Content:
A. Complies with 10 CFR 50.55a as it relates to periodic inspection and testing of the steam generator tubes as detailed in Section XI of the ASME Code. B. Complies with 10 CFR 50.65 as it relates to monitoring SSCs and establishing goals to provide reasonable assurance that such SSCs are capable of fulfilling their intended functions. 5.4.2.2-7 Revision 2 - March 2007 C. Incorporates the steam generator program requirements in the latest revisions of the Standard Technical Specifications, NUREG-1430, NUREG-1431, and NUREG-1432, into the facility’s Technical Specifications (the steam generator program in the Standard Technical Specifications meets the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36). D. Verifies that all potential conflicts between the Technical Specifications and the ASME Code are identified. E. Verifies that the steam generator program includes the elements discussed above. F. Ensures that all tubes are inspected before being placed in service, using techniques that are expected to be used during subsequent inspections. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: The steam generators serve as the boundary between the primary and secondary sides of a pressurized-water reactor. As a result, they serve both as the RCPB and as the containment. Primary leakage into the secondary system could lead to the direct release of radioactivity to the environment. The steam generators are also relied on to perform safety functions such as removing decay heat (emergency core cooling) or supplying steam to engineered safety feature pumps. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s
