This item has been divided into two parts which have been evaluated separately. PART I - Ductility of Two-Way Slabs and Shells DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in NUREG-0471 [1] and involved concern over the lack of information …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified as a generic problem in NUREG-0471 [1] and concerns the design of pressure vessels and piping systems components which must be designed to accommodate individual and combined loads due to normal …
1
DESCRIPTION This NUREG-0471 [1] task will develop more reliable models and associated computer capability than currently available to the staff for assessing the radiological consequences of accidents that could result in the releases of radioactivity …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This NUREG-0471 [1] item concerned staff positions [2] BTP EISCB 18 and BTP RSB 6-11 which required physical locking out of electrical sources to specific MOVs in the ECCS. The existing staff positions established the …
1
DESCRIPTION Some prototype electrical penetration failures have occurred to date. In addition, failures of low voltage penetration modules have occurred at a licensed facility. It was originally postulated that failures of the low voltage penetration …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The description of this item given in NUREG-0471 [1] is as follows: "This is an ACRS generic concern. Evaluation and approval is required of various aspects of the MARK III containment design which differs from the …
1
DESCRIPTION The calculations of differential pressure that occur in containment subcompartments from a loss-of-coolant event require a complex fluid dynamic analysis to assure that the subcompartment design pressures are not exceeded. To check the various …
1
DESCRIPTION The rationale for normal and postaccident containment cooling will be reviewed to determine the adequacy of the design requirements imposed on the containment ventilation systems. By reviewing typical designs, the staff will develop a basic …
1
DESCRIPTION Test data from the Marviken containment tests were obtained for the purpose of validating containment pressure codes used for performing independent calculations related to licensing reviews. The Marviken data are containment pressure …
1
DESCRIPTION Consistent with the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.7, [1] the prevention of local hydrogen concentrations in excess of 4% by volume after a LOCA requires mixing of the containment atmosphere. Preliminary calculations indicate that lower …
1
DESCRIPTION The CONTEMPT computer code is used by the NRC staff to perform independent containment analyses. This NUREG-0471 [1] task involves the maintenance and revision of the CONTEMPT code to accommodate new containment designs or new problem areas as …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background SRP [1] Section 3.6, issued in 1975, addressed pipe breaks outside containment by combining limited design basis breaks for mechanistic protection with unlimited breaks for non-mechanistic protection. Prior to this, …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This NUREG-0471 [1] item involved the development of a time criterion for safety-related operator actions (SROA), including a determination of whether or not automatic actuation was to be required. At the time this issue …
1
DESCRIPTION A number of applicants for operating licenses have been performing sump tests to demonstrate ECCS operability during the recirculation phase following a postulated loss-of-coolant accident. These tests have shown that vortex formation is not …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The possibility of thermal-hydraulic instability in a BWR had been investigated by GE since the start-up of early BWRs. Analytical methods and codes were formulated on the basis of these early investigations to predict …
1
DESCRIPTION Most vendors, in the conduct of internal audits of emergency core cooling performance computer codes, discovered errors in coding and/or logic which had significant effects on the prediction results of approved models. This NUREG-0471 [1] task …
1
DESCRIPTION The NRC staff has a variety of ongoing or planned technical activities related to core physics. For the most part, these activities are directed at improving the NRC staff's analytical and computer capabilities for performing independent …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Individual reactor fuel rods sometimes fail during normal operations and many fuel rods are expected to fail during severe accidents. To ensure that these fuel failures do not result in unacceptable releases to the …
1
DESCRIPTION This NUREG-0471 [1] task covers a spectrum of technical efforts related to the staff review of LMFBR fuel designs. The efforts include: (1) evaluating licensing requirements for the behavior of stainless steel cladding and hexcans in an LMFBR …
1
DESCRIPTION The seismic qualification of complex electrical and mechanical components has undergone rapid changes in the past several years. Revisions in industry standards (IEEE 344) have resulted in the need to audit the qualification programs of NSSS …
1
DESCRIPTION Applicants are required to provide confirmation of the adequacy of computer programs used in the structural analysis and design of piping systems and components. At the time this issue was identified, this consisted of applicants providing, …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background As described in NUREG-0471, [1] this issue involves staff evaluations to assess the adequacy of specific containment penetration designs from the point of view of structural integrity, ISI requirements, and new …
1
DESCRIPTION Since the adoption by the ASME Code, Section III, of Subsection NF on component supports, technical review has been limited to conformance of the information provided in the application and commitment by the applicants to component support …
1
DESCRIPTION As a result of Appendix I and the Liquid Pathway Generic Study, the staff has had to take a more realistic look at the effects of sediment (surface waters) and aquifer materials (groundwater) on radionuclide transport through the hydrosphere. …
