Licensecs' investigations following preopera-tional tests and spurious valve closures have indicated that these valves, particularly those of the check-valve type, may be subject to generic failures.

To permit evaluation of the e:: tent of the probica, the suitability of specific valves for isolation purposes under postulated steam line rup-ture accident conditions, and the appropt:iateness of possible rcnedial measures, you are requested to provide the follouing specific information:

1.

Facility name and unit number.

2.

A line diagram or sketch, showing the locations of the isolation valve (s) with some identification of the type of each valve (check; globe, gate; etc.).

3.

Assembly or sectional drawings of each valve type with dimensions and identificatica of material.

4.

Name of the manufacturer of cach valve type.

5.

Steam line pressure at full pouer and at hot stand-by conditions, compared with valve design pressure.

6.

Functional design requirements contained in the original -design specifications for each valve.

7.

An assessment of the adequacy of each valve type to perform the isolation. function under postulated steam line rupture accident conditions.

8.

Discussion of any operational malfunctions of cach valve.
