SUBJECT:
WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 - REVIEW OF THE 180-DAY STEAM GENERATOR TUBE INSPECTION REPORT FOR THE 14TH REFUELING OUTAGE - (TAC NO. MD5950)
Dear Sir or Madam:
By letter dated June 21, 2007 ((Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML071730476), Entergy Operations, Inc. (the licensee) submitted information, pursuant to Technical Specification (TS) 6.9.1.5, summarizing the scope, methods, and results of the Fall 2006 steam generator (SG) tube inspections (during Refueling Outage 14) at Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 (Waterford 3). Additional details of these inspections are documented in a conference call summary dated February 7, 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML070520209).
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff reviewed the licensees June 21, 2007 report and concludes that the licensee provided the information required by their TS. The NRC staff review of this report did not identify any new technical issues that warrant follow-up action. The NRC staff will continue to monitor the licensees efforts to manage the damaged batwing supports and to ensure that no significant consequential damage of the SG tubing is occurring. The licensee met with the NRC staff on February 12, 2008 (ADAMS Accession No. ML080510251) to discuss the status of its batwing management program and their plans for inspecting the batwings and tubes during the spring 2008 refueling outage. In addition, the licensee will brief the NRC staff by phone on the inspection results when the results become available.
Sincerely,
/RA/
