a. Provisions for condition monitoring assessments. Condition monitoring assessment means an evaluation of the "as found" condition of the tubing with respect to the performance criteria for structural integrity and accident induced leakage. The "as found" condition refers to the condition of the tubing during an SG inspection outage, as determined from the inservice inspection results or by other means, prior to the plugging of tubes. Condition monitoring assessments shall be conducted during each outage during which the SG tubes are inspected or plugged to confirm that the performance criteria are being met.

WATERFORD - UNIT 3 6-7a AMENDMENT NO. 189,204, 2-Je,250

ADMINI§TRATIVE CONTROLS STEAM GENERATOR (SG) PROGRAM (Continued)

b. Performance criteria for SG tube integrity. SG tube integrity shall be maintained by meeting the performance criteria for tube structural integrity, accident induced leakage, and operational leakage.
1. Structural integrity performance criterion: All in-service steam generator tubes shall retain structural integrity over the full range of normal operating conditions (including startup, operation in the power range, hot standby, and cool down), all anticipated I transients included in the design specification, and design basis accidents. This includes retaining a safety factor of 3.0 against burst under normal steady state full power operation primary to secondary pressure differential and a safety factor of 1.4 against burst applied to the design basis accident primary to secondary pressure differentials. Apart from the above requirements, additional loading conditions associated with the design basis accidents, or combination of accidents in accordance with the design and licensing basis, shall also be evaluated to determine if the associated loads contribute significantly to burst or collapse. In the assessment of tube integrity, those loads that do significantly affect burst or collapse shall be determined and assessed in combination with the loads due to pressure with a safety factor of 1.2 on the combined primary loads and 1.0 on axial secondary loads.
2. Accident induced leakage performance criterion: The primary to secondary accident induced leakage rate for any design basis accident, other than a SG tube rupture, shall not exceed the leakage rate assumed in the accident analysis in terms of total leakage rate for all SGs and leakage rate for an individual SG. Primary to secondary leakage is not to exceed 540 gpd through anyone SG.
3. The operational leakage performance criterion is specified in LCO 3.4.5.2, "Reactor Coolant System Operational Leakage."
c. Provisions for SG tube plugging criteria. Tubes found by inservice inspection to contain flaws with a depth equal to or exceeding 40% of the nominal tube wall thickness shall be plugged.

ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS STEAM GENERATOR (SGl PROGRAM (Continued)

d. Provisions for SG tube inspections. Periodic SG tube inspections shall be performed.

The number and portions of the tubes inspected and methods of inspection shall be performed with the objective of detecting flaws of any type (e.g., volumetric flaws, axial and circumferential cracks) that may be present along the length of the tube, from the tube-to-tubesheet weld at the tube inlet to the tube-to-tubesheet weld at the tube outlet and that may satisfy the applicable tube plugging criteria. The tube-to-tubesheet weld is not part of the tube. In addition to meeting the requirements of d.1, d.2, and d.3 below, the inspection scope, inspection methods, and inspection intervals shall be such as to ensure that SG tube integrity is maintained until the next SG inspection. A degradation assessment shall be performed to determine the type and location of flaws to which the tubes may be susceptible and, based on this assessment, to determine which inspection methods need to be employed and at what locations.

1. Inspect 100% of the tubes in each SG during the first refueling outage following SG installation.
2. After the first refueling outage following SG installation, inspect each SG at least every 72 effective full power months or at least every third refueling outage (whichever results in more frequent inspections). In addition, the minimum number of tubes inspected at each scheduled inspection shall be the number of tubes in all SGs divided by the number of SG inspection outages scheduled in each inspection period as defined in a, b, c and d below. If a degradation assessment indicates the potential for a type of degradation to occur at a location not previously inspected with a technique capable of detecting this type of degradation at this location and that may satisfy the applicable tube repair criteria, the minimum number of locations inspected with such a capable inspection technique during the remainder of the inspection period may be prorated. The fraction of locations to be inspected for this potential type of degradation at this location at the end of the inspection period shall be no less than the ratio of the number of times the SG is scheduled to be inspected in the inspection period after the determination that a new form of degradation could potentially be occurring at this location divided by the total number of times the SG is scheduled to be inspected in the inspection period. Each inspection period defined below may be extended up to 3 effective full power months to include a SG inspection outage in an inspection period and the subsequent inspection period begins at the conclusion of the included SG inspection outage.

a) After the first refueling outage following SG installation, inspect 100% of the tubes during the next 144 effective full power months. This constitutes the first inspection period; b} During the next 120 effective full power months, inspect 100% of the tubes. This constitutes the second inspection period; WATERFORD - UNIT 3 AMENDMENT NO. %94, ZW:, 236

ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS STEAM GENERATOR (SG) PROGRAM (Continued) c) During the next 96 effective full power months, inspect 100% of the tubes.

This constitutes the third inspection period; and d) During the remaining life of the SGs, inspect 100% of the tubes every 72 effective full power months. This constitutes the fourth and subsequent inspection periods.

3. If crack indications are found in any SG tube, then the next inspection for each affected and potentially affected SG for the degradation mechanism that caused the crack indication shall not exceed 24 effective full power months or one refueling outage (whichever results in more frequent inspections). If definitive information, such as from examination of a pulled tube, diagnostic non-destructive testing, or engineering evaluation indicates that a crack-like indication is not associated with a crack(s), then the indication need not be treated as a crack.
e. Provisions for monitoring operational primary to secondary leakage.

(2) (;a) Tihc aipplicailL Shall i iLcrconncct and share reserves on ati equalized pcrencage reserve basis with any entity in Louisiana which engages in or proposes to engage in electric generation and/or bulk power purchases on terms that will provide for the applicant's costs, and allow the other participant(s) full access to the benefits of reserve sharing coordination, and in addition, shall include but not be limited to emergency service, scheduled maintenance service, and establishing reserves. Such interconnection shall be at a voltage and .capacity requested by such entity whenever it is economically feasible for the parties.

(b) Emergency service and/or scheduled maintenance service to be provided by each party shall be furnished to the fullest extent available from the supplying party and desired by the party in need. The applicant and each party(ies) shall provide to the other emergency service and/or scheduled maintenance service it and when avail-able from its own generation and from generation of others to the extent it can do so without impairing service to its customers including other electric systems to whom it has firm commitments.

(c) The applicant and the other party(ies) to a reserve sharing arrangement shall from time to time jointly establish the _

minimum reserves to be installed and/or provided under contractual arrangements as necessary to maintain in total

-a reserve margin sufficient to provide adequate reliability of power supply to the interconnected systems of the parties. If the applicant plans its reserve margin on a pooled basis with other Middle South System companies, the reserves jointly established hereunder shall be on the same basis. Unless otherwise agreed upon, minimum reserves shall be calculated as a percentage of estimated peak load responsibility. No party to the arrangement shall be required to maintain greater reserves than the percentage of its estimated peak load responsibility which results from the aforesaid calculation, provided that, if the reserve requirements of the applicant are increased over the amount the applicant would be required to maintain without such interconnection, then the other party(ies) shall be required to carry or provide for as its (their) reserves the full amount in kilowatts of such increase.

(d) The parties to such a *reserve sharing arrangement shall provide such amourrts.of ready reserve capacity as may be adequate to avoid the imposition of unreasonable demands on the other in meeting the normal contingencies of operating its system. However, in no circumstances shall the ready reserve requirement exceed the installed reserve requirement.

(e) Interconnections will not be limited to low voltages when higher voltages are available from the applicant's installed facilities in the area where interconnection is desired, when the proposed arrangement is found to be technically and economically feasible. Control and telemetering facilities shall be provided as required for safety and prudent operation of the interconnected systems.

(f) Interconnection and coordination agreements shall not em-body any restrictive provisions pertaining to intersystem coordination. Good industry practice as developed in the area from time to time (if non-restrictive) will satisfy this provision.

(3) The applicant will purchase (when needed) or sell (when avail-able) "unit power" or "deficiency power" at mutually agreed upon delivery points on or adjacent to its transmission system from or to any entity engaging in or proposing to engage in electric generation and/or bulk power purchases at the cost -

(including a reasonable return) of new power supply, as dis-tinguished from average system cost, when such transaction would serve to reduce the overall cost of new bulk power supply for itself and the other participant to the transaction.

(4) With respect to Waterford Unit No. 3 and any future nuclear generating plant or unit of the applicant, or any plant or unit in which the applicant may acquire an interest in Louisiana, any entity that expresses an interest in partici-pation will be offered (1) for Waterford Unit No. 3-and for any future nuclear generating plant or unit of the applicant, the opportunity to have access* to a portion of the plant or.

unit capacity, or (2) with respect to any plant or unit in which the applicant may acquire an interest, the opportunity to have access* to a portion of the plant or unit capacity to the extent the applicant is able; in either event, upon the basis of a rate that will recover to the applicant the average fixed costs (including a reasonable return) of the

  • "The opportunity to have access" shall be for a period of one year after the applicant has provided to each enquiring entity financial data, which in the opinion of the Regulatory staff of the Commission is sufficient to enable such entity to make a feasibility study as to participation. The applicant shall provide such financial data as soon as reasonably feasible after receiving an inquiry. As to any entity or some or all entities in Louisiana the applicant can start the running of the aforesaid one year period by supplying to it or them, without waiting for an inquiry, the aforesaid financial data.

-- 14-plant or unit or the applicant's interest in any plant or unit.** The entity receiving such power will pay the associated energy, maintenance, and operating costs in-curred for the power it receives. In connection with this access, the applicant will also offer transmission service to the geographic extent of its then existing transmission system for delivery of such power to such purchasing entity on a basis that will fully compensate the applicant for its transmission costs (including a reasonable return).

In the event that the law of Louisiana should.be changed to the.extent that property owned jointly is not susceptible to partition and that such joint ownership is not otherwise an impedime'nt to financing, the Company must, in accordance with the provisions of its Commitment 4, offer joint owner-ship in any future nuclear generating plant or unit owned by it (or in which it may acquire an interest in Louisiana) to any entity requesting such access.

In the event that during the term of the instant license, or any extension or renewal thereof, the applicant participates in the ownership of or obtains rights to, and obligations in, a portion of the output of one or more nuclear generating utits constructed, owned or operated by an affiliate or subsidiary of the Middle South Utilities System other than the applicant or by any successor in title'to the Waterford Nuclear Unit, the applicant shall exert its best efforts to obtain partici- -

pation in such nuclear unit by an entity(ies) in the State of

  • Louisiana requesting such participation on terms equivalent to the terms of the applicant's participation therein. In connection with such participation, the applicant will also offer transmission service to the geographic extent of its then-existing transmission system for delivery of such power to such purchasing entity on a basis that will fully compen-sate the applicant for its transmission cost (including a reasonable return).

For the purposes of this paragraph, any person who would otherwise qualify as an "entity" except for the lack of a physical interconnection with the applicant shall be con-sidered an "entity"'If that person is or will be Inter-connected with an "entity" or member of the Southwest Power Pool which is interconnected with the applicant.

    • Nothing herein shall be deemed to exclude the participation of an entity through a prepaid unit power basis should such participation be economic-ally, technically and legally feasible. Moreover, nothing herein shall
  • be deemed to exclude participation of an entity on a joint venture basis in 'Baterford Unit 3 if the Company shall in its sole discretion decide to K> enter into such a joint venture.

(5) The applicant shall transmit power and energy over its trans-mission facilities among entities in the State of Louisiana with which it is interconnected and has or will have a trans-mission schedule in effect. For each coordinating group of entities there shall be a single transmission charge. In addition, for any entity with whom applicant is interconnected, the applicant will transmit to or from that entity's then existing interconnection with the applicant, power delivered to the applicant by another entity (or from the applicant to another entity) whose transmission facilities adjoin those of the applicant, provided (1) there is or will be a trans-mission schedule in effect, and (2) the arrangements reasonably can be accommodated from a functional and technical standpoint.

The transmission of such power and energy shall be at a rate that will fully compensate the applicant for its costs

.'(including a reasonable return) for the use of its system.

Any entity or group of entities requesting such transmission arrangements shall give reasonable advance notice of its schedule and requirements. (The foregoing applies to any entities to which the applicant may be interconnected in the future as well as those to which it is now interconnected.)

The applicant shall include in its planning and construction program sufficient transmission capacity as required for the transactions referred to in the above paragraph, and in those instances wnere such transactions are consummated, a transmis-sion schedule(s) shall be placed in effect; provided that any entity in the State of Louisiana give the applicant sufficient advance notice as may be necessary to accommodate its require-ments from a functional and technical standpoint and that such entity fully compensates the applicant for its cost (including a reasonable return). The applicant shall not be required to construct transmission facilities which will be of no demonstra-ble present or future benefit to the applicant.

For the purposes of this paragraph, (1) any person in the State of Louisiana who would otherwise qualify as an "entity" except for the lack of a physical interconnection with the applicant shall be considered an "entity" if that person is or will be interconnected with an "entity" or member of the Southwest Power Pool which is interconnected with the applicant; and (2)

Arkansas Power and Light Company, Mississippi Power and Light Company, and Mississippi Power Company, or any successor thereof, shall also be considered "entities."

(6) The applicant will enter into arrangements mutually agreed upon for the sale of power and energy under its effective (rate schedule) tariffs to any entity that owns an electric distribution system and has or may feasibly have a physical interconnection within the State of Louisiana. In connection with such arrangements, the applicant shall not be required to construct facilities which will be of no demonstrable present or future benefit to the applicant.

(7) It is recognized that the foregoing conditions are to be im-plemented in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Federal Power Act to the extent applicable, and all rates, charges or practices in connection therewith are to be subject to the approval of regulatory agencies having juris-diction over them.
