FIRST: “The wear in Unit 2 is far less extensive than the wear in Unit 3” and “Unit 3 had more than 300 tubes with the unexpected tube-to-tube wear; Unit 2 only had two tubes exhibiting minor tube-to-tube wear.”

SCE’s CAL Response States:

“The actions to operate at reduced power and shut down for a mid-cycle inspection within 150 cumulative days of

  • peration are interim

compensatory actions.

slide-22
SLIDE 22

“SCE will reevaluate these actions during the mid-cycle inspection based on the data

  • btained during the

inspections.

slide-23

“In addition, SCE has established a project team to develop and implement a long term plan for repairing the SGs.” (emphasis added)

Conclusion

It would be unwise to permit restart of San Onofre Unit 2 with its crippled steam generators that need repair or replacement without in fact repairing or replacing them.
