You proposed to delete reference to sleeving as a repair method in the TMI-1 TSs. You indicated that TMI-1 will not install additional sleeves without prior NRC approval.
However, there are sleeves currently installed at TMI-1. Please provide the inspection and repair criteria, including technical bases, for the existing sleeved tubes. Please discuss how your proposed TS 6.19, Steam Generator (SG) Program, ensures that sleeved tube integrity is maintained. Also, clarify whether you are planning to add the above described criteria in the TMI-1 TSs. If not, explain.
