Serial No.09-344 Docket No. 50-338 180-Day SG Report Page 1 of 4 SPRING 2009 - NORTH ANNA UNIT 1 STEAM GENERATOR INSPECTIONS The following satisfies the North Anna Power Station Technical Specification (T8) reporting requirement section 5.6.7.

During the North Anna spring 2009 refueling

outage, steam generator (8G) inspections in accordance with TS 5.5.8.d were completed for two of the three steam generators ("B" and "C").

This was the second inspection under the modified Technical Specifications resulting from the TSTF-449 generic specification issued to the industry.

Initial entry into Mode 4 occurred on March 31, 2009 (11 :05 Hrs). Therefore, this report is required to be submitted by September 27, 2009.

Italicized wording represents TS verbiage.

The required information is provided under each reporting requirement as follows:

A report shall be submitted within 180 days after the initial entry into Mode 4 following completion of an inspection performed in accordance with the Specification 5.5.8, "Steam Generator (SG) Program." The report shall include:

8. The scope of inspections performed on each SG The following primary side inspections were performed in steam generators "B" and Video examination of all four channel heads (as-tound/as-lett),

specifically including all plugs.

100% full-lanqth tube inspection utilizing bobbin coil probe for all tubes except for Row 1 U-bends.

20% (720 tubes in SG Band 719 tubes in SG C) hot leg top-ot-tubsshset (+/- 3")

utiliZing a rotating coil probe with tube selection biased toward secondary side critical areas in the sludge zone, peripheral area tubes, and the remainder across the tubesheet.

100% Row 1 (98 tubes in each SG) of the U-bend region utilizing rotating coil probe.

Special interest inspections dents/dings (> 2 volts) with a rotating coil probe (Sample size: SG "B" 88% of hot leg indications, 33% all locations; SG "O" 76%

of hot leg indications, 35% all locations).

Special interest inspections of all bulge indications (> 2 volts) with a rotating coil probe. (SG "B" - 5 inspections; SG "C" - 2 inspections)

Rotating coil probe inspection of bobbin identified I-codes (i.e.

possible indications) (Sample size: SG "B" - 5 tests; SG "C" - 0 tests).

Special interest of largest voltage tubesheet overexpansions (OXP) with a

rotating coil probe (Sample: SG "B" 20 hot leg tests and 4 cold leg tests; SG "C" 38 hot leg tests and 4 cold leg tests).

Serial No.09-344 Docket No. 50-338 180-Day SG Report Page 2 of 4 The following secondary side inspections were performed in steam generators "8" and "G":

Steam drum upper components visual inspection, which included the primary and secondary moisture separators, drain piping, and related components.

Video inspection of the upper tube bundle U-bend area.

Video inspection of the uppermost tube support plate (TSP), which included the i h TSP in the periphery area and in-bundle at selected tube columns.

The 4th, 51h, and 6th TSPs were also video inspected in the center bundle area accessed from the i h TSP.

Video inspection of the inside interface of the feed ring to J-nozzle joints.

High pressure water lancing was performed in all steam generators with post-lancing top-of-tubesheet video inspections to check for cleanliness and the presence of foreign objects.

b. Active degradation mechanisms found No indications of tube degradation were identified in steam generators "B" and "G".

The only indication of tube degradation identified was the superficial scratching/wear identified on the secondary side of the SG "A" when a foreign object (carbon steel metal shaving) was removed after sludge lancing.

The secondary side visual inspections performed on the upper internals of the "B" and "C"

steam generators indicated no component degradation that would compromise tube integrity.

c. Nondestructive examination techniques utilized for each degradation mechanism Inspections focused on the following degradation mechanisms listed in Table 1 utilizing the referenced eddy current techniques.

d. Location, orientation (if linear), and measured sizes (if available) of service induced indications No tube wall degradation was detected during the eddy current examinations of steam generators "B" and "C".
e. Number of tubes plugged during the inspection outage for each active degradation mechanism No tubes were plugged during the subject inspection.

f.

Total number and percentage of tubes plugged to date A total of two (2) tubes have been plugged in the North Anna Unit 1 steam generators.

Specifically, "A" - 0 (0%), "B" - 0 (0%), "C" - 2 (0.06%) with an overall tube plugged percentage of 0.02 %.

g. The results of condition monitoring, including the results of tube pulls and tn-situ testing The Condition Monitoring Evaluation was completed and steam generators "B" and "C" did not exceed any performance criteria during the last cycle since the fall 2007 inspections.

No findings during the spring 2009 inspection of steam generators "B" and "C" invalidated the previous operational assessment for any of the three steam generators. Condition monitoring requirements were met. Therefore, tube pulls and in-situ pressure testing were not necessary.

h. The effective plugging percentage for all plugging in each SG There are no sleeves installed in the North Anna Unit 1 steam generators therefore, the effective plugging percentage remains the same as stated in (f) above.
