Gentlemen:

Subject: Report Nos. SIF280/82-0Tand 50-281/82-09

This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Mr. C. M. Hosey of this

office on April 19-23, 1982, of activities authorized by NRC Operating License

Nos. OPR-32 and DPR-37 for the Surry facility. Our preliminary findings were

discussed with Mr. J. L. Wilson, Station Manager, at the conclusion of the

inspection.

Areas examined during the inspection and our findings are discussed in the

enclosed inspection report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of

selective examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews

with personnel, and observations by the inspector.

During the inspection, it was found that certain activities under your license

appear to violate NRC requirements. These items and references to pertinent

requirements are listed in the Notice of Violation enclosed herewith as

. Appendix A. Elements to be included in your response are delineated in

Appendix A.

,

We are concerned with your apparent inability to evaluate in a timely manner

unplanned gaseous releases from the facility as evidenced by the inadequate

t.

evaluation of a release which occurred on February 9,1982, and that over nine

hours expired before you completed the evaluation of the release on April 18,

1982, and declared an unusual event. Consequently, in your response to the

Notice of Violation (Appendix A), describe in detail those actions taken or

planned to assure that unplanned releases are identified, evaluated and reported

in a timely manner.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a), a copy of this letter and the enclosure will

be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room unless you notify this office, by

telephone, within ten days of the date of this letter and submit written

application to withhold information contained therein within thirty days of the

date of this letter. Such application must be consistent with the requirements

,

of 2.790(b)(1).

The responses directed by this letter and the enclosures are not subject to the

clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required by the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
