UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 2055~001 Docket Nos. 50-280 and 50-281 Mr. J. P. O'Hanlon Senior Vice President - Nuclear Virginia Electric and Power Company 5000 Dominion Blvd.

Glen Allen, Virginia 23060

Dear Mr. O'Hanlon:

May 24, 1994

SUBJECT:

GENERIC LETTER {GL) 92-01, REVISION 1, "REACTOR VESSEL STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY," SURRY POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 {TAC NOS. M83739 AND M83740)

By letters dated June 29, 1992, and September 23, 1993, you provided your response to GL 92-01, Revision 1.

The NRC staff has completed its review of your responses.

The GL is part of the staff's program to evaluate reactor vessel integrity for Pressurized Water Reactors {PWRs) and Boiling Water Reactors {BWRs).

The information provided in response to GL 92-01, Revision 1, including previously docketed information, is being used to confirm that licensees satisfy the requirements and commitments necessary to ensure reactor vessel integrity for their facilities.

A substantial amount of information was provided in response to GL 92-01, Revision 1.

These data have been entered into a computerized data base designated the Reactor Vessel Integrity Database {RVID).

The RVID contains.

the following tables: a pressurized thermal shock {PTS) table for PWRs, a pressure~temperature limits table for BWRs and an upper-shelf energy {USE) table for PWRs and BWRs. provides the PTS tables, Enclosure 2 provides the USE tables for your facilities, and Enclosure 3 provides a key for the nomenclature used in the tables. The tables include the data necessary to perform USE an.d RT pts eva 1 uat i ans. These data were taken from your responses to GL 92-01 and previously docketed information. References to the specific source of the data are provided in the tables.

We request that, within 30 days, you provide confirmation of the plant-specific applicability of Topical Reports BAW-2178P and BAW-2192P to Surry, Units 1 and 2, as a basis for demonstrating compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix G, Paragraph IV.A. I.

To demonstrate that the topical reports are applicable to Surry, Units 1 and 2, you must compare the limiting material properties of your reactor vessel to the values reported in the topical reports.

,,-----v'..L d ~: v..

9406030192*940524 PPDR ADOCK o:;;qoo2eo

.

e e In addition, we have determined that additional data is required to confirm that the USE at end-of-life {EOL} for the nozzle belt to intermediate shell circumferential weld in Surry, Units 1 and 2, is greater than 50 ft-lb because you have provided a generic mean value for the unirradiated USE.

These types of values are unacceptable because they do not consider material variability.

When the unirradiated USE for a particular material has not been determined, you can set the USE equal to the lower tolerance limit calculated for the group of similar materials. The unirradiated USE should be determined such that there exists 95% confidence that at least 95% of the population is greater than the lower tolerance limit. If the lower tolerance limit results in a projected USE at EOL of less than 50 ft-lb, then you must demonstrate, in accordance with Appendix G, 10 CFR Part 50, that lower values of USE will provide margins of safety against fracture equivalent to those required by Appendix G of Section III of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.

We request that you submit within 30 days a schedule for performing these analyses.

Further, we request that you verify that the information you have provided for your facility has been accurately entered in the summary file.

If no comments are made in your response to this request, the staff will use the information in the tables for future NRC assessments of your reactor pressure vessel.

Once your response is received and your schedule is determined to be satisfactory, the staff will consider your actions related to GL 92-01, Revision 1, to be complete.

When your analyses are submitted, they will be reviewed as a plant-specific licensing action.

The information requested by this letter is within the scope of the overall burden estimated in GL 92-01, Revision 1, "Reactor Vessel Structural Integrity, 10 CFR 50.54(f)." The estimated average number of burden hours is 200 person hours for each addressee's response. This estimate pertains only to the identified response-related matters and does not include the time required to implement actions required by the regulations. This action is covered by the Office of Management and Budget Clearance Number 3150-0011, which expires June 30, 1994.
