1 FPC ; has reviewed ~ the generic. letter and itemized ' our responses ,

below. .FPC is developing an MOV test program utilizing the

-recommendations of the generic letter to the extent possible. It h is our-intent to' develop a program which assures that MOV's will l function when required. There are approximately 100 MOV's in the J"p- .FPC~ test program.

' FPC . is presently planning -- to- meet the schedule requirements to L, ' complete: the initial ~ valve test program within three (3) refueling l;j outages. . ' However, tne industry is in the process of developing MOV

, testing methods and additional-information discovered during this process.regarding DP testing, similarity of valves, database use, j

. degraded . voltage and other considerations could cause unforseen L -delays in ecmpleting the. initial test program.

p . .

E- ~ The following responses are provided'to your recommended actions l (Items a through h) and- schedule (Itens i through k) in the generic l L ' letter. Exceptions and clarifications are provided ).s-.necessary.

I r Item a' FPC is in the process of reviewing and documenting l

the design-basis for CR-3 safety related and position changeable Mov's. This effort is' ongoing and will be completed with tM initial MOV test program. The documentatich " & esses the maximum differential pressures expec ,,. .'or each MOV whether under normal or abnormal operatL n, and in the open or closed direction, whicheve.- is greater.

Itera b The MOV test program will include provisions to establish the correct switch settings.

Methodologies to select and set proper switch settings are developed from sources such as the DP testing performed in accordance with IEB 85-03, FPC's program utilizing consulting services to provide MOV data, and other vendor / utility data for j similar valves as this data becomes available.

Insitu DP testing is intended to be used where  ;

practical. Maintenance procedures will be reviewed )

and revised as necessary to maintain current 4 information. )

Item e^ FPC has undertaken a separate effort to review the degraded voltage effects on electrical equipment. ,

'The results of this effort will be factored into

- the ciOV t est program.-  !

--I t e m - f The FPC MOV program will include the maintenance of historical data which willLinclude actual testing and maintenance performed on each MOV. MOV testing a N will be performed as described above and. on MOV's

- which have%en replaced, modified, or undergone

overhaulf if it is determined that the existing test ,

results are no longer valid.  !

a Item a FPC will review the list of discrepancies, included with Generic Letter 89-10 as Attachment A, and consider them in the development of the MOV valve test; program.

E '

Item h The FPC MOV test program data system will review those MOV's tested during an outage. . After the completion of the outage, the historical database i will be updated and reviewed for information and

, trend purposes. Trending information wul ne fed back into the MOV test program as deemed necessery.

ATTACHMENT schedule item-i FPC plans to complete the initial testing of all the MOV 's' ' ati CR-3 within the~ three refueling outage schedula, providing the test program can be applied to all lof the1MOV's; as described above. This testing program 11s dependent on the availability of

e i the necessary-- documentation. for each MOV and the

' ability to actually perform the; test as: recommended without undue. stress to the MOV's or plant systems..

' Item i- FPC's present plan is-to surveil each MOV on a three (3) refueling outage schedule. This-schedule is dependent on MOV history and industry guidelines and:-

will be. modified accordingly.

Jtem'k- The present FPC MOV testing schedule is to complete o the initial Mov testing of all Mov's bylthe end of

- the third refueling (Refuel 9) with exceptions'as

= described above.
