Resolution of Generic Safety Issues: Item B-62: Reexamination of Technical Bases for Establishing SLs, LSSSs, and Reactor Protection System Trip Functions ( NUREG-0933, Main Report with Supplements 1–35 )

DESCRIPTION

The methods used to establish safe operating limits for reactor cores were developed about 10 years ago. At present, safety margins are reviewed utilizing previous staff judgments based on individual plant reviews. A uniform staff position needs to be developed for application to core performance reviews of new plant and to reloads and core modifications of operating plants. This item is documented in NUREG-0471.³

CONCLUSION

This item is a Licensing Issue that has been dropped from further consideration.⁴¹²
