- s 2 and Class 3 components were(bsen based on Regulatory Guide 1.26 and ANSI N18.2 and N18.2a "Nuclear Safety Criteria for the Design of stationary Pressurized Water Reactor Plants."
The Surveillance Requirements for inspection of the steam generator tubes ensure that the structural integrity of this portion of the RCS will be maintained. The program for inservice inspection of steam generator tubes is based on a modification of Regulatory Guide 1.83, Revision 1.
Inservice inspection of steam generator tubing is essential in order to maintain surveillance of the conditions of the tubes for evidence of mechanical damage or progressive degradation. Inservice inspection of steam generator tubing also provides a means of characterizing the nature and cause of any tube degradation so that corrective measures can be taken.
Wastage-type defects will be minimized with proper chemistry treatment of the secondary coolant. If defects or significant degradations should develop in service, this condition is expected to be detected during inservice steam generator tube examinations. Plugging will be required for all tubes with imperfections exceeding the plugging.limit.
Steam generator tube inspections by means of eddy current testing have demonstrated the capability to reliably detect degradation that has penetrated 20% of the original tube wall thickness.
Whenever the results of any steam generator tubing inservice inspection fall into Category C-3, these results will be reported to the Commission prior to resumption of plant operation. Such cases will be considered by the Commission on a case-by-case basis and may result in a requirement for analysis, laboratory examinations, tests, additional eddy current inspection, and revision of the Technical Specifications.
4.2.2 Materials Irradiation Surveillance Specimens The reactor vessel material surveillance specimens shall be removed and examined to determine changes in their material properties, as required by Appendix H to 10CFR50.
4.2.3 Primary Pump Flywheels The flywheels shall be visually examined at the first refueling after each ten year inspection. At the fourth refueling after each ten year inspection and at each fourth refueling thereafter, the outside surfaces shall be examined by ultrasonic methods. The examinations scheduled for Refueling Outage 17. in 1996, may be deferred to Refueling Outage 18.
