SUBJECT:

NOTIFICATION OF TRIENNIAL FIRE PROTECTION BASELINE INSPECTION

(NRC INSPECTION REPORT 05000280/2006009 AND 05000281/2006009)

Dear Mr. Christian:

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

Region II staff will conduct a triennial fire protection baseline inspection at the Surry Power

Station, Units 1 and 2, in June 2006. The inspection team will be led by Mr. McKenzie Thomas,

NRC Senior Reactor Inspector, of the Region II Office. The team will be composed of

personnel from the NRC Region II Office and a contractor. The inspection will be conducted in

accordance with the NRCs baseline fire protection inspection procedure 71111.05T.

The inspection objective will be to evaluate your fire protection program implementation with

emphasis on post-fire safe shutdown capability and the fire protection features provided to

ensure at least one post-fire safe shutdown success path is maintained free of fire damage.

The inspection team will focus their review on the separation of the systems and equipment

necessary to achieve and maintain safe shutdown and the fire protection features of selected

fire areas.

On March 2, 2006, during a telephone conversation between Mr. Barry Garber, Surry Licensing

Supervisor, and Mr. Thomas, our respective staffs confirmed arrangements for a three-day

information gathering onsite visit and a two-week onsite inspection. The schedule for the

inspection is as follows:

Information gathering visit:

May 16-18, 2006

Week 1 of onsite inspection: June 12-16, 2006

Week 2 of onsite inspection: June 26-30, 2006

The purposes of the information gathering visit are to obtain information and documentation

needed to support the inspection, and to become familiar with the Surry Power Station fire

protection program, fire protection features, post-fire safe shutdown capabilities and plant

layout. The types of documents the team will be interested in reviewing, and possibly obtaining,

are listed in the Enclosure.

VEPCO

2

Please contact Mr. Thomas prior to preparing copies of the materials listed in the Enclosure.

The inspection team will try to minimize your administrative burden by specifically identifying

those documents required for inspection preparation.

During the information gathering visit, the team will also discuss the following inspection support

administrative details - office space; specific documents to be made available to the team in its

office space; arrangements for reactor site access (including radiation protection training,

security, safety and fitness for duty requirements); and the availability of knowledgeable plant

engineering and licensing organization personnel to serve as points of contact during the

inspection.

We request that during the inspection weeks you ensure that copies of analyses, evaluations or

documentation regarding the implementation and maintenance of the Surry Power Station fire

protection program, including post-fire safe shutdown capability, be readily accessible to the

team for its review. Of specific interest are those documents which establish that your fire

protection program satisfies NRC regulatory requirements and conforms to applicable NRC and

industry fire protection guidance. Also, personnel should be available at the site during the

inspection who are knowledgeable regarding those plant systems required to achieve and

maintain safe shutdown conditions from inside and outside the control room (including the

electrical aspects of the relevant post-fire safe shutdown analyses), reactor plant fire protection

systems and features, and the Surry Power Station fire protection program and its

implementation.

Your cooperation and support during this inspection will be appreciated. If you have questions

concerning this inspection, or the inspection team's information or logistical needs, please

contact Mr. Thomas at (404) 562-4673, or me at (404) 562-4669.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its

enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document

Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system

(ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-

Note: This is a broad list of the documents the NRC inspection team may be interested

in reviewing, and possibly obtaining, during the information gathering site visit. The

current version of these documents is expected unless specified otherwise. Electronic

media is preferred, if readily available. (The preferred file format is searchable .pdf

files on CDROM. The CDROM should be indexed and hyperlinked to facilitate ease of

use. Please provide 5 copies of each CDROM submitted.) Information in lists should

contain enough information to be easily understood by someone who has a knowledge

of the technology. The lead inspector will discuss specific information needs with the

licensee staff and may request additional documents.

Plant operating procedures used to implement the alternative shutdown capability from

outside the control room with a fire in either the control or cable spreading room (or any

other alternative shutdown area).

14.

Maintenance and surveillance testing procedures for alternative shutdown capability

(including Appendix R emergency lights and communication systems) and fire barriers,

detectors, fire pumps and fire suppression systems.

15.

Calculations and/or justifications that verify fuse/breaker coordination for the selected

fire areas/zones (to be determined during information gathering visit) that are fed off the

same electrical buses as components in the protected train. Also, a list of the

maintenance procedures used to routinely verify fuse/breaker coordination in

accordance with the post-fire safe shutdown coordination analysis.

Section III.G) used to achieve regulatory compliance for the selected fire areas/zones

(to be determined during information gathering visit). That is, please specify whether 3-

hour rated fire barriers (Section III.G.2.a), 20-foot separation along with detection and

suppression (Section III.G.2.b), 1-hour rated fire barriers with detection and suppression

(Section III.G.2.c), or alternative shutdown capability (Section III.G.3) is used for the

selected fire areas/zones.

temporary modifications, maintenance, and special operations, and their impact on fire

protection.

19.

features and evaluations of code deviations (i.e., a listing of the NFPA code editions

committed to (Code of Record)).

22.

The three most recent fire protection QA audits and/or fire protection self-assessments.

23.
