Request that all addressees implement the actions described within the generic letter; and 3.
Require that all addressees submit to the NRC a written response regarding implementation of the requested actions.
In GL 96-01, the NRC staff specifically requested that licensees take the following 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 requirements. This
