SUBJECT:

COMPLETION OF LICENSING ACTION FOR GENERIC LETTER 96-01,

" TESTING OF SAFETY-RELATED LOGIC CIRCUITS," DATED JANUARY 10, 1996; FERMI 2, (TAC NO. M94677)

Dear Mr. Gipson:

i 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 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:

i

1. Compare electrical schematics and logic diagrams for the reactor protection system, ,

emergency diesel generator load shedding and sequencing, and actuation logic for the I engineered safety feature systems against plant surveillance test procedures to ensure g that all portions of the logic circuitry, including the parallel logic, interlocks, bypasses, and t inhibit circuits, are adequately covered in the surveillance procedures to fulfill the technical specificatien requirements. This review should also include relay contacts, control switches, and c ther relevant electrical components within these systems, utilized 1 (1 in the logic circuits performing a safety function; and

2. Modify the surveillance procedures as necessary for complete testing to comply with the technical specifications. In addition, licensees could request an amendment to the -

technical specifications if relief from certain testing requirements could be justified.
