ST. LUCIE PLANT, UNIT 2 - Request for Additional Information (RAI) REGARDING THE SPRING 2014 STEAM GENERATOR TUBE INSPECTIONS (TAC NO. MF4847)

Importance: High Ken and Atanya, By letter dated September 18, 2014 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML14279A237), Florida Power & Light Company (the licensee) submitted information summarizing the results of the Spring 2014 steam generator tube inspections performed at St. Lucie, Unit 2.

These inspections were performed during refueling outage 21. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff summarized a conference call held with the licensee in a letter dated August 8, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14189A090).

The NRC staff has reviewed the information the licensee provided and determined that the following additional information is needed in order to complete the review. As we agreed during our conference call on Monday, January 26, 2015, please respond to these RAIs by March 26, 2015.

RAI-1 Clarify whether the U-bends of rows 1 and 2 were inspected with the bobbin probe.

RAI-2 Discuss the results of the Plug Visual Inspections. Were all plugs confirmed to be present and free of degradation?

RAI-3 Discuss the results of the Supplemental Primary Side Inspections to address Westinghouse NSAL 12-01. Was any degradation of the channel head cladding detected?

RAI-4 Discuss the results of the following Secondary Side Inspection and cleaning activities:

a. Upper Bundle Flush

b. Sludge Lance

c. Foreign object search and retrieval

d. Upper internals visual inspection RAI-5 Summarize the number of tubes and the number of indications associated with the tube support structures (anti-vibration bars, tube support plates, V-shaped pads, apex of anti-vibration bars).

RAI-6 One tube was plugged since it had wear associated with a neighboring tubes V-shaped support pad. Has this phenomenon been observed in the past? Are the V-shaped support pads in close proximity to the neighboring tubes? Would this occurrence be expected given the design (rigidity) of the anti-vibration bar support structure and the spacing between the tubes?

RAI-7 One tube was plugged since the length of the indication associated with the antivibration bar was shorter than most anti-vibration bar wear indications. Discuss any insights on this occurrence.

Thanks, Farideh 1
