This report summarizes actions taken and                              i information compiled                      response to GL 89-10,*                     including in supplements.          This Closecut Report will be included in the MOV Program Manual, which is maintained as a controlled document.
Northeast Nuclear Energy Company's (NNECO) GL 89-10 MOV Program i      identified safety-related MOVs and their design basis functions, 4
and demonstrated through testing, analysis, and where necessary, modifications, the ability of those valves to fulfill those 1
functions with a high level of certainty. This program included
;      several proactive features, such as:
Use of Kalsi Engineering,                Inc., KEI Gate Program for non-testable valves in place of the Electric Power Research Institute's Performance Prediction Methodology which was I
delayed, Development of a comprehensive and consistent structural analysis procedure which replaced diverse vendor seismic weak 4              link calculations, and 4
4 Employment of consistently-determined results from three other operating Northeast Utilities (NU) nuclear power plants to
;              further validate program assumptions.
In addition, NNECO and NU have been aggressive in addressing recent a      pressure locking and thermal binding concerns.
The closeout Report also identifies longer term actions being

      'U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission-B15388/Page 2 October.6,-1995 The Closeout Report 'also . identifies longer ' term actions being implemented to ensure, on a' continuing basis, that these safety-
 ;   - related MOVs will remain capable of fulfilling their' design basis functions'.- With these longer term actions, the Millstone Unit No.
      '3 MOV Program becomes a living program which will use performance monitoring and trending to identify problems in advance and adjust programmatic activity to maximize its benefit while minimizing the impact-of MOV work on outage durations.
Commitments B15388-1 NNECO hereby commits to maintaining the MOV Program Manual as the         !
:  controlling document for the Millstone Unit No. 3 MOV Program.
I   - NNECO reserves' the right ' to make changes to the Manual, in accordance with our procedures for- revision of controlled documents, while preserving conformation with GL 89-10 and its' supplements.
,      We believe the foregoing'information will support the NRC Staff's closure of NNECO's GL 89-10 efforts for Millstone ' Unit No.         3.
