DRAFT REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING STEAM GENERATOR TUBE INSPECTIONS CONDUCTED DURING THE SPRING 2011 REFUELING OUTAGE SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNIT NO. 2 DOCKET NO. 50-311 By letter dated October 24, 2011 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML11305A046), PSEG Nuclear LLC submitted a report to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) describing the results of the steam generator (SG) tube inspections conducted during the spring 2011 refueling outage (refueling outage 2R18) at Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Unit No. 2.
The NRC staff is reviewing your submittal and has determined that additional information is needed to complete its review. The specific information requested is addressed below.
- 1.
Please discuss the scope and results of any secondary side inspections. For example, were any visual inspections performed at the hatches, camera ports and feedring inspection port covers where loose nuts/bolts/washers were identified during the previous refueling outage to confirm the adequacy of the corrective actions? If loose parts were identified and not removed, or locations with possible loose part indications were not visually inspected, discuss the results of any evaluations performed to ensure these parts would not result in a loss of tube integrity for the period between inspections.
- 2.
During the last inspection, a 30 percent through-wall repair limit was implemented. It appears that a similar repair limit was not implemented during this outage. Please clarify.
Please indicate which tubes were plugged during the spring 2011 outage.
