The purpose of this letter is to inform DEC that the staff has completed its review of your response to GL 97-05, and that this review did not identify any concerns with the SG tube inspection techniques used at Oconee that would indicate DEC is not in compliance with the current licensing basis for the facility. This completes the staffs review of the GL for Oconee and closes the TAC numbers listed above.
