'Ihe Surveillance Requirctnents for inspection ofthe steam generator mbes ensure that the strucniral integrity ofthis portion of the RCS willbe maintained, 'Ihe program for inservicc inspection of stcam generator tubes is based on a modification of Reguiatoty Guide 1.83, Revision 1. Inservice inspection of steam generator tubing is essential in order to maintain surveillance of the canditions of the tubes in the event that them is evidence of mechanical damage or progressive degradation due to design, manufacturing errors, or inscrviee conditions that lead to corrosion.
Inservice inspection of stcam generator tubing also provides a means of characterizing the nature and cause of any tube degradation so that conective measures can be taken, The plant is expected to be oiieratcd in a manner such that the secondary coolant willbe maintained within those chemistry limits found to tesult ln negHgible cortosion of the steam generator tubes. Ifthc secondgy coolant ciiemistty is not maintained within these parameter limits, IocaHzed corrosion may Hkely result m sttess conosion cracking. 'Ihe extent ofcracking during plant operation would be limited by the limitationofsteam generator tube leakage between the primary coolant system and the secondaty coolant system. The aHowable primaty<mecondary leak rate is 150 gaHons per day per steam generator.
Axial or circttmferetttiaHy.oriented cracks having a primary-to-secondary leakage less than this limitduring operation wiH have an adequate margin of 'safety to withstand the loads imposed during normal operation and by postulated accidents.
Leakage in excess of this limitwillrequire plant shutdown and an inspection, during which the leaking tubes willbe located and plugged or repaired. A steam generator while undergoing crevice flushing in Mode 4 is available for decay heat removal and is operable/
operating upon reinsuuement of auxiliary or main feed low control and steam control.
Wastage-type defects are unlikely with the aH volatHe torment (AVT)of secondary coolant.
However, even if a defect ofsimilar type should develop in service, itwillbe found during scheduled inservice steam generator tube examinations.
Plugging or sleeving wiH bc required for aH tubes with imperfections exceeding the tepair limit which is defined in Specification 4.4.5.4.a.
Steam generator tube inspections ofoperating plants have demonstrated the capability to reliably detect degradation that has penetrated 20% of the original tube waH thickness.

T t'ed The voltage-based repair limits of these surveillance requirements (SR) implement the guidance in GL 9545 and are'applicable only to Westinghousedesigned steam generators (SGs) with outside diameter stress corrosion cracking (ODSCC) located at the tube-to-tube support plate intersections.
The voltagekased repair limits are not applicable to other forms of SG tube degradation nor are they <<pplicable to QDSCC that occurs at other locations within the SG. Additionally, the repair criteria apply only to hdications where the degradauon mechanism is dominantly axial ODSCC with no NDE detectable cracks extending outside the thickness of the support plate.
Refer to GL 9545 for additional description of the degradation morphology.
hnplementation of these SRs requires a derivation of the voltage structural limit from the burst versus voltage empirica correlation and then the subsequent derivation of the voltage repair limitfrom thextructural limit(which is then implemented by this sutveillance).
The voltage structural limit is the voltage from the burst pressure/bobbin voltage correlation, at the 95-percent prediction interval curve reduced to account for the lower 95/95~t tolerance bound for tubing material properties at 650'F (i.e., the 95-percent LTLcurve). The voltage structural limitmust be adjusted downward to account for potential degradation growth during an operating interval and to account for NDE uncertainty.
The upper voltage repair limit;VUltL,is determined from the structural voltage limitby applying the followingequation:
E VURL VSL - VGr - VNDE where Vo, represents the allowance for degradauon growth between inspections and VNDErepresents the allowance for potential sources oferror in the measurement ofthe bobbin coil voltage. Further discussion ofthe assumptions necessary to determine the voltage repair limit are discussed in GL 9M5.
The mid~cle equation in SR 4.4.5.4.10.d should only be used during unplanned inspections in which eddy current data is acquired for indications at the tube support plates.
SR 4.4.5.5 implements several reporting requirements recommended by GL 9545 for situations which the NRC
'wants to be notified prior to returning'he SGs to service, For the purposes ofthis reporting requirement, leakage and conditional burst probability can be calculated based on the as-found voltage distribution rather than the projected endwf~cle (EOC) voltage distribution (refer to GL9545 for more information) when it is not practical to complete these calculations using the projected EOC voltage distributions prior to rettttning the SGs to service.
Note that ifleakage and conditional burst probability were calculated using the measured EOC voltage distribution for the purposes of addressing the GL section 6.a.l and 6.a,3 reporting criteria, then the results of the projected EOC voltage distribution should provided per the GL section 6.b (c) criteria.
%des experiencing outer diameter stress corrosIon cracking within the thickness of the mbe support plates are plugged or repaired by the criteria of 4.43.4.a. 10.

Whenever the results of any stcam generator tubing inservicc inspection fail into Category C-3, these, results will be promptly reported to the Commission pursuant to SpecUication 6.9.1 priorto resumption ofplant operation. Such cases willbe considered by the Commission on a case4y~
basis and may result in a requirement for analysis, laboratory examinations, tats, additional eddywurrent insIcction, and revision of the Tcchnical Specifications, if scccssaty.
Degraded steam generator tubes may be repaired by the hstallation ofsleeves which span the section of degraded stcam generator tubing. h steam generator tube with a sleeve installed tnccts the structural rcquumncnts of tubes which are not degraded, To determine the basis for the sleeve plugging limit, the minimum sleeve wall thickness was calculated in accordance with Draf't Regulatory Guide 1.121 (August 1976). In addition, a combined allowance of 20 percent of wall thickness is assumed for eddy current testing inaccuracies and continued operational degradation per Draft Regulatory Guide 1.121 (August 1976).
'Ihc following sleeve designs have been found acceptable by the NRC staff:

G The RCS leakage detection systems required by this specification are provided to monitor and detect leakage from the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundaty.
Qesc detection systems are consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.45, Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Leakage Daeaion Systems, May 1973.

Indusay experience has shown that whBe a Hmited amount of leakage is cxpeaed from the RCS, the unidentified portion of this leakage can be reduced to a threshold value ofless than I gpm. Thh threshold value is sufficicntly Iow to ensure early deteaion of additional leakage.
The 10 GPM IDENTIFIEDLFM(AGEHmitations provides allowance for a Hmited amount ofleakage from known sources whose presence will not interfere with the detection of UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE by the leakage
'daection systems.
l The Hmitation on seal line resistance ensures that the seal line resistance is greater than or equal to the resistance asst tmed in the minimum safeguards LOCAanalysis. This analysis assumes that all ofthe flowthat is diverted from the boron injection Hne to the seal injection line is unavailable for core cooling.
Maintaining an operating leakage limitof 150 gpd per stcam generator (600 gpd total) willmittimixc the potential for a large leakage event during steam line break under LOCAconditions.
Based on the NDE uncertainties, bobbin coil voltage distribution and crack growth rate from the previous inspection, the expected leak rate followinga steam line rupture is limited to below 8.4 gpm which wiH ensure the calculated offsite doses willremain within 10 percent ofthe 10 CFR 100 requirements and that control zoom habitability continues to meet GDC-19. Leakage in the intact loops is limited to 150 gpd. Ifthe projected end of cycle distribution of crack indications results in primary-to-secondary leakage greater than 8.4 gpm in the faulted loop during a postulated steam line brcak event, additional tubes must be removed from service in order to reduce the postulated primary~secondar stcam line break leakage to below 8.4 gpm.
Also, the 150 gpd leakage limitincorporated into this specification is more restrictiv than the stanthrd operating leakage Hmit and is intended to provide an additional margin to accommothte a crack which might grow at a greater than expected rate or unexpectyHy extend ouside the thickness of the the tube support plate.
Hence, the reduced Ieakage limit, when combined with an effective leak rate monitoring program, provides additional assurance that should a significant leak be experienced In service, it wiH be detected and the plant shut down in a timely manner.
PRESSURE BOUNDARYLEAIChGEofany magnitude is unacceptable since it may be indicative ofan impending gross failure ofthe pressure boundary.
Should PRESSURE BOUNDARYLEAI&GEoccur through a component which can be isolated from thc balance of the Reactor Coolant System, plant operation may continue provided the leaking component is promptly isolated from the Reactor Coolant System since isolation removes the source of potential failure.
