8 n NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 2 .E ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS WASHINGTON, D. C. 20556 August 12, 1986 MEMORANDUM FOR: Victor Stello, Jr.

Executive Director for Operations FROM: R. F. Fra cutiv irector, ACRS

SUBJECT:

PROPOSED POWER INCREASE FOR NORTH ANNA POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 Virginia Electric and Power Company (Licensee) filed an application for an amendment dated May 2,1985 to operate the North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and 2 at an increased power level from 2775 MWt to 2893 MWt.

This proposed change, which represents approximately a 4.2% power increase over the presently licensed core power, was brought to the attention of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards on August 9, 1985, but no action was taken by the Committee.

The North Anna Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) notes that the environmental analyses and accident evaluations were performed at a stretch core power rating of 2900 MWt and an NSSS power rating of 2910 MWt. I understand that the NRC Staff anticipates approval of this power increase by mid-August 1986.

During its 316th meeting, August 7-9, 1986, the ACRS concluded that this power level increase does not warrant review by the Committee.
