Where experience in similar plants with l

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

i b.

1he first sample inspection during each inservice inspection (subsequent to the preservice inspection) of each steam generator shall include:

1.

All nonplugged tubes that previously had detectable wall penetrations (> 20%) and 2.

Tubes in those areas where experience has indicated potential problems.

4 c.

The second and third sample inspections during each inservice inspection may be less than a full tube inspection by concentrating the inspection on those areas of the tube sheet array and on those portions of the tubes where tubes with imperfections were previously found.

Amendment Nos. 98 & 88 d.

The tube inspection shall be conducted according to 4.3.1.B.4.A'.B.

conducted according to 4.3.1.B.4.A.9.

If a tube does not permit the passage of the eddy a

The tube which did not allow passage of the eddy current probe shall be considered degraded.

of the total number of sleeved tubes in all 4 steam generators or all of the sleeved tubes in the generator chosen for the inspection 3

program, whichever is less.

These inspections will include both the tube and the sleeve.

lhe results of each sample inspection shall be classified into one of the following three categories:

Category insp.ection Results C -1 Less than 5% of the total tubes inspected are degraded tubes and none of the inspected tubes are defective.

C-2 One or more tubes, nut not more than 1% of the total tubes inspected are defective, or between 5% and 10% of

Imperfection means an exception to the dimensions, finish or contour of a tube from that' required by f abrication drawings or specifications.

Eddy-c.urrent testing indications below 20% of the nominal tube wall thickness, if detectable, may be considered as imperfections.

2.

Degradation means a service induced cracking, wastage, wear or general corrosion occurring on either inside or outside of a tube.

3.

Degraded Tube means a tube containing imperfections > 20% of the nominal wall thickness caused by degradation.

5.

Defect means an imperfection of such severity that it exceeds the Plugging or Repair Limit. A tube Amendment Nos. 98 & 88 containing a defect is defective.

Plugging Limit for sleeves means:

a.

for the area in the upper weld. joint, any imperfection produced by degradation shall be plugged unless it can be clearly demonstrated by a ylidiified Not technique that the imperfection is < 33% of the nominal wall thickness for I.D. imperfections or <40% thickness of the tube for 0.D.
