The licensee has proposed corrective design changes to Er,4 eliminate further leakage. Meanwhile, leakage has been teminated by 'g installation of plugs in the piping. 00R is reviewing the licensee proposed changes in plant design. Surry Power Station Unit No. 2 On October 8,1977 the NRC issued an Order authorizing restart of Unit 2 af ter a recent steam generator inspectinn and repair program. The Order provides for shutdown for steam generator inspection af ter six months of operation. Unit 2 had been shutdown since Septe.?ber 9,1977 for the Cycle 4 g Nira reload.

g i seismic and geological issues related to the Indian Point site.

Mg The Appeal Board held, Chainnan Farrar dissenting in part, that; b' 1. In accordance with Appendix A,10 CFR 100, neither the Cape Ann earthquake nor any other historic event requires L the assumption of a safe shutdown earthquake for the f Indian Point site of greater than a modified Mercalli Og intensity VII. 2. The ground acceleration value used for the design of 1 Indian Point Units 2 and 3 should remain at 0.15g. Indian Point Unit 1 was designed for a lesser value', but the reactor is currently shut down and the fuel removed. If it should be reactivated.. it must be backfitted to sustain an acceleration of 0.15g. y hylj 3. The Ramapo fault is not a capable fault under Appendix A, g 10 CFR Part 100. i 4. The extended micromonitoring system required by' 92(C)(4)(c) 9 of knendment 2 to the operation license of Unit 3 is E unnecessary and will not add to the assurance of public T. 5I health and safety. The NRC Staff is therefore instructed M*W) to delete that section of the license amendment requiring d.y the enlarged monitoring system. O!
