UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATION COMMISSION VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY SURRY POWER STATION, UNTYS NO. 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-780 ann 50-?81 NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IPPACT The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Comission) is considering issuance of an amendment to Facility Operating Licenses No. DPR-32 and No.
DPR-37 issued to Virginia Electric and Power company (the licensee), for the i
operation of Surry Power Station, Units No. I and 2, located in Surry County, Virginfa.
Identification of Proposed Action:
The amendment would consist of changes to the operating license authorizing an extension in the expiration date for the Unit I Facility Operating License DPR-32 from June 25, 2008, to May 25, 2012, and for the
~
Unit 2 Facility Operating License DPR-37 from June 25, 2008, to January 70, 2013.
The amendment to the licenses is responsive to the licensee's application I
dated August 22, 1986, as supplemented by letters dated December 5, and December 10, 1986. The NRC staff has prepared an Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Action, " Environmental Assessmant by the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Relating to the Change in Expiration Dates of Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-3? and DPR-37 Viroinia Electric Power Company, Surry Power Station, Units No. I and No. 2," dated December 94, 1986.

Sumarv of Environmental Assessment:
l The NRC staff has r. viewed the potential environmental impacts of the h
proposed change in the expiration dates of the Operating Licenses for Surry Power Station, Unit Nos. I and 7.
This evaluation considered the previous environmental studies, including the " Final Environmental Statements Related to Operation of Surry Power Station, Units I and 2", dated May 1972 and 1une 1972 and more recent NRC policy.
,I Radioloaical Impacts:
Although the population in the vicinity of Surry, Units 1 and 2 has increased slightly, the site requirements of 10 CFR Part 100 are still met with regard to Exclusion Area Boundary, Low Population Zone, and nearest population center distances, and such changes do not significantly increase any environmental impacts. The net annualized environmental impacts attri-butable to the uranium fuel cycle, which form the basis for Table S3 of 10 CFR 51, remain essentially unchanged from those addressed in the FES. The annual en*vironmental impacts attributable to transportation of fuel and waste
~
I to and from the Surry Power Station, with respect to normal conditions of 1
l transport and possible accidents in transport, will be bound by the impact estimates discussed in the Surry FES.
In addition, the proposed additional years of reactor operation do not increase the annual public risk from reactor operation.
With regard to normal plant operation, the licensee complies with NRC i
guidance and requirements for keeping radiation exposures "as low as is reasonably achievable" (ALADA1 for occupational exposures and for I
radioactivity in effluents. The licensee would continue to comply with these requirements during any additional years of facility operation and also apply r
' advanced technology where available and appropriate. Accordingly, radiological impacts on man, both onsite and offsite, are not significantly'more severe than previously estimated in the FES and our previous cost-benefit conclusions remain valid.
Non-Radiolooical Impacts:
The NDC review identified no additional degradation of the habitat surrounding Surry Power Station with reoard to indigenous plant and animal species for the additional years of facility operation.
In addition, the National Pollutant Discharge Flimination System permit provides additional environmental protection.
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT:
The staff has reviewed the proposed change to the expiration dates of the Surry Power Station, Units 1 and 2 Facility Operating Licenses relative to the requirements set forth in 10 CFR Part 51. Based upon the environmental assessment, the staff concluded that there are no significant radiological or nonradiological impacts associated with the proposed action and that the proposed license amendments will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment. Therefore, the Commission has determined, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.31, not to prepare an environmental impact statement for the proposed amendments.
For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the request for amendments dated August 22, 1986 as supplemented by letters dated December 5, and December 10,1986,(2) the Final Environmental Statements Related to the Operation of Surry Power Station, Units 1 and 2, dated May 1977 and June 1972,
. and (3) the Environmental Assessm(-' dated December 24, 1986. These documents are available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, 1717 H Street, N.W., Washington, D. C., and at the Swem Library, College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia 23185.
Dated at Pethesda, Maryland, this 24th day of December,1986.
