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 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 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 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 In February 1983, the Westinghouse Owners Group submitted WCAP-10271, "Evaluation of Surveillance Frequencies and Out of Service Times for the Reactor Protection Instrumentation System," to the NRC for review and …
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 The ATWS rule [1] , [2] for W plants requires the implementation of a diverse ATWS mitigation system, Auxiliary [or ATWS] Mitigating Systems Actuation Circuitry (AMSAC). The functions prescribed for AMSAC are turbine trip …
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 …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background On January 27, 1985, a dented and leaking tendon grease cap was found during inspections at Farley Unit 2 prior to the integrated leak rate test of the prestressed concrete containment structure. Subsequent detailed …
1
DESCRIPTION In an August 1983 memorandum, [1] the EDO requested a comprehensive review of NRC requirements in the area of nuclear power plant piping. In response to this request, the NRC Piping Review Committee (PRC) was formed to review and evaluate …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was raised [1] by the staff in 1985 during the review of several plant TS when it was found that the protection system designs of some older plants did not provide as complete a degree of on-line protection …
1
DESCRIPTION In December 1984, the staff recommended in SECY-83-357B [1] that rulemaking with regard to H 2 control for LWRs with large, dry containments could be safely deferred due to the greater inherent capability of these containments to accommodate …

DESCRIPTION The loss of all feedwater event at Davis-Besse on June 9, 1985, resulted in the formation of an NRC project team to investigate the event. The team's findings were published in NUREG-1154 [1] and were subsequently reviewed by DL/NRR. As a …
1
DESCRIPTION Following the Davis-Besse event in June 1985, potential inadequacies of nuclear power plant design criteria and safety analyses were raised in a DST/NRR memorandum. [1] These concerns were: (1) root causes of DBAs are not analyzed and may …
1
DESCRIPTION In 1985, operating experience as well as staff and industry studies indicated that AFW systems continued to fail at a high rate. These studies also indicated that plants with similar AFW system reliabilities (as calculated in accordance with …
