Dear Mr. Haynes:

NRC IE BULLETIN NO. 81-02 '

SUPPLEMENT NO, 1 FAILURE OF GATE TYPE VALVES TO CLOSE AGAINST DIFFERENTIAT. PRESSURd HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION The following is the reply to IE Bulletin No. 81-02, Supplement One.

PSE&G's Architect Engineer, Bechtel Power Corporation, has surveyed their safety-related purchase orders and identified those valves that could be impacted by the subject NRC Bulletin. All vendors, including the NSSS supplier, were then contacted and have verbally confirmed that no motor -

operated Westinghouse gate valves described in Bulletin No.81-02S are used in safety-related applications at Hope Creek.

Since all vendor's replies to Bechtel have been verbal, PSE&G Engineering adds support to the Bechtel statements that no Westinghouse motor-operated subject gate valves are used at Hope Creek far the following reasons:

1. PSE&G Engineering reviews all valve drawings submitted by Bechtel and they have not seen any of the subject Westinghouse valve drawings.
2. There has been no purchase order issued by Bechtel to Westinghouse for their type valves at Hope Creek.
