The immediate cause of the event was that the"A" and"B" steam generator tube degradation was in excess of the Ginna Station Quality Assurance Manual reportable limits.The underlying cause of the tube degradation is a common steam generator problem of a partially rolled tube sheet crevice with recurring Intergranular Attack/Stress Corrosion Cracking (IGA/SCC)and Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking (PWSCC)attack on steam generator tubing.This event is NRC Performance Indicator System Cause Code 5.8.4.3 and NUREG-1022 Cause Code (B).Corrective action taken was to either sleeve or plug the affected tubes with accepted industry repair methods.HRC FORM 366 (5.92)

The purpose of the eddy current examination was to assess any corrosion or mechanical damage that may have occurred during the cycle since the 1993 examination.

The examination was performed by personnel from Rochester Gas and Electric (RG&E)and ABB Combustion Engineering.

All-personnel were trained and qualified in the eddy current examination method.and have been certified to a minimum of Level I for data acquisition and Level II for data analysis.The initial eddy current examinations of the>>A>>and>>B>>S/Gs were performed utilizing a standard bobbin coil technique with data acquisition being performed with the EDDYNET Acquisition System.The frequencies selected were 400, 200, 100, and 25 KHz.Additional eddy current examinations of the>>A>>and>>B>>S/Gs were performed utilizing the Zetec 3-coil Motorized Rotating Pancake Coil (MRPC)probe to examine the roll transition region, selected crevices and support plates.The frequencies used for these examinations were 400, 300, 100, and 25 KHz.I, The inlet or hot leg examination program plan was generated to provide the examination of 100%of each open unsleeved S/G tube from the tube end through the first tube support plate, along with 20%of these tubes being selected and examined for their full length (204 random sample as recommended in the Electric Power Research Institute.(EPRI)guidelines]

with the bobbin coil.In addition, 204 of each type of sleeve was examined and the remaining tube was examined full length.All Row 1 and Row 2 U-Bend regions were examined with the MRPC between the g6 tube support plate hot side and the g6 tube support plate cold side from the cold leg side.HRC FORH 366A (5.92)

Corrective actions were therefore taken for 164 tubes in the>>A>>S/G, and for 134 tubes in the>>B>>S/G.On March 26, 1994, at approximately 1800 EST, with the RCS depressurized and temperature at approximately 66 degrees F, final review of the 1994 S/G eddy current examination results was completed.

Prior to completion of this review (on March 23, 1994, at approximately 1500 EST), it was evident that more than one percent of the total tubes inspected were degraded (i.e., imperfections greater than the repair limit).Because of the above, the results of the inspection are considered a reportable event pursuant to 10 CFR 50.73 per Appendix B of the QA Manual.On March 24, 1994, at approximately 1300 EST, oral notification was made to the NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation pursuant to Appendix B of the QA Manual.On April 8, 1994, a Special Report listing the number of tubes required to be plugged or sleeved in each S/G, was reported to the NRC, pursuant to Appendix B of the QA Manual.C~I NOPERABLE STRUCTURES i COMPONENTS I OR SYSTEMS THAT CONTRI BUTED TO THE EVENT: None D.OTHER SYSTEMS OR SECONDARY FUNCTIONS AFFECTED: None E.METHOD OF DISCOVERY:

--006--REVISION 00 PAGE 3 6 OF 8 TEXT (If more spece is reqUIred, use edditionel copies of HRC Form 366A)(17)The majority of the inlet tubesheet crevice corrosion indications are IGA/SCC of the Mill Annealed Inconel 600 tube material.This form of corrosion is believed to be the result of an alkaline environment forming in the tubesheet crevices.This environment has developed over the years as deposits and active species, such as sodium and phosphate, have reacted, changing a neutral or inhibited crevice environment into the aggressive environment that presently exists.Along with IGA/SCC in the crevices, Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking (PWSCC)at the roll transition continued to be active during the last operating cycle.This mechanism was first addressed in 1989, and this year there were 120 roll transition (PWSCC)indications in the"A" S/G and 66 roll transition (PWSCC)indications in the"B" S/G..These numbers include tubes that may have PWSCC in combination with IGA or SCC in the crevice.This event is NRC Performance Indicator System Cause Code 5.8.4.3,"Maintenance Equipment Failure", and NUREG-1022 Cause Code (B),"Design, Manufacturing, Construction/Installation." IV.ANALYSIS OF EVENT This event is reportable in accordance with 10 CFR.50.73, Licensee Event Report System, item (Other)and the QA Manual Appendix B which requires that,"If the number of tubes in a generator falling into categories (a)or (b)below exceeds the criteria, then results of the inspection shall be considered a Reportable Event pursuant to 10 CFR 50.73." The tube degradation in the"A" and"B" S/Gs exceeded the criterion of (b)which states,"More than 1 percent of the total tubes inspected are degraded (imperfections greater than the repair limit)".An assessment was performed considering both the safety consequences and implications of this event with the'following results and conclusions:

There were no operational or safety consequences resulting from the S/G tube degradation in excess of the QA Manual reportable limits because: HRC FORM 366A (5-92)

~Even assuming a complete severance of a S/G tube at full power, as stated in the R.E.Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (Ginna UFSAR)section 15.6.3 (Steam Generator Tube Rupture), the sequence of recovery actions ensures early termination of primary to secondary leakage with or without offsite power available thus limiting offsite radiation doses to within the guidelines of 10 CFR 100.Based on the above, it can be concluded that the public's health and safety was assured'at all times.V.CORRECTIVE ACTION A.ACTION TAKEN TO RETURN AFFECTED SYSTEMS TO PRE-EVENT NORMAL STATUS Of the 164 tubes repaired in the"A" S/G, 143 tubes were repaired using a 20 3/4 inch Babcock and Wilcox kinetically welded tubesheet sleeve in the hot leg.All of these 143 tubes will remain in service.The remaining 21 tubes were removed from service by plugging both the hot and cold leg tube ends.A total of 215 tubes in the"A" S/G are currently plugged and 811 tubes are sleeved.Of the 134 tubes repaired in the"B" S/G, 103 tubes were repaired using a 20 3/4 inch Babcock and Wilcox kinetically welded tubesheet sleeve in the hot leg.All of these 103 tubes will remain in service.30 tubes were removed from service by plugging both the hot and cold leg tube ends.The remaining tube was previously plugged and exhibited a crack indication in the plug.The subject tube plug was removed and a new plug installed.
