The supplements will identify, by plant identification number, all Unit 1 and 2 TMI Action Plan equipment, regardless of the implementation dates, requiring environmental qualification and will provide the System Component Evaluation Worksheets, which will adddress the qualification status of the equipment.
The format of the supplements will be consistent with the previous submittals.
The supplements will be forwarded directly to the Of fice of Inspection and Enforcement (Unit 1) and Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (Unit 2) as established and required by IE Bulletin 79-01B and NUREG-0588.
