The Steam Generator Group Project (SGGP) is an NRC program joined by additional sponsors. The SGGP utilizes a steam generator removed from service at a nuclear plant as a vehicle for research on a variety of safety and reliability issues. This report is a semi-annual summary of progress of the program. Information is presented on positioning the generator into the Steam Generator Examination Facility, and examination of the secondary side to confirm pretransport generator condition. The report then presents radiological field mapping results and personnel exposure monitoring data. Radiation field reduction achieved in channel head decontamination efforts is reported. The results of a profilometry examination to determine the extent of denting are summarized. Plans for unplugging of selective explosively plugged tubes are discussed.
