VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY RICHMOND.., VIRGINIA 23261 R.H.LEASBUBG April 16, 1982 VxcE PREsXDENT NucLEAR OPERATIONS Mr. Harold R. Denton, Director Serial No. 229 Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation NO/RMT:acm Attn: Mr. Steven A. Varga, Chief Docket Nos. 50-280 Operating Reactors Branch No. 1 50-281 Division of Licensing License Nos. DPR-32 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission DPR-37 Washington, D. C. 20555 Gentlemen:

This letter report is furnished in accordance with the provisions of Surry Power Station Technical Specification 4.14.C.1.

During the period of 1000 hours0.0116 days <br />0.278 hours <br />0.00165 weeks <br />3.805e-4 months <br /> to 1100 hours0.0127 days <br />0.306 hours <br />0.00182 weeks <br />4.1855e-4 months <br />, April 3, 1982, the average rate of change of the Condenser Cooling Water Outlet Temperature was 4°F/hr. which exceeds the 3°F/hr. rate of change permitted by Technical Specification 4.14.A.3.

At the time of this event, Unit 1 was at 100% power and Unit 2 was at 95%

power.

After removal of Unit 1 "C" water box from service for cleaning a seventh circulating water pump was started. In response to an increasing canal level the the water box outlets were throttled opened and the groin temperature dropped at a rate greater than 3°F/hr. The operator then stopped water box throttling to allow groin temperature to stabilize. Personnel involved have been re-instructed on the importance of making gradual changes in flow through the water boxes.

A search was conducted to determine if the temperature change had affected the river environment. No detrimental evidence was found.

Very truly yours,

. Q\_~\-
