SONGS Unit 3, Steam Generator Inspections 3C14 Update with the NRC November 17, 2006 SON GS Unit 3 Bac kground Two (2) steam generators

-Supplied by Combustion EnginE I IFýring (HTMA-High-Temp 600 Tubing erature Mill Annealeoi)Alloy-9350 tubes per SG when new-Designated SG 88 & 89-SG88 -8646 tubes in service,-SG89,- 8699 tubes in service, Recent Exam Outages n r 0 0 sleeves sleeves-Current Refueli-Prior Refueling ng Outage (3C1 Outage (3C9) 1 4).1 jof 8.1 EFPY EFPY secondary* Performed chemical cleanin(side, full length of tubes 2 SONGS Steam Generator 3 Completion Status, as of 11/17/2006.

• Bobbin ECT Inspection

-Complete 9 +Point ECT Inspection

-99% Complete* Secondary Side Visual Inspection

-Complete e In-situ Testing -No candidate tubes identified

• Plugging -To begin 11/1-8/2006 Note: Since exams are still in progress, all data and numbers in this presentation should be considered preliminary and subject to change.4 Discussion Points (DP)DP-1) Discuss any trends in the amount of primary-to-secondary leakage observed during the recently completed cycle.Unit 3 has some reported extremely low-level primary-to-secondary leakage. It was discovered on June 2, 2006, and has remained stable at an estimated 2 x 1 0-5 gallons per day. This level of leakage is well below the threshold of detection gal/day) of SONGS Unit 3's normal monitoring instrumentation.

The leakage was detected within the SONGS program for monitoring radioactive effluent paths of release to the environment which includes collection and measuring activity in a continuous charcoal filter sample on a weekly basis.Monitoring will resume following SONGS Unit 3 restart.5 Discussion Points (DP)DP-2) Discuss whether any secondary side pressure tests were performed during the outage and the associated results.-No secondary side pressure tests were performed.

DP-3) Discuss any exceptions taken to the industry guidelines.

-No exceptions to the industry guidelines Were taken 6 Discussion Points (DP)DP-4) Description of Inspections Performed Bobbin Exam-Full Length Exam of In-Service Tubes (100%)Rotating Exams (+Point)-Hot Leg top-of-tubesheet locations (100%) (Inspection to TSH-1 3.00")-Cold Leg top-of-tubesheet locations (100%) (Inspection to TSC-13.00")-Rows 1-4 U-Bend Locations (100%)-Rows 5-10 U-Bend Locations (20%)-Special Interest Locations
