DESCRIPTION Historical Background STS for newer OLs require licensees to keep account of the number of transient occurrences to ensure that transient limits, based on design assumptions, are not exceeded. However, a number of older plants for which …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background On March 18, 1983, B&W expressed [1] concern for unanalyzed reactor vessel thermal stress that could occur during natural convection cooldown of PWRs. The concern emerged from a preliminary B&W evaluation of a voiding …

DESCRIPTION Historical Background In October 1982, the Executive Director for Operations appointed the Committee to Review Safety Requirements at Power Reactors (CRSRPR) to review U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) security requirements at nuclear …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The risks of beyond design basis accidents in the spent fuel storage pool were examined in WASH-1400 [1] (App. I, pp. I-96ff). It was concluded that these risks were orders of magnitude below those involving the reactor …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background On August 18, 1982, the ACRS issued a letter [1] to the Commission which: (1) identified deficiencies in the maintenance and testing of engineered safety features designed to maintain control room habitability; (2) …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was initiated to address concerns raised by the Union of Concerned Scientists. (References [1] , [2] , and [3] .) The purposes for including this issue as a generic issue are to: (1) provide brief background …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Reactor protection systems (RPS) or "scram" systems are tripped by many diverse signals. The purposes of these various signals can be broadly divided into three classes: protection of the reactor core (e.g., overpower …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background On August 12, 1983, one of the three emergency diesel generators (EDG) at the Shoreham Plant failed during overload testing as a result of a fractured crankshaft. The failure occurred in EDG-102 and similar crankshaft …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Experiments conducted at several test facilities prior to 1984 showed that irradiated fuel can fragment (crumble) into small pieces during a LOCA. Some evaluation of this effect was made for NRC by EG&G. [1] Although it …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified during the staff review of the Indian Point 2 and Zion PRAs [1] ; in both of these studies, the dominant interfacing systems LOCA events were estimated to be through the RHR suction valves. The …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background In January 1984, AEOD issued a special study report (AEOD/S401) [1] describing the number of events that resulted from human error in identification of the correct unit or train. This study focused on LERs issued during …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The issue of using the most recent NOAA procedures for determining probable maximum precipitation (PMP) was raised [1] after an OL applicant disputed the NRC use of NOAA Hydrometeorological Report (HMR) Nos. 51 [2] and …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Issue B-63, which was resolved and implemented as MPA B-45, required leak-testing of the check valves that isolate those low pressure systems that are connected to the RCS outside the containment. However, except for …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Combustible gases such as H 2 , propane, and acetylene are used during normal operations of nuclear power plants in limited quantities and for relatively short periods of time. H 2 , the most prevalent of these gases in …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in a DL/NRR memorandum [1] which called for an assessment of the high failure frequency of main transformers and the resultant safety implications. Concern for this issue arose when the North …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Potential stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of reactor vessel (RV) closure studs was raised as a GSI in December 1984. [1] Concerns were expressed that two contributors to SCC had not been subject to careful research and …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in a DST/NRR memorandum [1] which addressed a condition in which some protective devices intended to trip active engineered safety features (ESF) components, under indication of equipment …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was raised [1] in March 1985 to address the staff's concern that there were no requirements for dynamic qualification testing or dynamic surveillance testing of large bore hydraulic snubbers (> 50 kips load …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in a RRAB memorandum [1] in March 1985 and addressed the possibility of relay contact chatter during a seismic event and its resulting effect upon safety and safety-related electrical control …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in a NRR/DST memorandum [1] and addressed the potential risk reduction that might result from training operators and having procedures developed to assist the operators in managing accidents …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in 1985 when a concern was raised that, due to non-obvious interactions between diverse equipment, TS may permit a plant to be in a dangerous configuration by the simultaneous outage of equipment …
