The licensee concluded that (1) the error of the ECT is +/-6%, (2) the thresh-hold of intergranular attack (IGA) quantification is about 303; the limit of_ detectability i.e. about 20%, (3) the volumetric IGA was initiated prior to 1978 and has had essentially a zero growth rate since 1978, and (4) the 4C4F probe technique detected a significant number of previously unidentified cracks in the 90° bends.
On April 10, 1984 the licensee discussed the technical evaluation of the steam generator tube inspection and plans for future operation.
The agenda and handouts are shown in Enclosure 4.
Based on the results of the steam generator tube evaluation, the licensee plans to plug all tubes with cracks and IGA defects of 51% through wall or greater maximum average depth as measured by the 4C4F probe.
A formal submittal of the material presented regarding the steam generator inspection and proposed plugging criteria
