Dear Mr. Denton:

Serial No. 915 NO/WRM:ms Docket Nos. 50-280 50-281 License Nos. DPR-32 DPR-37 AMENDMENT TO OPERATING LICENSES DPR-32 AND DPR-37 SURRY POWER STATION UNITS NO. 1 AND 2 PROPOSED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGE Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, the Virginia Electric and Power Company requests an amendment, in the form of changes to the Technical Specificat1ons, to ing Licenses DPR-32 and DPR-37 for the Surry Power Station, Units No. 1 and 2. The proposed changes are enclosed. We received the letter of July 2, 1980 from Mr. D. G. Eisenhut to all surized water reactor licensees requesting the submittal of a license ment application to incorporate the recommended TMI-2 Lessons Learned Category A changes for the Appendix A Technical Specifications. The proposed Technical Specification changes enclosed for Surry Units 1 and 2 incorporate the tional limiting conditions of operation, surveillance requirements, and bases for the areas of instrumentation, the reactor coolant system, the auxiliary feedwater system, and administrative controls as outlined in the July 2, 1980 letter. The letter of August 15, 1980 from Mr. Thomas M. Novak to all Westinghouse pressurized water reactor licensees requested that we review the Technical Specifications and the procedures for Surry Power Station to .assure that fuel assemblies and control rods will not be inadvertently exposed during refueling operations. In our letter of September 16, 1980, we provided information concerning the existing operating procedures for North Anna and Surry Power Stations. The proposed Technical Specification changes enclosed revise the requirements for maintenance of minimum water levels above fuel assemblies during refueling operations. The letter of June 11, 1980 from Mr. D. G. Eisenhut to all operating surized water reactor licensees requested that we submit proposed Technical Specification changes to provide for redundancy in decay heat removal capability for all modes of facility operation. The proposed Technical fication changes enclosed revise the requirements for residual heat removal identified in the June 11, 1980 letter. These proposed changes will provide Surry Power Station Technical Specification requirements for residual heat removal which are identified in the June 11, 1980 letter. ()

• -Mr. *Harold R. Denton 2 VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY TO These proposed Technical Specification changes increase the margin of safety associated with the Technical Specifications being modified by requiring operability of equipment previously not* required.

The probability of rence or the consequences of an .accident or .malfunction of equipment important to safety and previously evaluated in the Safety Analysis Report is not increased by the proposed changes since these changes impose additional restrictions on operation and require more comprehensive instrumentation and surveillance. This request has been reviewed and approved by the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee and the System Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee. It has been determined that this request does not involve an unreviewed safety question. We have evaluated this request in accordance with the criteria in 10 CFR 170. 22. Since this request is based upon NRC positions, as outlined in the letters of June 11, 1980, July 2, 1980, and August 15, 1980, a Class III license amendment fee is required for Unit 1 and a Class I license amendment fee is required for Unit 2. Accordingly, a voucher check in the amount of $4,400.00 is enclosed in payment of the required fees. Attachments: Very truly yours, J. H. Ferguson Executive Vice President Power 1. Proposed Technical Specification Change 2. Voucher Check No. 41058 for $4,400.00 cc: Mr. James P. O'Reilly, Director Office of Inspection and Enforcement Region II r-' '
