DESCRIPTION Historical Background The HPCI steam supply line has two containment isolation valves in series: one inside and one outside of the containment. Both are normally open in most plants; however, two plants were found to operate with the HPCI …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background During the review of LaSalle, ASB identified a potential problem which could be generic to all BWRs. [1] [2] The problem relates to ability of the CRD accumulators to retain pressure for a sufficient period of time after …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Issue 50 addressed several areas of concern with BWR water level instrumentation and its resolution involved voluntary implementation of water level measurement improvements for all of the staff concerns, except the one …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background BWRs are equipped with SRVs to control primary system pressurization. Upon SRV actuation and following the clearing of air from the discharge lines, essentially pure steam is injected into the pool. Experiments indicate …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Indications of possible stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in the Indian Point Unit 3 (IP-3) steam generator prompted MTEB to review foreign and domestic operating experiences related to possible indications of SCC in …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in a May 1986 DSI memorandum [1] in which 21 instances of BWR vessel draining through various paths in the RHR system piping were described. Later, in August 1986, AEOD/E609 [2] was issued …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The issue of deinerting upon discovery of RCS leakage was identified [1] by DL/NRR, based on data collected by OIE. The related but separate concern of deinerting with one train of a safety system inoperable was also …
DESCRIPTION The issue, as originally proposed, [1] addressed the concern for fission product removal by the containment sprays and suppression pools in PWRs and BWRs, respectively; however, it was expanded to include PWR plants that use ice condenser …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in a DSIR/RES memorandum [1] which addressed the concern for the reliability of breakers used to trip the recirculation pumps at high pressure or low water level signals during ATWS mitigation in …
Issue Identification The NRC identified [1] this issue in June 1992 to address an NRC staff members concern, given in a DPO dated December 3, 1991, [2] and modified March 27, 1992, [3] about the potential for a main steamline break (MSLB) accident to …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] by NRR following a request from Region I to review GE SIL 477 which identified the possibility of early containment bypass in a BWR, if any one of the MSIVs inside containment should fail to …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background A generic BWR power uprate program was created to provide a consistent means for individual licensees to recover additional generating capacity beyond their existing licensed limit. In 1990, GE submitted licensing topical …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was raised [1] by NRR and addresses the adequacy of the calculations, testing, and acceptance criteria related to the creation of a vacuum in the reactor building of a BWR, following an engineered safeguards …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] , [2] by a Region III inspector and addressed the possible failure of low pressure emergency core cooling systems due to unanticipated, large quantities of entrained gas in the suction piping …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The issue of potential hazards from combustible gases was raised [1] after two events involving hydrogen combustion occurred within 2 months in late-2001 at two foreign BWRs. Both these events involved sudden rupture of …
