SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNIT 2 -
SUMMARY
OFDECEMBER 14, 2007, DISCUSSIONS ON STEAM GENERATOR TUBE INSPECTIONS (TAC NO. MD7406)
Dear Mr. Rosenblum:
On December 14, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff participated in aconference call with Southern California Edison (SCE) representatives regarding the 2007 steam generator tube inspections at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 2. A summary of the December 14, 2007, conference call is provided in the enclosure; the information supplied by SCE, in support of these discussions (handouts), is provided in an attachment to the enclosure. The NRC staff did not identify any issues that would warrant preventing the plant from starting up following its 15th refueling outage.If you have any questions, please call me at (301) 415-1480.Sincerely,/RA/N. Kalyanam, Project ManagerPlant Licensing Branch IV Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor RegulationDocket No. 50-361

SUMMARY
OF DECEMBER 14, 2007, CONFERENCE CALL WITHSOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON REGARDING THE FALL 2007STEAM GENERATOR TUBE INSPECTION ATSAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNIT 2DOCKET NO. 50-361On December 14, 2007, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff participated in a conferencecall with Southern California Edison (the licensee) representative regarding the fall 2007 (2C15) steam generator (SG) tube inspection activities at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Unit 2 (SONGS 2). Prior to the conference call, the licensee provided a handout to facilitate the discussion. The conference call summarized below is based on the information provided by the licensee prior to the call.Background information on the SONGS 2 SGs is provided on page 2 of the attachment. TheSGs were originally designed with 9350 Alloy 600 mill annealed tubes. Through four separate outages, a total of 345 tubes in SG 88 and 189 tubes in SG 89 were sleeved. At the beginning of the current refueling outage, there were a total of 256 sleeves remaining in service. The Combustion Engineering-designed sleeves have a welded upper joint and a rolled lower joint.This is the last eddy current inspection planned for these SGs. They are scheduled to bereplaced during the fall 2009 refueling outage.At the time of the call, eddy current testing (ECT) inspection by the bobbin probe was completeand approximately 98 percent of the ECT by +Point inspections were complete. Additional clarifying information or information not included in the document provided by thelicensee is summarized below.Acronyms used by the licensee in the attachment include:
EFPY ------effective full power yearsTSP ------tube support plate TSH------ tubesheet hotTSC------tubesheet cold TW ------through wallFLDA------flaw length degraded area SAI------single axial indicationEC------egg crate ET------eddy current testingPDA------percent degraded areaCA------crack angle(PDA and CA only apply to circumferential indications)
The +Point probe exams in the tubesheet region were from 13 inches below the top of thetubesheet to 4 inches above the top of tubesheet to ensure the tubes were examined through the sludge pile.Visual inspection for foreign objects was conducted in the annular region and center lane of thetubesheet. No foreign objects were identified during this outage. ENCLOSURE The criterion for preventatively plugging tubes due to tube support wear is > 30 percent throughwall.One sleeve in each generator was found partially obstructed. The tubes with these obstructedsleeves were scheduled to be plugged. These sleeves were both installed in the 1999 refueling outage. Even though the sleeves were partially obstructed, it was still possible to examine the sleeves with the eddy current probe.Tube 31-165 in SG 88 has multiple axial indications at the fifth hot leg tube support plate. Theindications are not aligned.The diagonal bar tube supports (batwings) were verified intact through review of the bobbin coileddy current data. There were no secondary side visual inspections in this region. Refer to Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML063040307, "Response to Request for Additional Information Regarding Report of Inservice Inspection of Steam Generator Tubes, Cycle 14," for more details on how the operating experience from a similar unit has been factored into the SONGS 2 inspection and data analysis techniques. SONGS 2 performed chemical cleaning of their SGs in refueling outage 2C9.The staff did not identify any issues that required follow-up action at this time; however, the staffasked to be notified in the event that any unusual conditions were detected during the remainder of the outage.
