SUBJECT:

JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - RESPONSE TO GENERIC LETTER 2004-01, REQUIREMENTS FOR STEAM GENERATOR TUBE INSPECTIONS (TAC NOS. MC4819 AND MC4820)

Dear Mr. Stinson:

On August 30, 2004, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Generic Letter (GL) 2004-01, Requirements For Steam Generator Tube Inspections. The purpose of GL 2004-01 was to obtain information that would enable the NRC staff to determine whether licensees steam generator (SG) tube inspection programs comply with the existing tube inspection requirements (the plant technical specifications in conjunction with Appendix B to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 50 (10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B).

By letters dated October 25, 2004, and January 7, 2005, Southern Nuclear Operating Company responded to GL 2004-01 for Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant (Farley), Units 1 and 2. The NRC staffs review of your response to the GL did not identify any concerns with the inspection practices employed at Farley. The NRC staff, therefore, concludes that your SG tube inspection practices are in compliance with the existing tube inspection requirements.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at (301) 415-1842.

Sincerely,

/RA/
