In-situ Pressure Testing
- Measures ability of tube to meet NEI 97-06 performance criteria during condition monitoring
- Utilizes latest EPRI guidelines for candidate selection and testing
- Have in-situ pressure tested -80 tubes at SONGS during eleven prior inspections 10
Repair plans
- Repair
- All indications exceeding Technical Specification repair criteria (44% throughwall)
- All wear indications > 30% throughwall
- All crack-like indications a Circumferentially oriented indications will be stabilized
S ONGS 2 Current Repair Status
- SONGS Unit 2
- One steam generator has 939 tubes plugged and 345 tubes sleeved for an effective plugging percentage of 10.2%.
- The other steam generator has 960 tubes plugged and 189 tubes sleeved for an effective plugging percentage of 10.4%.
12
SONGS 3 Current Repair Status
- SONGS Unit 3
- One steam generator has 704 tubes plugged and no tubes sleeved for a plugging percentage of 7.6%.
- The other steam generator has 651 tubes plugged and no tubes sleeved for an plugging percentage of 7.0%.
13
Tube Plugging Limit
- The tube plugging limit for each unit is a maximum of 2000 tubes in any steam generator.
This corresponds to a plugging percentage of 21.4%. The plugging limit is an input to the UFSAR Chapter 15 safety analyses and affects RCS flow and corresponding linear heat rate limits on the fuel. The plugging limit is not specified in the plant license, but the minimum RCS flow and linear heat rate limits are part of the plant license.
14
Obstructed Sleeves
- Water pressure buildup between sleeve and parent tube caused sleeve inner diameter to reduce and preclude eddy current inspection. Affected sleeves (10) were plugged. Safety analysis now assumes all sleeves fully collapse and act as plugs.
- Root cause of SONGS water ingress not determined. Lower joint is most likely source.
- Problem appears isolated to sleeves installed in 3 rd of 4 installation campaigns.

Sleeve Obstruction - Potential Outcomes
- No further obstruction detected in any installed sleeves
- Continue to sleeve as normal
- Additional obstruction limited to only 3 rd batch
- Conclude problem is limited to 3rd batch only and assume all 3rd batch sleeves are plugged for safety analysis
- Continue to sleeve as normal
- Additional obstruction limited to only 4 th batch
- Conclude problem is limited to new batch only and assume all new batch sleeves are plugged for safety analysis
- Continue to sleeve as normal
- Additional obstruction occurs in more than one batch
- Consider discontinuing sleeving
- May result in plugging all in-service sleeves 17
Sleeve Inspection Issue
- Lower joint of sleeve has nickel band to enhance leak tightness. Nickel band degrades eddy current inspection capability of parent tube behind nickel band.
- Westinghouse updating position paper discussing acceptability of joint configuration. Updated position paper to be sent to the NRC as resolution of outstanding GL 2004-01 RAI questions.
- Targeted response submittal is September 2005 18
Technical Specification Change Request
- Tubesheet Inspection Extent
- Generic License Change Package
- SCE plans to request Technical Specification changes to address both issues in October 2005 19
Tubesheet Inspection Extent
- Generic Letter 2004-01 was issued outlining the NRC position with respect to inspections within the tubesheet.
- As part of an Owner's Group project, Westinghouse is updating a Topical Report to support and define an appropriate inspection extent for both hot leg and cold leg exams
- A license amendment request will be submitted to redefine the inspection extent consistent with the GL 2004-01 template.

Expansion Typical Transition Tubesheet Crack Secondary Face Locations Expanded Tubing For Illustration Purposes Only 21
Generic License Change Package
- The industry has been working with the NRC on a steam generator Generic License Change Package (GLCP). This has resulted in a Technical Specification Task Force proposed change to Standard Tech Specs (TSTF-449, Rev
- 4) issued April 2005. On May 6, 2005, the NRC issued a model application to allow utilities to implement TSTF-449, Rev 4 using the Consolidated Line Item Improvement Process (CLIIP)
- SCE intends to submit a license amendment utilizing the CLIIP process. Targeted submittal is October 2005.
22
Proposed Steam Generator Replacement
- In October 2004, replacement steam generators were ordered and are currently being fabricated by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan
- Design is similar to Arkansas 2 and Fort Calhoun replacements
- SCE requested California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) approval for ratepayer funding of replacement steam generators
- CPUC hearings held in February 2005. SCE expects a ruling by the end of 2005.
- SONGS 2 replacement scheduled for fall of 2009
- SONGS 3 replacement scheduled for fall of 2010 23
S ummary
- We will continue to perform comprehensive steam generator inspections at the next refueling outage incorporating industry operating experiences
- The bounding conditions for sleeve issues will be defined by the results of the upcoming inspections.
- We are seeking approval of two Technical Specification change requests to be submitted in the near future 24
