- 1. If the leak is above the 14th tube suppor1 plate in a Group as defined in Section 4.19.2.a.4(1) all of the tubes in this Group in the affected steam generator will be ;
inspected above the 14th tube support plate. If the results of this inspection fall into the C-3 category, additional inspections will be performed in the same Group in the other steam generator.
)
- 2. If the leaking tube is not as defined in Section 4.19.3.d.1, then an inspection will be performed on the affected steam generator (s)in accordance with Table 4.19-2.
4.19.4 Acceptance Criteria j l
- a. As used in this Specification:
- 1. Imperfection means an exception to the dimensions, finish, or contour of a tube from that required by fabrication drawing or specifications. Eddy current testing indications less than degraded tube criteria specified in a.3 below may be considered l imperfections. l
- 2. Degradation means a service-induced cracking, wastage, wear or general corrosion occurring on either inside or outside of a tube.
- 3. Degraded Tube means a tube containing :
(a) an inside diameter (I.D.) IGA indication with a bobbin coil indication 2 0.2 volt l or 2 0.13 inches axial extent or 2 0.26 inches circumferential extent (for operation through Cycle 13 only), or l (b) imperfections 2 20% of the nominal wall thickness caused by degradation.
- 4. % Degradation means the percentage of the tube wall thickness affected or removed by degradation.
4-80 Amendment No. I16, le, !53,246 l
l
l 4.19.4 Acceptance Criteria (Continued) l 5. Defget means an imperfection of such severity that it exceeds the repair limit. A tube containing a defect is defective.
- 6. Repair Limit means the extent of degradation at or beyond which the tube shall be repaired or removed from service because it may become unserviceable prior to the next inspection.
l This limit is equal to 40% of the nominal tube wall thickness. For operation through l Cycle 13 only, inside diameter IGA indications shall be repaired or removed from service if they exceed an axial extent of 0.25 inches, or a circumferential extent of 0.52 inches, or a through wall degradation dimension of > 40% if assigned.
- 7. Unserviceable describes the condition of a tube ifit leaks or contains a defect large enough to affect its structural integrity in the event of an Operating Basis Earthquake, a loss of coolant accident, or a steam line or feedwater line break as specified in 4.19.3.c.,
above
- 8. Tube Inspection means an inspection of the steam generator tube from the bottom of the upper tubesheet completely to the top of the lower tubesheet, except as permitted by 4.19.2.b.2, above.
- 9. Inside Diameter Inter-Granular Attack (IGA) Indication means a bobbin coil indication initiating on the inside diameter surface and confirmed by diagnostic ECT to have a volumetric morphology characteristic ofIGA.
l
\
- b. The steam generator shall be determined OPERABLE afler completing the corresponding l actions (removal from service by plugging, or repair by kinetic expansion, sleeving, or other i methods, of all tubes exceeding the repair limit and all tubes containing throughwall cracks) !
required by Table 4.19-2. I 4.19.5 Reports
- a. After the completion of each inservice inspection of steam generator tubes, prior to exceeding a reactor coolant system (RCS) temperature of 250 *F, the NRC shall be notified of the following:
- 1) The number of tubes repaired or removed from service in each steam generator,
- 2) An assessment of growth ofinside diameter IGA degradation, and l 3) Results ofin-situ pressure testing, if performed.
4-81 Amendment No. 47,83, 917 403,129,149,153,157,206 l 4.19.5 Reports (Continued)
l 1
- b. The complete results of the steam generator tube inservice inspection shall be reported to the NRC within 12 months following completion of the inspection and repairs (main generator ;
breaker closure). The report shall include: ;
- 1. Number and extent of tube.s inspected. I
- 2. Location and percent ofwall-thickness penetration for each indication of an imperfection. 1
- 3. Location, bobbin coil amplitude, and axial and circumferential extent (if determined) for !
cach inside diameter IGA indication, and l 1
- 4. Identification of tubes repaired or removed from service.
- c. Results of steam generator tube inspections which fall into Category C-3 require notification in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 prior to resumption of plant operation. The written follow-up of this report shall provide a description ofinvestigations conducted to determine the cause of the tube degradation and corrective measures taken to prevent recurrence in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73.
Bases The Surveillance Requirements for inspection of the steam generator tubes ensure that the'stmetural integrity of this portion of the RCS will be maintained.
The program for inservice inspection of steam generator tubes is based on modification of Regulatory Guide 1.83, Revision 1. In-service inspection of steam generator tubing is essential in order to maintain j surveillance of the conditions of the tubes in the event that there is evidence of mechanical damage or progressive degradation due to design, manufacturing errors, or inservice conditions. Inservice inspection of steam generator tubing also provides a means of characterizing the nature and cause of any tube degradation so that corrective measures can be taken.
The Unit is expected to be operated in a manner such that the primary and secondary coolant will be maintained within those chemistry limits found to result in negligible corrosion of the steam generator tubes. If the primary or secondary coolant chemistry is not maintained within these chemistry limits, localized corrosion may likely result.
The extent of steam generator tube leakage due to cracking would be limited by the secondary coolant activity, Specification 3.1.6.3.
The extent of cracking during plant operation would be limited by the limitation of total steam generator tube leakage between the primary coolant system and the secondary coolant system (primary-to-secondary leakage = 1 gpm). Leakage in excess of this limit will require plant shutdown and an unscheduled inspection, during which the leaking tubes will be located and repaired or removed from i service.

Wastage-type defects are unlikely with proper chemistry treatment of the primary or the secondary {
coolant. However, even if a defect would develop in service, it will be found during scheduled in-service steam generator tube examinations. For tubes with ID IGA indications, additional conservatism i is being applied through Cycle 13 operation, to evaluate circumferential and axial dimensions for l determining final disposition of the tube. For ID IGA indications through wall dimension will continue to be assigned to those indications where amplitude response permits measuring through wall i dimension. Steam generator tube inspections of operating plants have demonstrated the capability to reliably detect degradation that has penetrated 20% of the original tube wall thickness.
Removal from service by plugging, or repair by kinetic expansion, sleeving, or other methods, will be required for degradation equal to or in excess of 40% of the tube nominal wall thickness. For operation through Cycle 13 only, tubes with I.D. initiated intergranular degradation may remain l in service without % T.W. sizing if the degradation morphology has been characterized as not
, crack-like by diagnostic eddy current inspection and the degradation is oflimited circumferential
! and axial length to ensure tube structural integrity. Additionally, serviceability for accident j leakage under the limiting postulated Main Steam Line Break (MSLB) accident will be evaluated L by determining that this I.D. initiated degradation mechanism is inactive (e.g. comparison of the l 13R Outage examination results with the results from past outages does not show growth greater l than expected ECT repeatability variations) and by successful 13R in-situ pressure testing of a l sample of these degraded tubes to evaluate their accident leakage potential when in-situ pressure
- tests are performed.
l Where experience in similar plants with similar water chemistry, as documented by USNRC j Bulletins / Notices, indicate critical areas to be inspected, at least 50% of the tubes inspected should be from these critical areas. First sample inspections sample size may be modified subject to NRC review and approval.
Whenever the results of any steam generator tubing inservice inspection fall into Category C-3 on the first sample inspection (See Table 4.19.2), these results will be reponed to NRC pursuant to the requirements of Specification 4.19.5.c. Such cases will be considered by the NRC on a case-by-case i
basis and may result in a requirement for analysis, laboratory examinations, tests, additional eddy current inspection, and revision of the Technical Specifications, if necessary.
l Note: The eddy current examination voltages referred to in this section (section 4.19) are based on a normalization procedure that sets the bobbin coil prime frequency peak-to-peak response from the four 20% through-wall holes of an ASME calibration standard to 4 volts.
