SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION l
RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 76 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-32 AND AMENDMENT NO. 77 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-37 VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY SURRY POWER STATION, UNIT NOS.1 AND 2
\\
DOCKET NOS. 50-280 AND 50-281 l
Introduction By letter dated February 19, 1982, Virgi'nia Electric and Power Company (the licensee) requested amendments to the Surry Power Station, Unit Nos. I and 2 licenses which wo'uld change the Technical Specifications to permit startup with a reactor coolant specific activity greater than 1.0 uCi/cc DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131.
p.
1 Discussion and Evaluation The Surry Technical Specifications currently permit continued operation if the specific activity exceeds 1.0 pCi/cc. DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131 but remains l
1ess than 10.0 pCi/cc. This action is permitted to accommodate possible l
iodine spiking phenomenon which may occur following changes in thermal power.
Operation with specific activities >1.0 pCi/cc is not permitted to exceed I
10 percentt of a units total yearly operating time.
This change to the Technical Specifications would permit the Surry units to restart following a shutdown but would not change the total amount of time permitted above 1.0 pC1/cc. This provision is the same as permitted by the NRC-approved Standard Technical Specifications.
We have reviewed this request and conclude that it is acceptable since the total time above 1.0 pCi/cc is n'ot changed and startup in this sense is a continuation of power following a change in thermal power.
A provision in the Standard. Technical Specifications is that a report must be made of the cumulative operating time over 500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br /> in any 6 month consecutive period with >1.0 pCi/cc DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131. We feel that this provision should be in the Surry Technical Specifications and have the licensee's consent to add it.

5 2-Environmental Consideration We have determined that the amendments do not authorize a change in effluent types or total amounts nor an increase in power' level and will not result in any significant environmental impact...Having made this determination, we have further concluded that the amendnents involve an action which is insignificant from the standpoint of environmental impact and, pursuant to 10 CFR {51.5(d)(4), that an.
environmental impact statement or negative declaration and environ.
mental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with the issuan'e of these amendments.
c Conclusion We have concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that:
(1) because the amendments do not involve a significant increase.
in the probability or consequences of accidents previously considered and do not involve a significant decrease in a safety margin, the amendments do not involve a significant hazards consideration, (2) 1 there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, and (3) such activities will be ' conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of these amendments will not be inimical
^
to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of L
the public.
