RE: Columbia Condenser Tubes I know... I just can't put my hands on any documentation and I don't believe they are required to send us the information provided it meets the minimum guidelines in their tech specs. Ultimately we may not have it on the docket.

I'll see what I can do. I'm hoping to avoid an RAI, so I'm going to try and get an email response.

RE: Columbia Condenser Tubes Interesting. But I would not say that some article in a trade magazine constitutes documentation.

We do need something from the plant.

Paula, That's great--we all thought we remembered that. At least we're not crazy.

RE: Columbia Condenser Tubes I spoke with our Projects Manager. The condenser tubing was replaced during our last refueling outage in 2011. No admiralty brass remains in the condensers.

Columbia Condenser Tubes

Mohan, Do you by any chance know if the condenser tubing is still the original Admiralty Brass at Columbia?

Our consultation with National Marine Fisheries is asking us for this information and it appears there's been pressure on the licensee to change it. The last correspondence I can find in Adams is from 2006 indicating it still wasn't cost beneficial for them to do so (ML062650095).

Any insight and information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
