a. Testing frequencies applicable to the ASME Code for Operations and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (ASME OM Code) and applicable Addenda as follows:

ASME OM Code terminology Required interval for inservice testing for performing inservice activities testing activities Weekly < 7 days Monthly < 31 days Quarterly or every 3 months < 92 days Semiannually or every 6 months _ 184 days Every 9 months < 276 days Yearly or annually _ 366 days Biennially or every 2 years _ 731 days

b. The provisions of SR 3.0.2 are applicable to the above required intervals and to other normal and accelerated intervals specified as 2 years or less in the Inservice Testing Program for performing inservice testing activities;

5.5.8 Steam Generator (SG) Program A Steam Generator Program shall be established and implemented to ensure that SG tube integrity is maintained. In addition, the Steam Generator Program shall include the following provisions:

a. Provisions for condition monitoring assessments. Condition monitoring assessment means an evaluation of the "as found" condition of the tubing with respect to the performance criteria for structural integrity and accident induced leakage. The "as found" condition refers to the condition of the tubing during an SG inspection outage, as determined from the inservice inspection results or by other means, prior to the plugging of tubes.

Condition monitoring assessments shall be conducted during each outage during which the SG tubes are inspected or plugged to confirm that the' performance criteria are being met.

b. Performance criteria for SG tube integrity. SG tube integrity shall be maintained by meeting the performance criteria for tube structural integrity, accident induced leakage, and operational LEAKAGE.
