SUBJECT:
EDWIN 1. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 RE: SAFETY EVALUATION OF LICENSEE RESPONSE TO GENERIC LETTER 96-05, (TAC NOS. M97054 AND M97055)
Dear Mr. Sum'ier:
On September 18,1996, the NRC issued Generic Letter (GL) 96-05, " Periodic Verification of Design-Basis Capability of Safety-Related Motor-Operated Valves," requesting each nuclear power plant licensee to establish a program, or to ensure the effectiveness of its current program, to verify on a periodic basis that safety-related motor-operated valves (MOVs) continue to be capable of performing their safety functions within the current licensing bases of the facility.
On October 29,1996, you submitted a 60-day response to GL 96-05 stating that you would implement the requested MOV periodic verification program at Edwin 1. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. On March 17,1997, you submitted a 180-day response to GL 96-05 providing a summary description of the MOV penodic verification program planned to be implemented at Hatch. In a letter dated February 27,1998, you updated your commitment to GL 96-05. On April 9,1999, you provided a response to a request for additional information regarding GL 96-05 forwarded by the NRC staff on January 28,1999.
We have reviewed your submittals and applicable NRC inspection reports for the MOV program at Hatch. Based on our understanding of your commitment to all three phases of the Joint Owners Group (JOG) Program on MOV Periodic Verification, we find that you have established an acceptable program to verify periodically the design-basis capability of the safety-related MOVs at Hatch. As discussed in the enclosed safety evaluation (SE), we conclude thr,i you are g
adequately addressing the actions requested in GL 96-05. The NRC staff may conduct I
inspections at Hatch to verify that the implementation of the MOV periodic verification program is in accordance with your commitments; this NRC SE; the NRC SE dated October 30,1997, on i
