Dear Mr. Denton:

RELOAD INFORMATION FOR CYCLE 6 SURRY NUCLEAR POWER STATION UNIT NO. 2 Surry Unit No. 2 completed its fifth cycle of operation on November 6, 1981. The purpose of this letter is to advise you of our plans for the Cycle 6 reload core.

The Cycle 6 reload'core was analyzed in accordance with the methodology documented in Westinghouse Topical Report WCAP-9272 entitled "Westinghouse Reload Safety Evaluation Methodology." The results of this analysis indicted that no key analysis parameters would become more limiting during Cycle 6 operations than the values assumed in the currently applicable safety analysis. Further, the analysis demonstrated that the current Technical Specifications, as approved* through Amendment No. 73, are appropriate and require no additional changes.

A detailed review of the Westinghouse methodology, analysis techniques and results has been conducted by our technical staff. In addition, a review has been performed by both the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Conunittee and the Safety Evaluation and Control staff. It has been determined that no unreviewed safety questions as defined in 10 CFR 50.59 will exist as a result of the Cycle 6 reload core.

Verification of the reload core will be performed through a startup physics testing program. Unless otherwise indicated, this program will be consistent with documentation provided in our topical report VEP-FRD-36A, "Control Rod Reactivity Worth Determination by the Rod Swap Technique," transmitted by our letter to you dated January 16, 1981 (Serial No. 023). This report is a revision of VEP-FRD-36, an fJ 00 J s
