DEFECTIVE STEAM GENERATOR TUBES DISCOVERED DURING INSPECTION
"During refueling outage RF12, interim results of "A" Steam Generator tube inspections indicate 62 tubes out of 5431 tubes (i.e.,> 1%) have been found to be defective. This steam generator tube inspection result for the "A" Steam Generator is classified as category C-3 in accordance with Technical Specification 5.5.9, Table 5.5.9-2. All defective tubes will be plugged before the steam generator is returned to service. There were no adverse safety consequences or implications as a result of this event. This event did not adversely affect the safe operation of the plant or the health and safety of the public."
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.

"This initial notification was reported under 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A) as a Degraded Condition, however, under NUREG 1022, section 3.2.4, discussion (A) 3, the present C-3 classification of the 'A' Steam Generator tubes does not meet the listed criteria for serious steam generator tube degradation. This notification is to amend initial notification, EN #39345, to reflect that this report was made per requirements of Technical Specification 5.5.9, Table 5.5.9-2 only. This C-3 condition does not meet the criteria for serious steam generator tube degradation and thus is not a degraded or unanalyzed condition."
The Licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R4DO (Pruett).
