rs and frequencies specified in the IST table are required to satisfy the applicable 3.9.6-19 Revision 4 – March 2017 requirements in Subsection ISTC of the ASME OM Code as incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a, unless relief or an alternative is requested and authorized. In IST table notes for each applicable valve, the applicant should provide its justifications for IST frequencies extended to cold shutdowns or refueling outages, and should reference applicable relief and alternative requests. D. The provisions for IST activities for RTNSS valves specified by a COL applicant for a passive new plant are acceptable if consistent with the Commission policy in SECY-95-132 as described in the NRC public memorandum dated July 24, 1995, on RTNSS equipment. E. The following provides additional acceptance criteria for specific valve or actuator types, and leak testing: i. Inservice Testing Program for Motor-Operated Valves (1) The applicant should describe its IST program attributes for meeting the IST provisions in the ASME OM Code for MOVs as incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a. In addition to the IST program requirements in the ASME OM Code, 10 CFR 50.55(b)(3)(ii) requires establishment of a program to ensure that the MOVs continue to be capable of performing their design-basis safety functions. The Joint Owners Group (JOG) MOV Periodic Verification Program established in response to GL 96-05, “Periodic Verification of Design-Basis Capability of Safety-Related Motor-Operated Valves,” as accepted in the NRC safety evaluation dated September 25, 2006, and NRC supplement to the safety evaluation dated September 18, 2008, may be used to address the potential degradation in operating thrust and torque requirements for the periodic verification of MOV design-basis capability. The actuator output capability was not addressed as part of the JOG program and, therefore, will be addressed separately. ASME Code Cases OMN-1, “Alternative Rules for Preservice and
