SUBJECT: COMANCHE PEAK STEAM ELECTRIC STATION - NOTIFICATION OF
UPCOMING SUPPLEMENTAL INSPECTION FOR A WHITE FINDING - NRC
INSPECTION REPORT 05000445/2004-006; 05000446/2004-006
Dear Mr. Blevins:
In our letter to you dated February 13, 2004, we provided our conclusion that the failure to
identify and correct an indicated flaw in a steam generator tube during Refueling Outage 1RF08
was appropriately characterized as White because the tube failed in-situ testing. This failure
indicated a higher probability of inservice failure for the tube during postulated initiating events
and core damage sequences. In that letter, we also informed you that, since plant performance
for this issue has been determined to be in the regulatory response band, we intended to use
the NRC Action Matrix to determine the most appropriate NRC response for this event.
Accordingly, the purpose of this letter is to inform you that we plan to perform a Supplemental
Inspection, as provided in NRC Inspection Procedure 95001, during the week of March 1, 2004.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its
enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document
Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system
(ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-
rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,
/RA/
