Alliance for a Progressive Virginia General Comment The Alliance for a Progressive Virgin ia strongly opposes a further extensio n of the license of the Surry NPP.

It is clear that these reactors were never designed to remain in opporation for such long periods of time. The NRC is aware of the issues concerni ng aging facilities including reactor vessel embr ittlement, irradiation assisted stress-1corrosion cracking of reactor internals and degradation of concrete structures, electrical cables and buried pipes. We are deeply concerned that the NRC is using a one size fits all approach to relicensing Surry NPP for an additional 20 years. We believe it is extremely premature to innitiate this process13 years before the first license extensions end in 2032 and 2033.

Furthermore, we note with alarm that documents exis t that appear to show the NRC granted Dominions requests for relief and exemptions prior to Dominion submitting their applicati on for subsequent license renewal. This seems to demonstrate a deeply problemat ic and potentially inappropr iately close relationship between regulators and industry. With this in mind we are further concerned at the number and frequency of postponed inspections, tests and examinat ions that did not meet 100% covera ge. At the least these tests need to be fully completed and all of the results made publicly available prior to any further review.

APV believes further steps must first be taken before any relicensing at Surry NPP proceeds. There is NO need to rush forward, instead the public needs a full accounting based on good sc ience and free of industry bias.Page 1 of 1 01/25/201 9 https://www.fdms.gov/fdms/g etcontent?objectId=0900006483a01116&fo rmat=xml&showorig=fals e
