Docket NoQ0-280 and 50-281

Richmond, VA 23261

Gentlemen:

To verify that licensees have attained an adequate state of onsite emergency

preparedness, the Office of Ir.spection and Enforcement is conducting special

appraisals at each power reactor site. These appraisals are being performed in

lieu of certain routine inspections normally conducted in the area of emergency

preparedness. The objectives of the appraisal at each facility are to evaluate

the overall adequacy and effectiveness of emergency preparedness and to identify

areas of weakness that need to be strengthened. We will use the findings from

these appraisals as a basis not only for requesting individual applicant and

licensee action to correct deficiencies and effect improvements, but also for

effecting improvements in NRC requirements and guidance.

During the period of March 15-26, 1982, the NRC conducted an appraisal of the

emergency preparedness program at the Surry Power Station Units 1 and 2.

Areas

examined during this appraisal are described in the enclosed report (50-280,

281/82-05). Within these areas, the appraisal team reviewed selected procedures

an_d representative records, inspected emergency facilities and equipment,

observed work practices, and interviewed personnel.

Emergency preparedness deficiencies identified during this appraisal, for which

you have made acceptable commitments to resolve, were discussed in our confirma-

tory letter (Appendix A) dated April 6,1982.

If the deficiencies addressed in

the confirmatory letter are not corrected by the commitment dates, enforcement

action will be considered.

Further review of this emergency preparedness appraisal also indicates that there

are other areas that should be evaluated and considered for improvement in your

emergency preparedness program.

These areas are identified in Appendix

B,

" Preparedness Improvement Items", and are discussed in the body of the enclosed

report.
