SUBJECT:
WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 - CLOSEOUT OF GENERIC LETTER 2006-01, STEAM GENERATOR TUBE INTEGRITY AND ASSOCIATED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (TAC NO. MD0120)
Dear Mr. Walsh:
On January 20, 2006, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Generic Letter (GL) 2006-01, Steam Generator [SG] Tube Integrity and Associated Technical Specifications
[TSs] (Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML060200385). This GL requested that addressees either submit a description of their program for ensuring SG tube integrity for the interval between inspections or adopt alternative TS requirements for ensuring SG tube integrity.
By letter dated February 14, 2006 (ADAMS Accession No. ML060580170), Entergy Operations, Inc. (the licensee), responded to GL 2006-01 for the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 (Waterford Unit 3). This response stated that by application dated July 21, 2005 (ADAMS Accession No. ML052150133), the licensee requested changes to the TSs for Waterford Unit 3 to adopt the alternative TS requirements for ensuring SG tube integrity. The alternative TS requirements were modeled after Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Traveler, TSTF-449, Steam Generator Tube Integrity, Revision 4 (ADAMS Accession No. ML051090200).
On July 31, 2006 (ADAMS Accession No. ML062000169), the NRC staff issued TS amendments approving SG TSs modeled after TSTF-449, Revision 4, for Waterford Unit 3.
The NRC staff finds the licensees adoption of new SG TSs modeled after TSTF-449 to be an acceptable and complete response to GL 2006-01. This completes the NRC staffs efforts on TAC No. MD0120. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact me at (301) 415-3062.
Sincerely,
/RA/
