Dear Mr. Burstein:
This refers to your letters of December 18 and December 23,1980 and to discussions held with members of your staff on December 24, 1980 r.egarding the recent Point Beach Unit 1 steam generator tube inspection.
As discussed with you on December 24, we completed our review of your inspection results on that date and found them acceptable for continued operation.
Also, based on recent inspection results and operating experience as it stands today, we agree that both your inspection schedule and plans for the next inspection are reasonable subject to the following conditions:
That you conduct a 2000 PSI primary-to-secondary and an 800 PSI A.
secondary-to-primary hydrostatic test as has been done in the past.
That you include support plate flow slots in your next inspection B.
as discussed with you on December 24th.
With respect to your operating conditions identified in your December 18 letter, item 4 (page 3) is not correct. Our Confirmatory Order for Modification of License dated November 30, 1979, portions of which are still in effect, requires, among other things, that you will not resume operation until we determine in writing that eddy current examinations are acceptable in the event of:
primary to secondary leakage in any steam generator in excess A.
of 500 gpd; or any two identified leaking tubes in any 20 calendar da'y period.
B.
Please refer to paragraphs 4,' 5' and 6 of this Order for the specific requirements.
In response to your comments regarding your. sleeving of tubes you are reminded that your Technical Specifications require that any tubes degraded greater than 40% nominal wall thickness are required to be taken out of service by plugging and that to sleeve such tubes, in lieu of plugging would require an amendment to your ifcense.
