the periodic verification of the capability of safety-related motor-operated valves (MOVs) to perform their safety functions consistent with the current licensing bases of nuclear plants, (2) request that addressees implement actions to establish or verify the effectiveness of programs concerning periodic verification of MOV capability, and (3) require that addressees provide to the NRC a written response relating to implementation of the actions requested by the generic letter.
By letters dated November 15,1996, and March 13,1997, Monticello provided the requested 60 day and 180 day responses to NRC Generic Letter 96-05 for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.
On October 30,1997, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued the referenced Safety j
Evaluation (SE), which within the conditions and limitations described in the SE, stated that the Staff considers the Joint Owner's Group (JOG) Program on MOV Periodic Verification an acceptable industry-wide response to Generic Letter 96-05. The JOG I
had agreed that after the issuance of the SE, requests would be made for participating licenses to notify the NRC of their plans to implement the JOG program described in Revision 2 of the topical report which was the subject of the SE (i.e., NEDC-32719) and that any deviations from the JOG program would be justified.
