Sections 5.5.9, "Steam Generator (SG) Program" and TS 5.6.10, "Steam Generator Tube Inspection Report" for Permanent Alternate Repair Criteria Ladies and Gentlemen:
On May 19, 2009, Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) submitted a license amendment request to revise Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) Technical Specification (TS) 5.5.9, "Steam Generator (SG) Program", and TS 5.6.10, "Steam Generator Tube Inspection Report." The proposed changes would revise the inspection scope and repair requirements of TS 5.5.9, "Steam Generator (SG) Program", and the reporting requirements of TS 5.6.10, "Steam Generator Tube Inspection Report." The proposed changes would establish a permanent alternate repair criterion to exclude portions of the tube below the top of the steam generator tube sheet from periodic steam generator tube inspections. Westinghouse WCAP-17071-P, Revision 0, "H*: Alternate Repair Criteria for the Tubesheet Expansion Region in Steam Generators with Hydraulically Expanded Tubes (Model F)," was submitted as enclosure 5 and provides the basis for the proposed change.
On July 10, 2009, SNC received a request for additional information (RAI) letter, which contained twenty-four (24) questions. As a result of a teleconference with NRC staff held on July 30, 2009, SNC received a second request for additional information letter on August 5, 2009. The August 5, 2009 letter contained three (3) questions related to questions 4, 20 and 24 from RAI letter received on July 10, 2009. The August 5, 2009 letter also contained one (1) additional question.
On July 28, 2009, SNC received a request to provide clarification on 10 CFR 2.390(b)(4) proprietary information determinations contained in enclosure 5 of the May 19, 2009 letter.
