cant’s (licensee’s) Technical Specifications. The applicant (licensee) has stated that the steam generator program includes the tubes, tube repairs (including plugs), and steam generator secondary side internals that can affect the integrity of the tubes. In addition, the licensee has indicated that the program addresses the inspection for, and removal of, foreign objects (loose parts) that can affect tube integrity. 2. The applicant (licensee) has stated that the entire length of each tube can be inspected with currently available methods and techniques. These methods and techniques are capable of finding the forms of degradation that could potentially occur during the service life of the steam generators. If unacceptable flaws are identified during the course of an inspection, each tube is accessible and can be removed from service and stabilized, as necessary. The design of the steam generator includes provisions for access to both the primary and secondary sides of the steam generator. Access to the secondary side includes the secondary face of the tubesheet, open tube lanes, feedwater inlet area (e.g., J-tubes or preheater inlet), and other components that could affect steam generator tube integrity. 3. The steam generator program is (will be) consistent with the latest revisions of the Standard Technical Specifications, NUREG-1430, NUREG-1431, and NUREG-1432. In addition, the steam generator tube repair criteria specified in the Technical Specifications were (will be) determined by using the methodology specified in Regulatory Guide 1.121. 4. The applicant (licensee) has identified all instances in which the inspection (surveillance) requirements in the plant Technical Specifications differ (will differ) from those in Article IWB-2000 of Section XI of the ASME Code. In these instances, the requirements of the plant Technical Specifications will govern, consistent with the requirements in 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(iii). 5. The applicant (licensee) has indicated
