DESCRIPTION Historical Background The April 13, 1979 incident at Sweden's Barseback-1 nuclear plant involving the failure of a generator rotor retaining ring was identified by AEOD in 1982 as a potential generic safety issue. [1] As a result of the AEOD …
1
DESCRIPTION This issue was raised in an AEOD memorandum [1] to NRR and OIE in October 1980 and addressed the problem of flow blockage by Asiatic clams (Corbicula) in redundant safety-related cooling water systems at Arkansas Nuclear One. CONCLUSION This …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] after AEOD completed a study on internal appurtenances in LWRs. This study, AEOD/E101, [2] was initiated because of the relatively high number of LERs that described events in which internal …

DESCRIPTION Historical Background On June 19, 1981, AEOD issued a preliminary report [1] on the incident at Calvert Cliffs Unit 1 in which the plant lost both redundant trains of service water when the service water system became air-bound as a result of …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] when AEOD expressed concerns about the use inside containment of a particular polymer coating that could flake off and fail when subjected to DBA conditions. In addition to the concern for …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was initiated in response to an immediate action memorandum [1] issued by AEOD in September 1981 regarding desiccant contamination of instrument air lines. NRR responded to the AEOD memorandum by establishing a …

DESCRIPTION Concerns for inoperability of instrumentation due to extreme cold weather were raised [1] by AEOD after an event at Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2 (ANO-2) in which all four RWST instrumentation channels were lost when the level transmitters …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This proposed generic issue has its origin in a January 1981 event at Millstone Unit 2. [1] An operator inadvertently opened a 125V DC main feeder breaker, causing the loss of one of the two redundant emergency systems …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background On April 7, 1980, Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO) Units 1 and 2 experienced a significant event resulting from a loss of offsite power. Although both units were safely shut down, the analysis and evaluation of the event …
1
DESCRIPTION An AEOD memorandum [1] to NRR on July 15, 1980, identified the concern that some operating nuclear power plants do not have technical specifications or Administrative controls governing operational restrictions for Class 1E 120 VAC vital …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background In an AEOD memorandum [1] to NRR, it was concluded that the design of the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, under certain conditions, allowed manual interconnection of redundant electrical load groups, thereby …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was raised in a DL memorandum [1] to DST in March 1982 and addressed the subject of service water system (SWS) fouling at operating plants primarily by aquatic bivalves. Prior to and following this memorandum, …
1
DESCRIPTION This issue was raised in an AEOD memorandum [1] to NRR in May 1982 and addressed the problem of flow blockage by blue mussels (Mytilus Edilus) in the reactor building closed cooling water system at Pilgrim. CONCLUSION This issue has been …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background In December 1981, AEOD completed a survey of valve operator-related events that occurred during 1978, 1979, and 1980 and submitted a draft report [1] to NRR for comment. In this study, AEOD established that motor- …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background In August 1982, AEOD reviewed a number of LERs related to Class 1E safety related switchgear circuit breakers and found a high incidence of their failure to close on demand. A preliminary report was written and …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified at an NRC Operating Reactor Events meeting on January 7, 1982, [1] and addressed fire protection system (FPS) actuations that resulted in adverse interactions with safety-related equipment at …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The containment flooding issue stems from a flooding event that occurred at the Indian Point 2 reactor in October 1980. [1] A large quantity of water leaked from fan coolers onto the containment building floor and …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background As a result of the loss of high head injection capability at McGuire Unit 1 on February 12, 1982, this issue was raised by Region II because plant TS require (somewhat rapid) plant shutdown if certain safety equipment is …
1
DESCRIPTION The issue of lamellar tearing was originally addressed in NUREG-0410 [1] in connection with Technical Activity No. A-12, "Fracture Toughness of Steam Generator and Reactor Coolant Pump Supports." The significance of this issue as a potential …
1
DESCRIPTION This issue was raised in November 1981 by the Materials Engineering Branch (MTEB), DE/NRR, and was based on the concern that NRC provides no control regulations or guides for bolting other than for the reactor vessel head. CONCLUSION In …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Protection systems in nuclear power plants are required to meet the design criteria of IEEE-279, "Criteria for Protection Systems for Nuclear Power Generating Stations." [1] One of the criteria of IEEE-279 requires that …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was raised [1] by DSI/NRR in August 1982 [2] following a search of LERs which suggested that additional licensing attention was needed for certain ancillary power plant equipment. The available information …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background During the period 1978 to 1980, there were reports of fatigue failure of thermal sleeve assemblies in the piping systems of both PWRs and BWRs. The BWR problem was addressed by GE in NEDO-21821 and was resolved with a …
