SUBJECT: -
NRC MOTOR OPERATED VALVE INSPECTION 50-443/98-08
. Dear Dr. Feigenbaum:
(
' This letter transmits the results of the NRC inspection conducted from -
September 21-25,1998, at Seabrook Station. The inspection focused on areas important
to public health and safety, and consisted of an independent evaluation of the motor-
operated valve (MOV) program associated with NRC Generic Letter (GL) 89-10, " Safety-
Related Motor-Operated Valve Testing and Surveillance." At the conclusion of the
,
inspection, the preliminary findings were discussed with members of your staff on
l
September 25,1998.
I'
Based on the reviews completed and open items closed, the NRC is closing its review of-
-- the GL 89-10 program at the Seabrook Station and will review your long-term MOV
program under GL 96-05," Periodic Verification of Design-Basis Capability of Safety-
Related Motor-Operated Valves." North Atlantic Energy Service Corporation has
1
' demonstrated the design-basis capability of its safety-related MOVs and its use of up-to-
date industry test data to establish more conservative motor actuator capabilities was a
notable engineering strength of the GL 89-10 program.
'In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter
and the enclosure:: will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).

Sincerely
