RCS PRESSURE BOUNDARY DEGRADED
The following information was provided by the licensee via email:
"At 1112 EDT on 4/15/23, it was determined that the [reactor coolant system] RCS pressure boundary does not meet ASME Section XI, Table IWB-341 0-1, `Acceptable Standards,' due to through wall leak of the flux mapper seal table guide tube H-6. Corrective actions have been scheduled. `This event is being reported pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A).
