Subject:
Duke Energy Corporation Oconee Nuclear Station, Unit 1 Docket No. 50-269 Steam Generator Inservice Inspection and Repairs Steam Generator Tube 30-day and 3-month Reports The Oconee Nuclear Station Technical Specification (TS) 5.5.10 establishes the Steam Generator (SG) tube surveillance program requirements for SGs. TS 5.6.8, a, requires a report to the NRC with the number of tubes repaired or plugged within 30 days of the completion of any plugging or repairs. In addition, TS 5.6.8.b, requires the results of a Steam Generator Tube Inservice Inspection be reported to the NRC within three months following completion of the inspection.
Both of the original Oconee Unit 1 SGs were replaced with new SGs in End-Of-Cycle outage No. 21 which began September 20, 2003. Neither tube plugging, repairs nor inservice inspections were performed on the original SGs since there were being removed from service.
The new SGs have been subjected to pre-service inspections per the requirements of the EPRI PWR Steam Generator Examination Guidelines, Revision 6, as committed to through NEI 97-06, Steam Generator Program Guidelines. These pre-service inspections, along with loose parts inspection and the post-installation startup testing establish the Operability of the replacement SG tubes.
Please address any questions to Robert C. Douglas at (864) 885-3073.
