PANY M O N N E A PO LI S. M O N N E S OTA 55401 November 6,1979 Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 PRAIRIE ISIAND NUCLLAR GENERATING PiANT Docket No. 50-282 License No. DPR-42 50-306 DPR-60 Transmittal of No. 11 Steam Generator Tube Inspection Photographs NSP and Westinghouse representatives met with the NRC Staff on October 12, 1979 to discuss the Prairic Island No. 11 Steam Generator tube rupture of October 2, 1979.
NSP offered to transmit several sets of selected photo-graphs taken during the steam generator inspection.
The NRC meeting minutes requested three copies of pertinent pictures which show the loca-tion of springs, eroded and ruptured tubes, etc.
Enclosed are three sets of ten different photographs which show the significant observations made, and items found, during the inspection.
Additional photographs are on file at the plant for inspection.
The enclosed photographs have been numbered and a brief description of each follows:
Picture No.
Description 1-18A Views of tubes #3 and #4 on the hot leg side of the tube lace blocking device.
1-20A View of tubes #1, #2, and #3 on the hot leg side of the tube lane blocking device.
2-15 View of ruptured tube (#4).
2-24 View of spring on hot leg side of tube lane blocking device prior to tube lane blocking device removal. Also shows the first six tubes.
3-10A View of second spring and hose clamp on cold leg side of tube lane blocking device prior tu tube lane blocking device remove. l.
Note:
Color difference is because the photograph is in black and white.
