SUBJECT:
COMPLETION OF LICENSING ACTION FOR GENERIC LETTER 96-01, 4
" TESTING OF SAFETY-RELATED LOGIC CIRCUlTS"- QUAD CITIES, UNIT 1 (TAC NO. M94722)
Dear Mr. Kingsley:
On January 10,1996, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Generic Letter (GL) 96-01, " Testing of Safety-Related Logic Circuits," to all holders of operating licenses or construction permits. The NRC issued GL 96-01 for three principal reasons:
1.
Notify addressees about problems with testing of safety-related logic circuits; 2.
request that all addressees implement the actions described within the GL; and 3.
require that all addressees submit a written response to the NRC regarding implementation of the requested actions.
In GL 96-01, the NRC staff specifically requested that licensees take the foliowing actions.
1.
Compare electrical schematics and logic diagrams for the reactor protection system, emergency diesel generator load shedding and sequencing, and actuation logic for the engineered safety feature systems against plant surveillance test procedures to ensure that all portions of the logic circuitry, including the parallel logic, interlocks, bypasses, and inhibit circuits, are adequately covered in the surveillance procedures to fulfill the technical specification (TS) requirements. This review should also include relay contacts, control switches, and other relevant electrical components within these systems, utilized in the logic circuits performing a safety function; and 2.
Modify the surveillance procedures, as necessary, for complete testing to comply with the TS. Additionally, the licensee may request an amendment to the TS if relief from certain testing requirements can be Justified.
Furthermore, the NRC staff required that addressees prepare and submit the following:
- 1.
A written response indicating whether or not the licensee would implement the actions required above or propose an attemative action; pW p 9901210182 990112 PDR ADOCK 05000254 P
