L Althouch NRC staff has detemined that reducing EDG cold fast starts would improve EDG reliability and therefore, the risk of core damage from station blackout events, it was not NRC staff's intent to eliminate completely the L
testing of the remaining EDG when an EDG is declared inoperable. NRC staff intent was only to reduce testina. Therefore, the Commonwealth rdison Company proposed changes were denied.
