SUBJECT:

Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1; Docket No. 50-317 Report of Steam Generator Tube Plugging

REFERENCE:

Technical Specifications, Calvert Cliffs Unit 1 (b)

Letter to James M. Taylor, from A. E. Lundvall, Jr., dated May 28,1985 ATTACHMENT:(1)

Tubes Plugged #11/#12 Steam Generator Gentlemen:

This letter supplements Reference (b), which provided an initial report of Steam Generator Tube Plugging. Additional Eddy Current Testing (ECT) was performed on Unit 1 due to the extended outage caused by the Unit I main generator repairs. Three additional tubes were found to have service induced degradation which exceeded the Technical Specification plugging limit of 40% loss of nominal wall thickness, one in #11 Steam Generator and two in #12 Steam Generator.

The number of tubes examined by ECT were in addition to the 11,070 tubes examined in May 1985 as reported in Reference (b). Indications of 20% thru wall degradation or greater were found on a total of 144 tubes from the approximately 5,832 additional tubes examined (3,270 - #11 Steam Generator and 2,562 - #12 Steam Generator). As stated above, three of these indications exceeded the plugging limit of 40% loss of nominal wall and required the tube to be plugged. The indications were all of a small volume and small area nature.
