John E.
Maier Vice President Electric 8 Steam Production Rochester Gas 8 Electric Corporation 89 East Avenue Rochester, New York 14649
)
Dear Mr. Maier:
By letter dated November 6, 1980, you requested changes to the R.
E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Inservice Inspection Program for the 1980-1989 interval.
The program had been previously submitted by Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation letter dated July 2, 1979.
The requested changes dealt only with the potential sleeving of up to ten steam generator tubes.
The sleeving, already accomplished on five tubes at Ginna, is an alternative repair effort to plugging defective tubes.
We have reviewed only that portion of the inservice inspection program con-cerning the steam generator tubes because we are aware that you are consider-ing additional sleeving of tubes during the refueling outage presently scheduled to commence April 18, 1981.
We have the following comments:
(1)
Paragraphs 5.7.1.1 and 6.5 of the Inservice Inspection program address a sleeving limit of ten tubes.
You have already informed us that you are considering sleeving more than five additional tubes during the forthcoming out-age in order to prove that revised production techniques are satisfactory.
Therefore, we suggest that you modify the language of the Program to increase the maximum number of sleeved tubes and to include the statement that NRR approval is necessary prior to accomplishment of any additional sleeving.
We presently anticipate no problem in approval of limited additional sleeving (up
'o about 25 tubes) and of course will be interested in
- feedback, from future inspections, regarding the efficacy of the sleeving repair technique.,
(2)
A plugging limit for the "sleeved" tubes should be established and included in the Ptogram, along with the means to determine degradation of these
- tubes,
~e~w~
/
(3)
Paragraph 5.7.1.1 should be revised to state that both criteria (a) and (b) must be met prior to resumption of plant operation.
Criterion (b) should also be corrected to read:"... ~10%.,", and, (4)
Line 3 of Paragraph 3.5 should be changed to correctly state Reference 5 instead of Reference l.
We will be ready to discuss these changes with you at our meeting scheduled for Tuesday, April 21, 3981.
As noted above, we have only reviewed the Steam Generator Tube Inhervice Inspection Program.
We have no problem with your proceeding with this portion of the overall Inservice Inspection
- Program, contingent on'our satisfactory response to our comments above.
The remainder of your Pro'gram for the Ginna Station will be reviewed on a schedule being established by the staff.
