RESPONSE TO ACRS REPORT ON THE SAFETY ASPECTS OF THE SUBSEQUENT LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION FOR SURRY POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 Date: Monday, June 1, 2020 2:40:41 PM

Dear Chairman Sunseri,

During the 672nd meeting of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (the Committee) held April 8 - 11, 2020, the Committee completed its review of the subsequent license renewal application for Surry Power Station, Units 1 and 2 (Surry). The Committee also reviewed the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs final safety evaluation report for this application.

In the Committees final report dated April 30, 2020, the Committee agreed with the NRC staff that there are no open license renewal issues that would prevent the NRC from renewing the Surry operating licenses. The Committee also concluded that the programs established and committed to by the Virginia Electric and Power Company (Dominion),

provide reasonable assurance Surry can be operated in accordance with its current licensing basis for the subsequent period of extended operation without undue risk to public health and safety. As such, the Committee concluded that the NRC should approve the Surry subsequent license renewal application.

The NRC staff appreciates the Committees objective and in-depth review of the Surry subsequent license renewal application and the staffs final safety evaluation report.

The NRC staff recognizes and values the Committees commitment to safety and its important role in the license renewal process.

Best regards, Rob Taylor Robert M. Taylor Deputy Office Director for New Reactors Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (office) 301-415-1270
