re still satisfied. For example, sleeves proposed for repairing steam generator tubes should be reviewed to verify that the sleeve design permits an inspection and that inspection techniques exist for finding the forms of degradation that could potentially affect the sleeves. In the case of power uprate amendments, the effect of changes in operating parameters (e.g., differential pressure, temperature, and flow rates) on the tube repair limits and on the ability of the ISI to ensure tube integrity for the operating interval between inspections should be reviewed. Consideration should be given to the actual condition of the steam generator at the time that the amendment is approved (e.g., presence of loose parts, extent of degradation). 5.4.2.2-9 Revision 2 - March 2007 The level of detail to which the reviewer verifies the above acceptance criteria is to be determined on a case-by-case basis consistent with a risk-informed, performance-based regulatory approach. Previous operating experience should be used in determining the level of detail for the review (e.g., review of qualification data for inspection techniques to be used). IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The reviewer verifies that the applicant has provided sufficient information and that the review and calculations (if applicable) support conclusions of the following type to be included in the staff's safety evaluation report. The reviewer also states the bases for those conclusions. 1. To ensure that no deleterious defects develop during service, steam generator tubes will be inspected before plant startup and periodically throughout the life of the plant. The applicant (licensee) has stated that the steam generator program will comply (complies) with the rules published in 10 CFR 50.55a, 10 CFR 50.65, and the applicant’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
