RAI 19

Reference 1, Section 11.2, page 52 - Provide additional details on how the GE Smart Signal System will be used in the context of tube-to-tube wear and/or the circumstances associated with tube-to-tube wear. What information/data will the system be evaluating? For what purpose?

RESPONSE

As stated in the RAI Reference 1, Section 11.2, GE Smart Signal TM will be used as "an analytic tool that aids in diagnosis of equipment conditions. The tool will be used to analyze historical plant process data from the Unit 2 steam generators (SGs) following the inspection interval."

GE Smart Signal TM will be used as a backward looking tool to assist in the investigation of any additional tube-to-tube wear identified during the mid-cycle inspection. GE Smart Signal TM is not included as a Defense in Depth measure in section 9 of RAI Reference 1.

GE Smart Signal TM is a software program used to trend and monitor variances in plant equipment (such as pressures, temperatures, flowrate, speed, feedwater pump and turbine vibration). GE Smart Signal TM will be monitoring the following equipment:

1. Unit 2 Steam Generators
2. Unit 2 Main Feedwater Pumps
3. Unit 2 Main Feedwater Turbines Page 2
