SUBJECT:
GENERIC LETTER (GL) 97-05," STEAM GENERATOR TUBE INSPECTION TECHNIQUES," SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT, UNITS 1 AND 2 (STP)(TAC NOS.
MA0496 AND MA0497)
Dear Mr. Cottle:
4 The focus of GL 97-05 was to verify that licensee steam generator tube inspection practices were consistent with existing regulatory requirements and plant licensing basis.- STP Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC) responded to GL 97-05 on March 17,1998. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed its review of STPNOC's response.
STPNOC's response included a description and technical basis for all inspection techniques 1
used to size the depth of steam generator tube degradation at STP, The staff's review of this response did not identify any concerns with the steam generator tube inspection techniques j
. employed at STP that would indicate that STPNOC is not in compliance with the current
- licensing basis for this facility.
Sincerely, ORIGINAL SIGNED BY:
