5.5.7 Steam Generator (SG) Program A Steam Generator Program shall be established and implementrd to ensure that SG tube integrity is maintained . In addition , the Steam Generat r Program shall include the following :
- a. Provisions for condition monitoring assessments. Con , ition monitoring assessment means an evaluation of the "as found" condition of the tubing with respect to the performance criteria for structural integrity and accident induced leakage. The "as found" condition refers to the condition of he tubing during an SG inspection outage , as determined from the inservice ir.spection resu lts or by other means, prior to the plugging of tubes. Condition monitoring assessments shall be conducted during each outage dur1*~g which the SG tubes are inspected or plugged , to confirm that the perfor ance criteria are being met.
- b. Performance criteria for SG tube integrity. SG tube imtegrity shall be maintained by meeting the performance criteria for tube st uctural integrity, accident induced leakage, and operational LEAKAGE .
- 1. Structural integrity performance criterion : All in-service steam generator tubes shall retain structural integrity over the full ange of normal operating conditions (including startup, operation in the power range, hot standby, and cool down) , all anticipated transients inclyded in the design specification and design basis accidents. This includes1retaining a safety factor of 3.0 against burst under normal steady state fu 'lpower operation primary-to-secondary pressure differential and a safr ty factor of 1 .4 against burst applied to the design basis accident primary-to-secondary pressure differentials. Apart from the above require r ents, additional loading conditions associated with the design basis accidents, or combination of accidents in accordance with the desibn and licensing basis, shall also be evaluated to determine if the assobated loads INDIAN POINT 2 5.5 - 6 Amr dmen1 No. 2a1
Programs and Manuals I 5.5 5.5 Programs and Manuals 5.5.7 Steam Generator (SG) Program (continued}
contribute significantly to burst or collapse . In the assessment of tube integrity, those loads that do significantly affect burst or icollapse shall be determined and assessed in combination with the loads due to pressure with a safety factor of 1.2 on the combined primary loadb and 1.0 on axial secondary loads.
- 2. Accident induced leakage performance criterion : The primary to secondary accident induced leakage rate for any desigr basis accident, other than a SG tube rupture , shall not exceed the leak~ge rate assumed in the accident analysis in terms of total leakage rate for all SGs and leakage rate for an individual SG . Leakage is not to excteed 150 gpd per SG . I
- 3. The operational LEAKAGE performance criterion is pecified in LCO 3.4.13, "RCS Operational LEAKAGE ."
- c. Provisions for SG tube plugging criteria . Tubes found by ins~rvice inspection to contain flaws with a depth equal to or exceeding 40% of he nominal tube ti wall thickness shall be plugged .
The following SG tube alternate plugging criteria shall be applied as an alternative to the preceding criteria .
Tubes with service-induced flaws located greater than 18.9 inches below the top of the tubesheet do not require plugging . Tubes with service-induced flaws located in the portion of the tube from the topl of the tubesheet to 18.9 inches below the top of the tubesheet sh ~ ll be plugged upon detection. I
- d. Provisions for SG tube inspections. Periodic SG tube inspections shall be performed . The number and portions of the tubes inspecte~ and methods of inspection shall be performed with the objective of detecting flaws of any type (e.g., volumetric flaws , axial and circumferential cracks that may be present along the length of the tube, from 18.9 inches belo~ the top of the tubesheet on the hot leg side to 18.9 inches below the top f the tubesheet on the cold leg side, and that may satisfy the applicable tub plugging criteria. The tube-to-tubesheet weld is not part of the tube. IIn addition to meeting the requirements of d.1, d.2, and d.3 below, the inspection scope ,
inspection methods , and inspection intervals shall be such ~s to ensure 1
that SG tube integrity is maintained until the next SG inspe tion . A degradation assessment shall be performed to determine t e type and I

Progrj ms and Manuals I 5.5 5.5 Programs and Manuals 5.5.7 Steam Generator (SG) Program (continued) location of flaws to which the tubes may be susceptible a d, based on this assessment, to determine which inspection methods need t be employed and at what locations. I
- 1. Inspect 100% of the tubes in each SG during the first refueling outage following SG installation . I
- 2. After the first refueling outage following SG installatio~, inspect each SG at least every 48 effective full power months or at least every other refueling outage (whichever results in more frequent nspections). In addition , the minimum number of tubes inspected at ~ach scheduled inspection shall be the number of tubes in all SGs divided by the number of SG inspection outages scheduled in each rnspection period as defined in a, b, and c below. If a degradation asser sment indicates the potential for a type of degradation to occur at a location not previously inspected with a technique capable of det~cting this type of degradation at this location and that may satisfy the 9pplicable tube plugging criteria , the minimum number of locations inspected I
with such a capable inspection technique during the rema fnder of the inspection period may be prorated. The fraction of locations to be inspected for this potential type of degradation at this llocation at the end of the inspection period shall be no less than the ratio of the number of times the SG is scheduled to be inspectedi in the inspection period after the determination that a new form of deg l adation could potentially be occurring at this location divided by the total number of times the SG is scheduled to be inspected in the insp ection period .
1 Each inspection period defined below may be extended up to 3 effective full power months to include a SG inspectio~ outage in an inspection period and the subsequent inspection peribd begins at the conclusion of the included SG inspection outage.
a) After the first refueling outage following SG instal ation ,
inspect 100% of the tubes during the next 120 effrctive full power months. This constitutes the first inspectioI period ;
b) During the next 96 effective full power months, in pect 1
100% of the tubes. This constitutes the second i1spection period ; and c) During the remaining life of the SGs, inspect 1OOQo of the tubes every 72 effective full power months. This constitutes the third and subsequent inspection p riods.

- 3. If crack indications are found in any SG tube, then the ~ext inspection for each affected and potentially affected SG for the degra~ation mechanism that caused the crack indication shall not exceed 24 e.ffective full power months or one refueling outage (whichever results in more frequent inspections) . If definitive information, such as from examination of a 1
pulled tube, diagnostic non-destructive testing , or engi?eering evaluation indicates that a crack-line indication is not associateti with a crack(s) ,
then the indication need not be treated as a crack.
- e. Provisions for monitoring operational primary to secondary LEAKAGE.
