UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION DOCKET N0. 72-2 (50-280 and -281)
VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF MATERIALS LICENSE SNM-2501 FOR THE SURRY DRY CASK INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION AT THE SURRY POWER STATION The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has issued a materials license under the requirements of 10 CFR Part 72 to Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPC0 or the licensee) authorizing the receipt and storage of spent fuel in dry casks at an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) located onsite at the Surry Power Station in Surry County, Virginia.
The function of the dry cask ISFSI is to provide interim storage of spent fuel from Surry Power Station Units 1 and 2.
Spent fuel loading and cask preparation takes place within the Surry Power Station fuel handling building. The casks are then moved to the onsite ISFSI where they are placed on concrete slabs. The spent fuel is stored in an inert atmosphere inside massive metal casks which provide confinement, shielding, criticality control and passive heat removal.

2 The Commission's Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards has completed its environmental, safeguards, and safety reviews in support of the issuance of this license. The Commission authorized issuance of this license pursuant to 52.764(c) of 10 CFR Part 2.
Following receipt of the VEPC0 application filed October 8, 1982, a Notice of Proposed Action was published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on December 9, 1982 (47 FR 55441).
Subsequently, VEPC0 informed NRC by letter in March 1984 of its selection of the CASTOR V/21 design for its application. Revision of VEPC0's safety analysis report and updating of its environmental report were based on this design. The " Environmental Assessment (EA) Related to the Construction and Operation of the Surry Dry Cask Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation" (dated April 1985), along with a Finding of No Significant Impact was issued and noticed in the FEDERAL REGISTER in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51 (50 FR 15517, April 18, 1985). The scope of the environmental assessment included the construction and operation of an ISFSI on the Surry site, including impact specifically derived from the cask to be used, the CASTOR V/21. NRC staff completed its safety review of the Topical Safety Analysis Report for the General Nuclear Systems, Inc., Castor V/21, in September 1985 and issued a letter of approval with a Safety Evaluation Report, as supplemented by letter dated April 30, 1986.
, The staff has completed its safety review of the Surry site application.
VEPCO's safety analysis report, submitted with its application, includes confirmation by VEPC0's reactor safety committee that no technical specification changes are required under the Surry reactor operating licenses to accommodate a Part 72 license for onsite storage, that joint operation of the reactor and onsite storage does not affect the safety margins of either one and that onsite storage is an independent operation as defined in Part 72. The staff's Safety Evaluation Report of the Surry Dry Cask Independent Spent Fuel Storge Installation was completed in May 1986.
Materials License SNM-2501, the staff's Environmental Assessment, Safety Evaluation Report, and other documents related to this action are available for public inspection and for copying for a fee at the NRC Public Document Room 1717 H Street, NW., Washington, DC, and at the Local Public Document Room at the Swem Library, College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia, 23185.
Dated at Silver Spring, Maryland this 2nd day of July 1986.
