Dear Mr. Opeka:
Subject:
MOTOR-OPERATED VALVE (MOV) INSPECTION AT HADDAM NECK
PLANT (NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-213/92-81)
This letter refers to the NRC team inspection conducted on October 5-9,1992 at the Haddam
Neck Plant, East Haddam, Connecticut to evaluate the adequacy of your actions in response
to NRC Generic Letter 89-10, " Safety-Related Motor-Operated Valve Testing and
Surveillance." This generic letter and its supplements provided recommendations to the
licensees to ensure operability of safety-related MOVs that play vital roles in protecting the
health and safety of the public during design-basis conditions.
Our inspectors observed that many details of your MOV program were still in preliminary
stages of development. For example, the project instructions (PIs), which will implement
your MOV program, were in various stages of completion. As such, you have not
completed any design-basis testing for the Generic Letter 89-10 program. We recognize
your recent efforts, as commit:ed in your letter dated May 4,1992, to complete your MOV
Pts by December 31,1992.
The results of this inspection, as detailed in the enclosed report, were discussed during the
exit meeting on October 9,1992. At the exit meeting, your staff acknowledged the
inspection findings and agreed to review the areas for resolution as summarized in Table 1.
On October 29, November 12 and December 10, 1992, your staff further clarified several of
your commitments. Also, the status of your actions in response to the findings of this
inspection was reviewed. This inspection concluded on January 5,1993, when your staff
confirmed that the December 31,1992 commitment noted above had been completed with the
issuance of the MOV program manual on December 18, 1992. If your understanding of the
actions to enhance the MOV program as summarized in Table 1 is different, please notify me
in writing as soon as possible.
