Steam Generator Action PlanTube integrity is integral to the safe operation of steam generators. Because of past problems with steam generator tubes affecting the operation of steam generators, the NRC continues activities related to improving tube integrity, as does the nuclear industry. During November 2000, after the Indian Point 2 steam generator leakage event, NRC developed a Steam Generator Action Plan to consolidate activities related to steam generators and to ensure that issues are appropriately tracked and dispositioned. In May 2001, this plan was revised to address a differing professional opinion on steam generator tube integrity. The action plan milestones are tracked and status is updated on a quarterly basis. This plan is just one facet of NRC's overall strategy to maintain safe operation of nuclear power plants, increase public confidence in agency regulatory actions, and improve effective and efficient use of NRC's resources. The plan consolidates numerous NRC action items related to steam generators that originated from or are associated with the following activities:
