| Event Description | During the performance of Alloy 600 bare metal visual examinations, the presence of boric acid deposits indicated a leak in a weld in the steam generator D (EBB01D) bowl drain line.
This condition is being reported as a degraded condition on the primary coolant system under 10 CFR 50.72 (B)(3)(ii)(A). During investigation the defect was characterized as a 1/16" rounded indication in the drain line to boss weld.
