 20555-0001 Docket Nos. 50-280 and 50-281 Mr. W. L. Stewart Senior Vice President - Nuclear Virginia Electric and Power Company 5000 Dominion Blvd.

Dear Mr. Stewart:
March 11, 1994
SUBJECT:
SURRY POWER STATION, UNITS I AND 2 - INTERIM RELIEF OF THE SECOND IO-YEAR INSERVICE INSPECTION PROGRAM {TAC NOS. M85678, M85679, M86767, M86768, M87236, M87237)
The NRC staff has performed a significant review of the Surry, Unit Nos. I and 2 Inservice Inspection {ISI) Program for the second IO-year interval.
You submitted this program by letter dated January 26, 1993, as supplemented June 8, 1993, and by two letters dated October 8, 1993.
We conclude that the ISI program is reasonably complete with respect to all components required to be in the program.
We have not yet completed our final review nor issued our final Safety Evaluation {SE).
However, based upon our review of the relief requests, we have determined that certain Code requirements are impractical and would be a burden on the licensee; therefore, interim relief is granted in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a{g){6){i).
In cases where the requests for relief contain proposed alternative examinations, we have determined, for the interim, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a{a){3){i) that the alternatives is authorized.
The approval of the relief requests is based upon the fact that this interim relief extends a relief formerly given and extending this relief does not increase the likelihood of an accident. Further, the relief requested is similar to other reliefs granted for similar conditions.
We have concluded that during the interim period there is reasonable assurance that the proposed alternatives would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety. Since the interim approval does not represent the results of the final program review, the final SE could contain relief request denials. Therefore, you are authorized to implement your proposed program as described in the above-cited submittal.
Until we complete our detailed review of the ISI program, you must comply with both the existing Technical Specifications (TS) and the proposed ISI program.
Thus, the granting of this relief from the ASME Code does not relieve you from any of the requirements in the existing TS.
When our detailed review of your submittal is complete, we will issue a final SE of your program.
Completion of this review may require additional information which will be requested by separate correspondence.
Our SE may contain modifications resulting from the staff's review or may grant relief 9403170123 940311 PDR ADOCK 05000280 Q

e March 11, 1994 from any ASME Code requirements that are determined to be impractical for the facility for the duration of the second IO-year testing interval.
We anticipate issuing the final SE by early April 1994.
The staff has determined that pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(i) approval of the interim reliefs is authorized by law and will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security.
We also find that the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable level of quality and safety; therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i) the proposed alternatives contained in the requests for relief are authorized.
The staff has also concluded that granting the approvals is otherwise in the public interest considering the burden that could result if the requirements were imposed on the facility.
The interim relief will terminate upon issuance of our final SE.
