Through a sampling of 10 of the 16 most susceptible plants to CRDM thermal sleeve wear, the staff verified that the domestic T-Cold plants are properly performing the Westinghouse Nuclear Safety Advisory Letter-recommended inspections. In addition, the data gathered through these inspections confirms the wear rate assumptions used in the staff safety analyses.
Consequently, the NRC staff is satisfied that the affected plants are properly addressing the thermal sleeve flange wear issue. Therefore, the NRC requires no further action at this time.
The NRC staff will continue to monitor industry operating experience.
