Proposed Generic Communication; Steam Generator Tube Integrity and Associated Technical Specifications
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to issue a generic letter (GL) to request that addressees submit a description of their program for ensuring steam generator (SG) tube integrity for the interval between inspections and description of the methodology used to assess the effects of non-pressure-related loads such as bending on SG tube integrity. Addressees should also provide a safety assessment demonstrating that the SG tubes will have adequate structural and leakage integrity (with appropriate regulatory margins) at the time of their next SG tube inspection, taking into account the effects of non-pressure-related loads. This Federal Register notice is available through the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under accession number ML042710075.
