Dear Mr. O'Reilly:

IE Bulletin 81-02, Supplement No.1, " Failure of Gate Type Valves to Close Against Differential Pressure," required identification and action taken or planned for Westinghouse Electro-Mechanical Division 6, 8,10,12,14,16, and 18-inch naninal size valves in addition to 3-and 4-inch valves Ireviously subnitted. Table 1 tabulates the required information for each of these additional valves. We following corrective action was identified and parformed on each valve as follows:

x Torque Switch Adjustment y Gear mange z 'Ibrque to Limit Closed Final documentation changes are being processed.

m is letter also serves as the final report on the subject additional valves and follows up on the South Carolina Electric and Gas Company notification to the NRC Region II on June 30, 1981. An interim report dated July 30, 1981, was transmitted as referenced above.
