UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555--0001 Mr. Kurt M. Haas Plant Safety and Licensing Director Palisades Plant 27780 Blue Star Memorial Highway Covert, MI 49043 June 12, 1995
SUBJECT:
PALISADES PLANT - GENERIC LETTER 89 MOTOR-OPERATED VALVE (MOV)
PROGRAM CHANGES AND CLARIFICATIONS (TAC NOS. M92099 and M92200)
Dear Mr. Haas:
On April 20, 1995, you submitted a request for changes to the Palisades MOV program established in response to Generic Letter (GL) 89-10, "Safety-Related Motor-Operated Valve Testing and Surveillance." These changes or clarifications included (1) clarification of the closeout date for the programmatic actions associated with GL 89-10, (2) removal of two valves from identified MOV dynamic testing, and (3) removal of eight auxiliary feedwater MOVs from the scope of GL 89-10.
Your clarification of the closeout date for GL 89-10 contain~d three milestones:
(1) complete all planned MOV dynamic testing during the 1995 refueling outage and ve'rify the design-basis capability of all GL 89-10 program MOVs, (2) provide documentation of MOVs' design-basis capability within 1 month of startup from the 1995 refueling outage, and (3) complete the final adjustment to the long-term programmatic elements of the MOV program on or before December 15, 1995.
The long-term elements include the tracking and trending program, periodic verification testing program, and program transition to a long-term maintenance mode.
The staff finds the above schedule acceptable.
Your request also in~luded removal of M0-3015 and M0-3016, shutdown cooling isolation valves, from the GL 89-10 dynamic testing; however, we understand these. va 1 ves re.main fn the GL 89--10 program ahd settings-wi 11 be b*ased on best-available data.
You stated as part of your justification that dynamic testing of these two valves will not yield meaningful results and also is not practical.
You plan on verifying MOV capabilities through analysis and best-available data.
In addition, you also requested removal of eight auxiliary feedwater MOVs (M0-0743, M0-0748, M0-0753, M0-0754, M0-0755, M0-0759, M0-0760, and M0-0798) from the scope of the GL 89-10 program.
You have determined that these eight valves meet the exclusion requirements because they were associated with a now-abandoned function to automatically isolate feedwater flow to a faulted 1 steam generator.
You stated that these normally open auxiliary feedwater MOVs will have the position of their power supply breakers modified to prevent

inadvertent mispositioning.

~rogram, including ~ctibn~ discussed in you~ April 20 letter.
On April 24, 1995, 'you notified the staff of a* change to a commitment regarding four low pressure safety injection valves made in response to an NRC Diagnostic *Evalu~tlon Team inspection. According to y6ur -letter, you now do not plan on inspe~ting the valve internals ~f M0-3008, MP-3010, M0-3012, and M0-3014 io response to thei~'. averthrust.condition.
The actions to be taken
, during.the 1995 refueling outage include.static and dynamic testing.of these valves.
You,state thaf internal valve inspections will be performed 'if the tests reveal anomal ie_s that could impair valve design function.
