Operating Experience


OE and Lessons Learned" Motor operated valves (MOV)

Industry experience and regulatory guidance shall be incorporated intoMOV Program (e.g.)- JOG Program will be incorporated

o Report MPR-2425-A used as a starting point for Class D valves0 Periodic verification based on safety significance classification and functional

margino Extensive qualification testing will be employed to quantify degradation issues

* Other power operated valves (AOV, SOV and HOV)o RIS 2000-03, program attributes will incorporate MOV lessons learned, Performance data information from NUREG/CR-6644

" Check Valves, NUREG/CR-5944 - Characterization of degradation and failures (e.g.)

IIV Qualification

* Comply with

, QME-1 (2007): End of life test, design basis event, production testing

, IEEE-323: Class 1 E equipment (MOV, SOV, Switches) purchasequalified components

, IEEE-382: Actuator qualification done by Actuator vendor

, IEEE-344: Seismic test/analysis methods (shake table testing,analytical methods)

• Create report per QV-7461.1

* Reports for production valve

(qualified valve)

per QV-7463.1
