(continued)

INDIAN POINT 3 5.0 - 11 Amendment 232

Programs and Manuals 5.5 5.5 Programs and Manuals 5.5.8 Steam Generator (SG) Program A Steam Generator Program shall be established and implemented to ensure that SG tube integrity is maintained . In addition , the Steam Generator Program shall include the following :

a. Provisions for condition monitoring assessments. Condition monitoring assessment means an evaluation of the "as found" cond ition 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 the tubing during an SG inspection outage , as determined from the inservice inspection results or by other means , prior to the plugging of tubes. Condition monitoring assessments shall be conducted during each outage during which the SG tubes are inspected or plugged , to confirm that the performance criteria are being met.

b. Performance criteria for SG tube integrity. SG tube integrity shall be maintained by meeting the performance criteria for tube structural 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 range of normal operating conditions (including startup , operation in the power range, hot standby, and cool down) , all anticipated transients included in the design specification and design basis accidents. This includes retaining a safety factor of 3.0 against burst under normal steady state full power operation primary-to-secondary pressure differential and a safety factor of 1.4 against burst applied to the design basis accident primary-to-secondary pressure differentials . Apart from the above requirements , additional loading conditions associated with the design basis accidents, or combination of accidents in accordance with the design and licensing basis, shall also be evaluated to determine if the associated loads contribute significantly to burst or collapse. In the assessment of tube integrity, those loads that do significantly affect burst or collapse shall be determined and assessed in combination with the loads due to pressure with a safety factor of 1.2 on the combined primary loads and 1.0 on axial secondary loads.

2. Accident induced leakage performance criterion : The primary to secondary accident induced leakage rate for any design basis accident, other than a SG tube rupture , shall not exceed the (continued)

INDIAN POINT 3 5.0 - 13 Amendment 257

Programs and Manuals 5.5 5.5 Programs and Manuals 5.5.8 Steam Generator (SG) Program (continued) leakage 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 exceed 0.3 gpm per SG and 1 gpm through all SGs.

3. The operational LEAKAGE performance criterion is specified in LCO 3.4 .13, "RCS Operational LEAKAGE. "

c. Provisions for SG tube plugging criteria. Tubes found by inservice inspection to contain flaws with a depth equal to or exceeding 40% of the nominal tube wall thickness shall be plugged .

d. Provisions for SG tube inspections. Periodic SG tube inspections shall be performed . The number and portions of the tubes inspected 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 the tube-to-tubesheet weld at the tube inlet to the tube-to-tubesheet weld at the tube outlet, and that may satisfy the applicable tube plugging criteria . The tube-to-tubesheet weld is not part of the tube. In 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 as to ensure that SG tube integrity is maintained until the next SG inspection . A degradation assessment shall be performed to determine the type and location of flaws to which the tubes may be susceptible and , based on this assessment, to determine which inspection methods need to be employed and at what locations.

1. Inspect 100% of the tubes in each SG during the first refueling outage following SG installation.

2. After the first refueling outage following SG installation, inspect each SG at least every 72 effective full power months or at least every third refueling outage (whichever results in more frequent inspections) . In addition , the minimum number of tubes inspected at each scheduled inspection shall be the number of tubes in all SGs divided by the number of SG inspection outages scheduled in each inspection period as defined in a, b, c and d below. If a degradation assessment indicates the potential for a type of degradation to occur at a location not previously inspected with a technique capable of detecting this type of degradation at this location and that may satisfy the applicable tube plugging criteria, the minimum number of locations inspected with such a capable inspection techn ique during the remainder of the inspection period may be prorated .

The fraction of locations to be inspected for this potential type of degradation at this location 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 inspected in the inspection period after the determination that a new (continued)

INDIAN POINT 3 5.0 - 14 Amendment 257

Programs and Manuals 5.5 5.5 Programs and Manuals 5.5.8 Steam Generator (SG) Program (continued) form of degradation could potentially be occurring at this location divided by the total number of times the SG is scheduled to be inspected in the inspection period . Each inspection period defined below may be extended up to 3 effective full power months to include a SG inspection outage in an inspection period and the subsequent inspection period begins at the conclusion of the included SG inspection outage.

a) After the first refueling outage following SG installation, inspect 100%

of the tubes during the next 144 effective full power months. This constitutes the first inspection period ;

b) During the next 120 effective full power months, inspect 100% of the tubes. This constitutes the second inspection period ;

c) During the next 96 effective full power months, inspect 100% of the tubes. This constitutes the third inspection period; and d) During the remaining life of the SGs, inspect 100% of the tubes every 72 effective full power months. This constitutes the fourth and subsequent inspection periods.

3. If crack indications are found in any SG tube, then the next inspection for each affected and potentially affected SG for the degradation mechanism that caused the crack indication shall not exceed 24 effective full power months or one refueling outage (whichever results in more frequent inspections). If definitive information , such as from examination of a pulled tube, diagnostic non-destructive testing , or engineering evaluation indicates that a crack-line indication is not associated with a crack(s),

then the indication need not be treated as a crack.

e. Provisions for monitoring operational primary to secondary LEAKAGE.
