November 6, 1997@I Mr. W. R. McCollum Vice President, Oconee Site Duke Energy Corporation P. 0. Box 1439 Seneca, SC 29679
SUBJECT:
EVALUATION OF GENERIC LETTER 95-07, "PRESSURE LOCKING AND THERMAL BINDING OF SAFETY-RELATED POWER-OPERATED GATE VALVES," RESPONSE FOR THE OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1, 2 AND 3 (TAC NOS. M93492, M93493 AND M93494)
Dear Mr. McCollum:
On August 17, 1995, the NRC issued Generic Letter (GL) 95-07, "Pressure Locking and Thermal Binding of Safety-Related Power-Operated Gate Valves," to request that licensees take actions to ensure that safety-related power-operated gate valves that are susceptible to pressure locking or thermal binding are capable of performing their safety functions.
In a letter of February 13, 1996, Duke Power Company (Duke) (currently Duke Energy Corporation) submitted its 180-day response to GL 95-07 for the Oconee Nuclear Station. The NRC staff reviewed the licensee's submittal and requested additional information in letters dated June 13, 1996, and June 23, 1997. By letters dated July 18, 1996, and August 21 and October 9, 1997, Duke provided the additional information.
The NRC staff has reviewed Duke's submittals and finds that Duke has adequately addressed the actions requested in GL 95-07, as discussed in the enclosed Safety Evaluation. This action closes TAC Nos. M93492, M93493 and M93494.
