Dear Mr. Grigg:

On August 17,1995, the NRC issued Generic Letter (GL) 95-07, " Pressure Locking and Thermal Binding of Safety-Related Power-Operated Gate Valves," to request that licensees take actions to ensure that safety related power-operated gate valves that are susceptible to pressure locking or thermal binding are capable of performing their safety functions.

By letter dated February 9.1996, Wisconsin Electric Power Company (WE) submitted its 180-day response to GL 95-07 for the Point Beach Nuclear Plant. The NRC staff reviewed WE's

- February 9,1996, submittal, and requested additionalinformation in letters dated June 11,1996 and July 10,1997. By letters dated July 17,1996, and August 27,1997, WE provided additional information in response to the NRC staffs requests.

The NRC staff has reviewed WE's submittals of February 9 and July 17,1996, and August 27, t 1997. The staff finds that WE has adequately addressed the requested actions of GL 95-07, as discussed in the enclosed safety evaluation.
