DESCRIPTION Historical Background As identified in NUREG-0471, [1] Appendix K of 10 CFR 50 specifies the requirements for LWR ECCS analysis. These requirements call for specific conservatisms to be applied to certain models and correlations used in the …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background As identified in NUREG-0471, [1] this issue involved following the work of research groups in determining best estimate decay heat data and associated uncertainties for use in LOCA calculations. Safety Significance No …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background As identified in NUREG-0471, [1] this issue involved staff evaluations of vendors' data and approaches for determining LOCA heat sources and developing staff positions as needed. The contributors to LOCA heat sources, …
DESCRIPTION This NUREG-0471 [1] task will respond to a concern of the ACRS about the effectiveness of various containment sprays to remove airborne radioactive materials which could be present within the containment following a LOCA. This concern has been …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The operating experience of nuclear power plants indicates that a number of valves, valve operators, and pumps fail to operate as specified in the technical specifications either under testing conditions or when they are …
DESCRIPTION This NUREG-0471 [1] item was an ACRS generic concern that initially addressed the common mode failure of identical components exposed to identical or nearly-identical conditions or environments. This concern was later expanded to include other …
DESCRIPTION Licensees are required to estimate the design-basis flood levels for each nuclear power plant site consistent with the requirements in General Design Criterion 2, "Design Bases for Protection against Natural Phenomena," of Appendix A, "General …
DESCRIPTION SRP [1] Section 15.7.3 requires an analysis of the consequences of failure of tanks containing radioactive liquids outside containment. This NUREG-0471 [2] task involves the development of a NUREG report that will describe a consistent and …
DESCRIPTION Interpretations of NEPA require the environmental impact assessment include land use impacts and alternatives in nuclear power plant licensing cases. The staff has performed both economic and non-economic land resource assessments in …
DESCRIPTION There are no current criteria for acceptability of solidification agents. This NUREG-0471 [1] task involves the development of criteria for acceptability of radwaste solidification agents to properly implement a process control program for the …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue is described in NUREG-0471 [1] and was raised by the ACRS who recommended that studies be made of the technique for seismic scram and the potential safety advantages and disadvantages of prompt reactor scram, …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue is identified in Appendix D of NUREG-0572 [1] and is one of the key observations made after the ACRS requested its members and consultants to make comprehensive reviews of all Licensee Event Reports (LERs) …
DESCRIPTION Background This issue was identified [1] after a review of LERs involving the failure or degraded performance of essential equipment that resulted from the failure of protective devices such as fuses and circuit breakers. The affected systems …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue is identified in Appendix D of NUREG-0572 [1] and is one of the key observations made after the ACRS requested its members and consultants to make comprehensive reviews of all LERs issued during the years 1976, …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The exact scope of this issue is unclear and SPEB has used the following interpretation in its evaluation. Based on an ACRS-sponsored review of LERs, [1] it was concluded that the criteria used for setting up equipment …
DESCRIPTION The concern of this issue involves the requirement for verification that the balance-of-plant equipment satisfies the design intent. This issue was identified in NUREG-0705. [1] CONCLUSION Task I.F in NUREG-0660, [2] the TMI Action Plan, is a …
DESCRIPTION Background Flow-induced vibrations caused by vortex shedding resulting from rapid area change, buffeting due to random flow turbulence, fluid structures interaction instability, leakage excitation, steady operation of positive displacement …
DESCRIPTION This issue which is identified in NUREG-0705 [1] was raised because of the discovery of stress corrosion cracking in the low pressure discs of Westinghouse-designed turbines. CONCLUSION This issue is not by itself a distinct generic issue but …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue addressed the potential problem of radiation embrittlement of reactor vessel support structures (RVSS). It was originally identified as a Candidate USI in NUREG-0705 [1] where it was recommended for further …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background In the event of a LOCA in which offsite power remains available, the reactor operator may choose to shut down the emergency diesel generators shortly after the LOCA. If, after the diesels are shut down, offsite power is …
DESCRIPTION On November 10, 1979, an event occurred at the Oconee Power Station, Unit 3, that resulted in loss of power to a non-Class 1E 120-volt AC single-phase power panel that supplied power to the integrated control system (ICS) and the nonnuclear …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This concern was raised [1] because of the potential for a high-altitude nuclear weapon detonation causing a large electromagnetic pulse (EMP) which subsequently could induce large currents and voltages in electrical …
DESCRIPTION This issue originated from NUREG-0572 [1] where the ACRS identified vibration-induced equipment failures resulting from various loading conditions; it was later included in the initial list [2] of new issues that were identified for …
DESCRIPTION In a San Onofre Unit 1 Preliminary Notification issued in September 1980, it was reported that, during testing, the licensee had identified a problem with the design of the diesel generator sequencing circuitry. This problem occurred when a …
DESCRIPTION This issue was identified during plant design and emergency procedure reviews which raised questions as to whether certain safety actions have to be accomplished automatically or whether manual operator action is acceptable. CONCLUSION This …
