Item B-64: Decommissioning of Reactors
DESCRIPTION
Decommissioning is defined as the orderly retirement of a nuclear facility from service and the safe disposition of the remaining radioactivity.
Decommissioning is defined as the orderly retirement of a nuclear facility from service and the safe disposition of the remaining radioactivity.
There are several systems connected to the reactor coolant pressure boundary that have design pressures that are considerably below the reactor coolant s
The methods used to establish safe operating limits for reactor cores were developed about 10 years ago.
This issue was identified in NUREG-0471[1]and addressed the establishment of surveillance test
The presence of a loose (i.e., disengaged and/or drifting) object in the primary coolant system can be indicative of degraded reactor safety resulting from failure or weakening of a sa
The majority of the presently operating BWRs and PWRs are designed to operate with less than full reactor coolant flow.
This NUREG-0471[1]task will make a determination as to whether plants should be designed to accommodate a total loss of all
The BWR pressure relief system is designed to prevent overpressurization of the reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB) under the most severe abnormal operational transient: closure o
