- 1) Lunmnant Power letter, logged TXX-14127, from Rafael Flores to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission dated October 21, 2015, 2RF14 Steam Generator Inservice Inspection 180-Day Report
Dear Sir or Madam:
By means of the letter in Reference 1, Luminant Generation Company LLC (Luminant Power) previously submitted the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant (CPNPP) Unit 2 Model D5 steam generator tube inspection report for 2RF14 as required by Technical Specification 5.6.9.
Based upon questions provided by Mr. Balwant Singal of the NRC in an email dated March 17, 2015, Luminant Power hereby provides the following additional information regarding the report detailed in Reference 1. The attachment to this letter contains the NRC questions and Luminant Power's response immediately following each question.
This communication contains no new licensing basis commitments regarding Comanche Peak Unit 2.
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission TXX-15067 Page 2 04/16/2015 Should you have any questions, please contact Mr. Jim Barnette at (254) 897-5866 or James.bamette@luminant.com.
Sincerely, Luminant Generation Company LLC Rafael Flores By: 4r Fred-W.

- 1. For the seven tubes showing strong evidence of high residual stress, please discuss the following:
- a. Were these tubes low row or high row "-2 sigma" tubes, or was there some other indicator of the high residual stress?
Luminant Response:
These tubes were plugged based on the eddy current data showing evidence of high residual stress in accordance with EPRI SGMP Letter dated 9/1412004, "SGMP Information Letter on Example Methodology for Screening of Alloy 600TT Tubing for the Seabrook Elevated Stress Issue."
The following plugged tubes are considered to have U-bend offset signals indicative of elevated residual stress in low row tubes: R1C23, R1C89, R2C88, R2C92, R2C93, and R5C61 (all tubes were in SG 2). For SG 1, R27C28 is considered to contain possible elevated residual stress in a high row tube (-2 sigma tube).
- b. Has an analysis of all tubes in all four SGs been performed to identify all tubes with the potential of high residual stress?
Luminant Response:
Yes, screening of all Unit 2 tubes in all four SGs has been performed to identify low row tubes (rows I through 9) and high row tubes (row 10 and higher) that may contain eddy current signals indicative of tubes containing possible elevated residual stress.
- c. Are there any tubes with potentially elevated residual stress (low row offset,
-2 sigma tubes) in service? If so, how many?
Luminant Response:
Yes, there are potentially elevated residual stress tubes (both low row offset and -2 sigma tubes) in service. Table 1, shows the remaining potentially elevated residual stress tubes in each steam generator. These tubes are examined when the applicable SG is available for eddy current inspection.

- 2. Under Table 3D on page 14 of 25 of the Enclosure, a note mentions legacy indications being shown in blue/italic font, but none are shown in the table. Please confirm whether or not Table 3D does, in fact, include any legacy indications. If not, please include them in your response.
Luminant Response:
See revised Table 3D on page 3 of this attachment. Legacy indications resulting from parts removed from their vicinity in prior outages are shown in blue font, or with an asterisk (*) in the SGID column. The new indications are in black font.
- 3. Please discuss the results of your tube plug inspections. Were all plugs present and in their proper locations? Was any degradation observed?
Luminant Response:
Each plugged tube was inspected. No degradation was observed and each plug was present in their correct tube.
- 4. Table 3A of the Enclosure provides the number of anti-vibration bar (AVB) wear indications detected. Were all tubes with prior indications inspected (i.e., do the values in Table 3A provide the total number of AVB wear indications or just a subset of the total since a sampling program was implemented during RFO 14)?
Luminant Response:
Yes, all tubes with prior indications were inspected. Table 3A (page 4 of this attachment) provides the total number of AVB wear indications found since the first primary side inspection outage for Unit 2. The new AVB wear indications are only derived from the sampling program during RFO 14.
