i 7590 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY SURRY POWER STATION. UNITS 1 AND 2 QOCKET NOS. 50-280 AND 50-281 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of amendments to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-32 and DPR-37, issued to Virginia Electric and Power Company (the licensee), for the Surry Power Station, Unit Nos. I and 2, located in Surry County, Virginia.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Identification of Pronosed Action:
The proposed amendments would modify Technical Specification (TS) Table 3.7-2, item 5. "NON-ESSENTIAL SERVICE WATER," to include operability requirements for the actuation logic.
Specifically, Item 5.b. " Automatic actuation logic," is being added to indicate total number of channels, minimum operable channels, channels to trip, and Operator Action 14.
The action statement will require the unit to be placed in hot shutdown within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> when the minimum channels operable requirements are not met and allow one channel of the actuation logic to be bypassed for up to 8 hcurs for-surveil".ance testing.
The proposed action is in accordance with the licensee's application for amendment dated September 4, 1992.
The Need for the Proposed Action:
The proposed changes'to the TS permit an allowable outage time for surveillance testing of the non-essential service water actuation logic and include operability requirements and an action statement for the actuation logic.

.. Environmantal Impacts of the Proposed Action:
The Commission has completed its evaluation of the proposed revisions to the TS.
The proposed revisions would allow an 8-hour _ permissible bypass condition for th9 performance of the non-essential service' water isolation actuation logic surveillance testing and include operability requirements for the actuation logic.
The proposed changes do not increase the probability or consequences of accidents, no changes are being made in the types of any effluents that may be released offsite, and there is no significant increase in the allowable individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
Accordingly, the Commission concludes that this proposed action would_ result in no significant radiological _ environmental imp'act.
With regard to potential non-radiological impacts, the proposed changes to the TS do not affect non-radiological plant. effluents and 'have no other environmental impact she,efore, the Commission concludes that there are no significant non-radiological-environmental impacts associated with the a
proposed amendment.
The Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendments aad 9p,nortunity for-Hearing in connection with this action was published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on October 20, 1992 (57 FR 47884). No request for hearing or petition for leave to intervene was filed following this notice.
Alternatives to the Proposed Action:
Since the Commission concluded that there are no significant environmental effects that would result from the proposed action, any L
alternatives with equal _or greater environmental impacts need.not be evaluated.
V x.
. =
3-The principal alternative would be to deny the requested' amendments..
This would not reduce the environmental impacts of plant operation and would result in reduced operetional flexibility.
Alternative Use of Resources:
This action does not involve the use of any resource, not previously considered in the Final Environmental Statements for the Surry Power Station, Units 1 and 2.
Aggncies and Persons Consulted:
The NRC staff reviewed the licensee's request and did not consult:other agencies or persons.
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The Commission has determined not to prepare an environmental impact-statement for the proposed license amendments.
Based upon the foregoing environmental assessment, the NRC. staff concludes that the proposed action will not have a significant effect on the l
quality of the human environment.
For further details with respect to this action, see the application-for' l
amendments dated September 4,1992, which is available for public inspection l
l at the Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman Building,-2120_ L Straet, NW., Washington, DC and at the Swem Library, College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia 23185.
