Specifically the generic letter requested licensees to take the following actions:
- 1. Compare electrical schematic drawings and logic diagrams for the reactor protection system, emergency diesel generator load shedding and sequencing, and actuation logic for engineered safety features against plant surveillance test procedures to ensure dl portions of the logic circuitry including the parallel logic, interlocks, bypasses and inhibit circuits, are adequately covered iri the surveillance procedures to fulfill technical specification requirements. This review should also include relay contacts, control switches, and other relevant electrical components within these systems, utiliz::d in the logic circuits performing a safety function.
- 2. Modify the surveillance procedures as necessary for complete testing to comply with the technical specifica; ions. Additionally, the licensee may request an amendment to the technical specification if relief from certain testing requirements can bejustified.
