SUBJECT:
GENERIC LETTER 96-05, " PERIODIC VERIFICATION OF DESIGN-BASIS CAPABILITY OF SAFETY-RELATED MOTOR-OPERATED VALVES" BRAIDWOOD STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 (TAC NOS. M97018 AND M97019)
Dear Mr. Kingsley:
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 November 13,1996, Commonwealth Edison Company (Comed) submitted a 60-day response to GL 96-05 notifying the NRC that, as requested in the generic letter, it would establish a program at Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2, to verify on a periodic basis that safety-related MOVs continue to be capable of performing their safety functions within the current licensing bases of the facility. On March 15,1997, Comed submitted a 180-day response to GL 96-05 providing a summary description of the MOV periodic verification program planned to be implemented at Braidwood. Comed provided an updated GL 96-05 submittal on August 24,1998, and on April 12,1999, provided a response to an NRC staff's request of February 4,1999, for additionalinformuon regarding the GL 96-05 program.
We have reviewed Comed's submittals and applicable NRC inspection reports for the MOV f
program at Braidwood. Based on our understanding of Comed's commitment to all three
[
phases of the Joint Owners Group (JOG) Program on MOV Periodic Verification, we have concluded that Comed has established an acceptable program to verify periodically the design-basis capability of the safety-related MOVs at Braidwood. As discussed in the enclosed safety evaluation (SE), we conclude that Comed is adequately addressing the actions requested in GL 96-05. The NRC staff may conduct inspections at Braidwood to verify the implementation of Ok 9
