Req # A-2019-00120
All annual and/or quarterly summary reports regarding inspections conducted on fuel channels and/or pressure tubes used in Canada’s nuclear reactors, dating from 2000 to the most recent available. What I am seeking is a clear understanding of how the testing of pressure tubes occurs and what results are produced. I want to know the schedule for testing, how many tubes are tested each time, how many of those same tubes are tested again at a later date and how many are newly tested. I want to know the results of all those tests, and what is considered a suitable range of variability within the results. Seeking the most comprehensive dataset possible.Organization: Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission

During a presentation on Nov. 3, 2022, CNSC staff delivered a risk assessment relating to deterioration of pressure tubes. CNSC staff concluded that Level 3 Defence in Depth "is not adversely afffected by the type of pressure tube failure that could potentially result from reduced fracture toughness." Also, they determined that "the increase in risk metrics such as severe core damage frequency (CDF) and large release frequency (LRF) due to postulated increases in pressure tube failure frequency is negligible for 2-3 years of continued operations." I request all reports or other documents possessed by the CNSC detailing how these conclusions were arrived at. I also request any memos, e-mails or other electronic communications discussing this risk assessment. Relevant dates would be Nov.1, 2021 to present.Organization: Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
