REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM STEAM GENERATORS SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS (Continued) 4.4.5.3 Inspection Frequencies - The above required inservice inspections of steam generator tubes shall be performed at the following frequencies:

a. The first inservice inspection following steam generator replacement shall be performed after 6 Effective Full Power Months but within 24 calendar months of initial criticality after the steam generator replacement. Subsequent inservice inspections shall be performed at intervals of not less than 12 nor more than 24 calendar months after the previous inspection. If two consecutive inspections, not including the preservice inspection, result in all inspection results falling into the C-1 category or if two consecutive inspections demonstrate that previously observed degradation has not continued and no additional degradation has occurred, the inspection interval may be extended to a maximum of once per 40 months; Note: Inservice Inspection is not required during the steam generator replacement outage.

Note: For Unit 1, a one-time inspection interval of a maximum of once per 44 months is allowed for the inspection performed immediately following 1RE1 0. This is an exception to 4.4.5.3a in that the interval extension is based on all of the results of one inspection falling into the C-1 category.

b. If the results of the inservice inspection of a steam generator conducted in accordance with Table 4.4-2 at 40-month intervals fall in Category C-3, the inspection frequency shall be increased to at least once per 20 months. The increase in inspection frequency shall apply until the subsequent inspections satisfy the criteria of Specification 4.4.5.3a.; the interval may then be extended to a maximum of once per 40 months; and

c. Additional, unscheduled inservice inspections shall be performed on each steam generator in accordance with the first sample inspection specified in Table 4.4-2 during the shutdown subsequent to any of the following conditions:

1) Primary-to-secondary tube leaks (not including leaks originating from tube-to-tube sheet welds) in excess of the limits of Specification 3.4.6.2, or

2) A seismic occurrence greater than the Operating Basis Earthquake, or

3) A loss-of-coolant accident requiring actuation of the Engineered Safety Features, or

4) A main steam line or feedwater line break.
