CALLAWAY PLANT 5.0-10 Amendment No. 222 Programs and Manuals 5.5
5.5 Programs and Manuals
5.5.9 Steam Generator (SG) Program (continued)
with respect to the performance criteria for structural integri t y a n d a c c i d e n t induced leakage. The "as found" condition refers to the condit ion of the tubing during a SG inspection outage, as determined from the in service inspection results or by other means, prior to the plugging of tubes.
Condition monitoring assessments shall be conducted during each outage during which the SG tubes are inspected or plugged to confirm t hat the performance criteria are being met.
- b. Performance criteria for SG tube integrity. SG tube integrity shall be maintained by meeting the performance criteria for tube structu ral integrity, accident induced leakage, and operational LEAKAGE.
- 1. Structural integrity performance criterion: All in-service st eam generator tubes shall retain structural integrity over the full range of normal operating conditions (including startup, operation in the power range, hot standby, and cooldown), all anticipated transi ents included in the design specification, and design basis accident s.
This includes retaining a safety factor of 3.0 (3DP) against burst under normal steady state full power operation primary-to-secondary pressure differential and a safety factor of 1.4 agai nst burst applied to the design basis accident primary-to-secondary pressure differentials. Apart from the above requirements, additional loading conditions associated with the design basis accidents, or combination of accidents in accordance with the design and licensing basis, shall also be evaluated to determine if the associated loads contribute significantly to burst or collapse.
In the assessment of tube integrity, those loads that do significantly affect burst or collapse shall be determined and assessed in combination with the loads due to pressure with a safety factor of 1.2 on the combined primary loads and 1.0 on axial secondary loads.
- 2. Accident induced leakage performance criterion: The primary t o secondary accident induced leakage rate for any design basis accident, other than a SG tube rupture, shall not exceed the leakage rate assumed in the accident analysis in terms of total leakage rate for all SGs and leakage rate for an individual SG.
Leakage is not to exceed 1 gpm total for all four steam generat ors.
- 3. The operational LEAKAGE performance criterion is specified in LCO 3.4.13, "RCS Operational LEAKAGE."

- c. Provisions for SG tube plugging criteria. Tubes found by ins ervice inspection to contain flaws with a depth equal to or exceeding 40% of the nominal tube wall thickness shall be plugged.
- d. Provisions for SG tube inspections. Periodic SG tube inspections shall be performed. The number and portions of the tubes inspected and methods of inspection shall be performed with the objective of detecting flaws of any type (e.g., volumetric flaws, axial and circumferential cracks) that may be present along the length of the tube, from the tube-to-tubes heet weld at the tube inlet to the tube-to-tubesheet weld at the tube out let, and that may satisfy the applicable tube plugging criteria. The tube-to -tubesheet weld is not part of the tube. In addition to meeting the requi rements of d.1, d.2, and d.3 below, the inspection scope, inspection metho ds, and inspection intervals shall be such as to ensure that SG tube in tegrity is maintained until the next SG inspection. A degradation assessm ent shall be performed to determine the type and location of flaws to whi ch the tubes may be susceptible and, based on this assessment, to dete rmine which inspection methods need to be employed and at what locati ons.
- 1. Inspect 100% of the tubes in each SG during the first refueling outage following SG installation.
- 2. After the first refueling outage following SG installation, i nspect each SG at least every 72 effective full power months or at least every third refueling outage (whichever results in more frequent inspections).* In addition, the minimum number of tubes inspec ted at each scheduled inspection shall be the number of tubes in al l SGs divided by the number of SG inspection outages scheduled in each inspection period as defined in a, b, c and d below. If a degradation assessment indicates the potential for a type of degradation to occur at a location not previously inspected with a technique capable of detecting this type of degradation at this location and that may satisfy the applicable tube plugging crit eria, the minimum number of locations inspected with such a capable inspection technique during the remainder of the inspection per iod may be prorated. The fraction of locations to be inspected for this potential type of degradation at this location at the end of th e inspection period shall be no less than the ratio of the number of times the SG is scheduled to be inspected in the inspection per iod
- As approved by Amendment No. 223, performance of the steam generator inspection scheduled for Refuel Outage 24 (fall 2020) may be deferred to Refuel Outage 25 (spring 2022) on a one-time basis.

after the determination that a new form of degradation could potentially be occurring at this location divided by the total number of times the SG is scheduled to be inspected in the inspection period. Each inspection period defined below may be extended up to 3 effective full power months to include a SG inspection out age in an inspection period and the subsequent inspection period begins at the conclusion of the included SG inspection outage.
(a) After the first refueling outage following SG installation, inspect 100% of the tubes during the next 144 effective full power months. This constitutes the first inspection period;
(b) During the next 120 effective full power months, inspect 100% of the tubes. This constitutes the second inspection period;
(c) During the next 96 effective full power months, inspect 100% of the tubes. This constitutes the third inspection period; and
(d) During the remaining life of the SGs, inspect 100% of the tubes every 72 effective full power months. This constitutes the fourth and subsequent inspection periods.
- 3. If crack indications are found in any SG tube, then the next inspection for each affected and potentially affected SG for th e degradation mechanism that caused the crack indication shall no t exceed 24 effective full power months or one refueling outage (whichever results in more frequent inspections). If definitive information, such as from examination of a pulled tube, diagnos tic non-destructive testing, or engineering evaluation indicates that a crack-like indication is not associated with a crack(s), then t he indication need not be treated as a crack.

5.5.15 Safety Function Determination Program (SFDP)
This program ensures loss of safety function is detected and appropriate actions taken. Upon entry into LCO 3.0.6, an evaluation shall be made to determine if loss of safety function exists. Additionally, other appropriat e actions may be taken as a result of the support system inoperability and corre sponding exception to entering supported system Condition and Required Actions. This program implements the requirements of LCO 3.0.6. The SFDP shall contain the following:
- a. Provisions for cross train checks to ensure a loss of the capability to perform the safety function assumed in the accident analysis do es not go undetected;

- c. Provisions to ensure that an inoperable supported system's Co mpletion Time is not inappropriately extended as a result of multiple support system inoperabilities; and
- d. Other appropriate limitations and remedial or compensatory ac tions.
A loss of safety function exists when, assuming no concurrent single failure, a safety function assumed in the accident analysis cannot be perf ormed. For the purpose of this program, a loss of safety function may exist wh en a support system is inoperable, and:
- a. A required system redundant to the system(s) supported by the inoperable support system is also inoperable; or
- b. A required system redundant to the system(s) in turn supporte d by the inoperable supported system is also inoperable; or
- c. A required system redundant to the support system(s) for the supported systems (a) and (b) above is also inoperable.
The SFDP identifies where a loss of safety function exists. If a loss of safety function is determined to exist by this program, the appropriat e Conditions and Required Actions of the LCO in which the loss of safety function exists are required to be entered.
