MAIN COOLANT SYSTEM SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS (Continued) c.

Inspections Following System Opening The structural integrity of the Main Coolant System shall be demonstrated af ter each closing by performing a leak test, with the system pressurized to at least 2200 l

psig, in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, 1970 Edition, and Addenda through Winter 1970, and the I

Pressure /Teeperature limits.of Specification 3.4.8.1.

1 4.4.9.2* The following inspection program shall be performed at least once per l

18 months during shutdown on at least one shroud tube per quadrant.

1 a.

Inspect the integrity of the bolts and locking devices in the lower flange at the bottom of the shroud tubes.-

b.

-Inspect the interface between the shroud tube lower flange and the tie plate for separation.

c.

Inspect the interface between the shroud tube upper flange and the top shroud tube support plate for separation.

}

d.

Inspect the interface between the top shroud tube support plate and the lower core support plate for separation.

e.

Inspect for abnormalities one of each of the types of bolts per.

quadrant.

4.4.9.3* The pressurizer interior shall be inspected at least once per 18 months during shutdown using the best available techniques to determine if any change has occurred in the cladding cracks that exist and whether any further cracking of the cladding has taken place.

9 4.4.9.4 The 2" charging line between CH-MOV-524 and CH-611A shall be dye penetrant tested at least once per 18 months during shutdown.

  • The intent of the 18 month surveillance requirements for Sections 4.4.9.2 and i

4.4.9.3 is that these surveillances would be performed on a refueling basis.

For this reason, as well as ALARA considerations, the surveillance 4

l requirements of sections 4.4.9.2 and 4.4.9.3 are exempt during the 1980 Turbine Failure outage.

i MAIN COOLAlfr SYSTEM STEAM GENERATORS.

LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.4.10 Each steam generator in a non-isolatec main coolant loop shall be OPERABLE.

APPLICABILITY : MODES 1, 2, 3 and 4.

ACTION:

With one or more steam generators in non-isolated main coolant loops

' inoperable, restore the inoperable generator (s) to OPERABLE status prior to increasing T about 2000F.

avg SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.4.10.1*

Steam Generator Sample Selection and Inspection - Each steam generator shall be determined OPERABLE during shutdown by selecting and inspecting at least -the minimum number of steam generators specified in Table 4.4-4.

4.4.10.2 Steam Generator Sample Selection and Inspection - The steam generator tube minimum sample size, inspection result classification ano the corresponding action required shall be as specified in Table 4.4-5.

The inservice inspection of steam generator tubes shall be performed at the frequencies specified in Specification 4.4.10.3 and the inspected tubes shall be verified acceptable per the acceptance criteria of Specification 4.4.10.4.

The tubes selected for each inservice inspection shall include at least 3% of the. total number of tubes in all steam generators; the tubes selected for these inspections shall be selected on a random basis except:

Where experience in similar plants with similar water chemistry a.

indicates critical areas to be inspected, then at least 50% of the tubes inspected shall be from these critical areas.

b.

The first sample of tubes selected for each inservice insp.:ction of each steam generator shall include:

1.

All nonplugged tubec that previously had detectable wall penetrations ( 20%).

2.

Tubes in those areas where experience has indicated potential problems.

  • The intent of the 18 month surveillance requirement for Section 4.4.10.1 is that this -surveillance would be performed on a refueling basis. For this reason, as well as ALARA considerations, the surveillance requirement of sections 4.4.10.1 is exempt during the 1980 Turbine Failure outage.

' Inspection Frequencies The above required inservice inspections l

4.4.10.3*

of steam generator tubes shall be performed at the following frequencies:

Inservice inspections shall be performed at intervals.of not less a.

than 12 nor more than 24 calendar months after the previous inspection. If two consecutive inspections result in all inspection i

results f alling into the C-1 category of if two consecutive inspections demonstrate that prev!,usly observed degraded has not i

continued and, no additional degradation has occurred, the inspection interval may be extended to a maximum of once per 40 months.

1 b.

If the results of the inservice inspection of a steam generator 3

conducted in accordance with Table 4.4-5 at

',0 month. intervals fall in Category C-3, the inspection frequency shall be increased to at least once per 20 months. The increase in inspection frequency shall apply until the subsequent inspections satisfy the criteria of Specification 4.4.10.3.a; the interval may then be extended to a maximum of once per. 40 months.

1 c.

Additional, unscheduled inservice inspections shall be performed on

]

each steam generator in accordance with the first sample inspection specified in Table 4.4-5 during the shutdown subsequent to.any of i

the following conditions:

1.

Primary-to-secondary tubes leaks (not including leaks originating from tube-to-tube sheet welds) in excess of the limits of Specification 3.4.5.2.

'2.

A loss-of-coolant accident requiring actuation of the engineered safeguards.

3.

A main steam line or feedwater line break.
