References:

1) Safety Evaluation on Joint Owners'roup Program on Periodic Verification of Motor-Operated Valves Described in Topical Report NEDC-32719, Revision 2, dated October 30, 1997

2) Generic Letter 96-05, "Periodic Verification of Design Basis Capability of Safety-Related Motor-Operated Valves," dated September 18, 1996 On October 30, 1997, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued the reference 1) Safety Evaluation (SE), which within the conditions and limitations described in the SE, stated that the Staff considers the Joint Owners'roup (JOG) Program on Motor-Operated Valve Periodic Verification an acceptable industry-wide response to Generic Letter (GL) 96-05.

The JOG had agreed that after the issuance of the SE, requests would be made for participating utilities to notify the NRC of their plans to implemerit the JOG Program on Periodic Verification of Motor-Operated Valves, (i.e., NEDC-32719, Revision 2) and that any deviations from the JOG program would be justified.

By this letter, the Supply System is providing the requested response. The Supply System plans to continue to participate in the JOG Motor-Operated Valve Periodic Verification Program as a member of the Boiling Water Reactor Owners'roup and plans to implement the program elements described in Topical Report NEDC-32719, Revision 2.
