F 7590-01 UNITED STATED NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION GEORGIA POWER COMPANY DOCKET NOS. 50-321 AND 50-366 NOTICE OF PARTIAL DENIAL OF AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has denied a request by Virginia Electric and Power Company, (the licensee) for amendments to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-32 and DPR-37 issued to the licensee for operation of the Surry Power Station, Units 1 and 2.
Notice of Consideration of the amendments was published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on February 12, 1991.
The licensee's application of November 14, 1990, proposed three changes to the Technical Specifications (TS) relating to containment leak rate testing.
One of these changes was previously granted.
The seCond is authorized by the current amendments. The third requested a reduction in the emergency escape airlock seal from 45 psig to 10 psig.
This specific change to reduce the leak test pressure for the airlock seal is not justified because the licensee has not adequately demonstrated the 10 psig pressure test provides the required assurance that the emergency airlock seal will function as required to minimize outleakage during and following a loss-of-coolant accident.
The requested change is therefore denied. The licensee was notified of the Commission's denial by letter dated July 1,1993.
