In addition, please provide a sequence of events, including timing, assuming that the EDG protective features actuate in response to a LOOP.

Please discuss how many EDGs are needed to perform a safe shutdown during a design basis accident. In addition, please discuss the actions taken when one EDG is declared inoperable for testing to ensure that testing does not affect the independent safe shutdown capabilities of the remaining EDGs or the other safety systems.
