dated December 17, 1997.                                                 
                                                                         
The NRC is issuing this generic letter to (1) emphasize to the addressees
the importance of performing steam generator tube inservice inspections  
using qualified techniques in accordance with the requirements of        
Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, and (2) require certain information from   
addressees to determine whether they are in compliance with the current  
licensing basis for their respective facilities given their steam        
generator tube inservice inspection practices.
