Attachment 2 St. Lucie Unit 1 Docket Nos. 50-335 Emergency License Amendment Steam Generator Plu in Limit SAFETY EVALUATION Three steam generator tubes were removed from the A steam generator of St.
Lucie Unit 1 (PSL-1) during the October-December 1985 outage. These were then sent to B R W for examination in order to better characterize the eddy current (ET) indications noted during the 1980 and 1985 exams. The summary of the laboratory work and its correlation to the field ET results are shown on the attached table. The presence of grain boundary degradation in the form of intergrannular attack (IGA) with some stress corrosion cracking (SCC) caused a review of all the 1985 ET data, and a historical review of a population of defects, Distorted Support Signals (DSS) and Undefined Signals (UDS) as well as 1980-1985 plugged tubes. Additionally, a sample of greater than 50% of distorted signals were compared to the 1980 data to assess growth.
Using the B dc W results as an indicator the results of the 1985 ET exam revealed the presence of seventeen indications having depth,OOFo. These indications had typically been classified as either DSS or UDS. While direct comparisons of previous ET data are difficult due to the use of differing equipment and techniques, the following conclusions can be reached:
a) There is no significant change in indication depth or signal amplitude between the 1980 and 1985 data.
b) Indications can be identified in certain tubes as early as 1981 in the majority of cases. A small number can be tracked to 1979.
The industry data on IGA/SCC demonstrates that the tube material below the surface area of uniformly degraded IGA/SCC remains sound and does not suffer from incipient degradation in the grain boundaries. Tests have shown that tubes with IGA will sustain pressure differentials substantially greater than predicted during the worst case design basis accident (MSLB) prior to burst. Testing has also shown that through wall cracks of 1 inch in length leak before break.
In order to verify the industry results for PSL-l, samples of tubing were obtained from CE for the purpose of leak rate testing. The tests run at Chattanooga used thru-wall cracks of 3/8", 15/16", and IYi" in length for the leak-before-break test. The results demonstrate that the leakage of through wall cracks of the size seen on PSL-1 post Main Steam Line Break (MSLB) are

well below those assumed in the Safety Evaluation. These results are conservative in that the maximum crack length seen at PSL-1 is approximatley
.6". In addition burst tests run on CE tubing for 3" long, fully circumferential IGA verify that IGA at 70Fo could withstand over twice the MSLB pressure differential prior to bursting. These results are also conservative as compared to St. Lucie Unit l.
Therefore, it can be concluded that PSL-1 can continue to be safely operated due to the following:
- 1) The IGA/SCC can be detected and sized through ET means. In addition, the results of the historical data review demonstrate that the attack has occurred early in the operating life of the plant, and has not grown significantly during the latest cycle. That the corrosion occurred early in the operating life of St. Lucie Unit 1 is further evidenced in the improvement in steam generator water chemistry beginning in 1978. Furthermore, since late 1982, the St.
Lucie Units have been operating with a very stringent secondary water chemistry control program based upon the EPRI Steam Generator Owner's Group (SGOG) PWR Secondary Water Chemistry Guidelines. This conclusion can also be supported by the improvement in secondary water chemistry since the "adoption of EPRI Water Chemistry Guidelines.
- 2) Both FPL and industry tests demonstrate that through wall cracks will leak before break, and that IGA affected tubes will resist bursting until a pressure much greater than the PSL design basis is reached. Therefore, a potential problem will be detected prior to it becoming a safety concern, and that the existing condition will not lead to exceeding the design basis.

ATTACHMENT3 NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION DETERMINATION The standards used to arrive at a determination that a request for amendment involves no significant hazards consideration are included in the Commission's regulations, 10 CFR 50.92, which states that no significant hazards considerations are involved if the operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. Each standard is discussed as follows:
(1) Operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
The events of concern for this amendment are those which could potentially lead to a steam generator tube rupture during normal operation or accident conditions. Recent metallurgical analyses of tube samples removed from a St. Lucie Unit 1 steam generator during the late-1985 refueling outage and an extensive review of eddy-current data for 100Fo of the tubes in both steam generators indicates that the condition of the tubes has been characterized with a high degree of confidence and that the phenomenon of concern (intergranular attack, or IGA) has not progressed significantly during the latest cycle. Furthermore, the effective time period of the amendment is limited to 30 days. Thus, the use of the modified specification under these circumstances does not involve a significant increase in the probability of occurrence of a steam generator tube rupture event or any other event previously evaluated. In addition, recent results of FPL and industry leak rate testing indicate that through-wall cracks will "leak before break," and that IGA-affected tubes will maintain integrity to a pressure greater than the design basis pressure applicable in this situation to the St. Lucie Unit 1 steam generators; therefore, the consequences of previously evaluated accidents are not significantly increased by this amendment.
(2) Use of the modified specification would not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
The evaluation performed by CE, of steam generator tubes with greater degradation than that present at PSL 1, ensures that this modification will not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

Q (3) Use of the modified specification would not involve a significant reduction in a mar gin of saf ety.
Industry 'data has demonstrated that tube material below the area of uniformly degraded IGA remains sound, and tests have shown that tubes with IGA will sustain, differential pressures substantially greater than those predicted during design basis accidents. The limiting stress condition for tubes are those requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.121 which calls for tubing to be able to withstand three times normal operating differential pressure without bursting. Sixteen of the seventeen defects meet this requirement. The seventeenth has a safety factor of approximately 2.75.
Tests specific to FPL have been conducted to verify that the leak-before-break concept applies to the St. Lucie Unit 1 steam generators and that potential problems will be detected before they become significant safety concerns. Thus, use of the modified specification, especially over a limited 30-day time period, does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety in that the ASME Section III Code limits (NB-3225) are not surpassed, and that the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.121 are met by all defects with the exception of one which has a slightly reduced margin of safety.
Based on our compilation of a reliable and conservative eddy-current data base, our determination that IGA is progressing at a slow rate of growth, the applicability of the leak-before-break concept, and the short-term interim nature of the modified specification (as described above), we have determined that the amendment request does not (1) involve a signif icant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated, (2) create the probability of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated, or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety; and therefore does not involve a significant hazards consideration.
