NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

Steam Generator Tube Inspection

Techniques; Issue

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Notice of Issuance.

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) has issued Generic

Letter (GL) 97–05 to all holders of

operating licenses for pressurized-water

reactors, except those who have

permanently ceased operations and

have certified that fuel has been

permanently removed from the reactor

vessel, to emphasize the importance of

performing steam generator tube

inservice inspections using qualified

techniques in accordance with the

requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR

Part 50, and to require certain

information from addressees to

determine whether they are in

compliance with the current licensing

basis for their respective facilities given

their steam generator tube inservice

inspection practices. This generic letter

only requests information from the

addressees under the provisions of

Section 182a of the Atomic Energy Act,

as amended, and 10 CFR 50.54(f).

The generic letter is available in the

NRC Public Document Room under

accession number 9712120014.

DATES: The generic letter was issued on

December 17, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Not applicable.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Phillip J. Rush, at (301) 415–2790.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

generic letter does not constitute a

backfit as defined in 10 CFR 50.109(a)(1)

since it does not impose modifications

of or additions to structures, systems or

components or to design or operation of

an addressee’s facility. It also does not

impose an interpretation of the

Commission’s rules that is either new or

different from a previous staff position.

The staff, therefore, has not performed

a backfit analysis.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 17th day

of December 1997.

Acting Director, Division of Reactor Program

Management, Office of Nuclear Reactor
