DESCRIPTION Background Flow-induced vibrations caused by vortex shedding resulting from rapid area change, buffeting due to random flow turbulence, fluid structures interaction instability, leakage excitation, steady operation of positive displacement …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This concern was identified by the ACRS as a result of their review [1] of LERs covering a period from 1976 through 1978 and, subsequently, a comprehensive review of the problem was completed which covered the LERs and …
1
DESCRIPTION Under the scope of the TMI Action Plan Item II.K.3 in NUREG-0660, [1] the NRC Bulletin and Orders Task Force conducted generic reviews of the loss-of-feedwater and small-break loss-of-coolant events on all operating reactors. These reviews …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background In the event of a LOCA in which offsite power remains available, the reactor operator may choose to shut down the emergency diesel generators shortly after the LOCA. If, after the diesels are shut down, offsite power is …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue effects all PWR-type reactors (Westinghouse, CE, B&W). The issue as described, [1] , [2] , [3] concerns postulated accidents resulting from a steam line break which consequentially results in a steam generator …
1
DESCRIPTION On November 10, 1979, an event occurred at the Oconee Power Station, Unit 3, that resulted in loss of power to a non-Class 1E 120-volt AC single-phase power panel that supplied power to the integrated control system (ICS) and the nonnuclear …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This concern was raised [1] because of the potential for a high-altitude nuclear weapon detonation causing a large electromagnetic pulse (EMP) which subsequently could induce large currents and voltages in electrical …
1
DESCRIPTION Background This issue addressed the high rate of reactor coolant pump (RCP) seal failures that challenge the makeup capacity of the ECCS in PWRs. At the time this issue was identified [1] in 1980, RCP seal failures in BWRs occurred at a …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was raised by the staff following a review [1] , [2] of operating events that indicated a significant number of ECCS spurious actuations, particularly, the four events that occurred at Davis-Besse during 1980. …
1
DESCRIPTION This issue concerns the slow loss of control air pressure in the scram system of BWRs. [1] Air pressure dropping at a certain rate will first allow some of the CRD scram outlet valves to open slightly, thus filling the scram discharge volume …
1
DESCRIPTION In a San Onofre Unit 1 Preliminary Notification issued in September 1980, it was reported that, during testing, the licensee had identified a problem with the design of the diesel generator sequencing circuitry. This problem occurred when a …
1
DESCRIPTION This issue was identified during plant design and emergency procedure reviews which raised questions as to whether certain safety actions have to be accomplished automatically or whether manual operator action is acceptable. CONCLUSION This …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue corresponds to AEOD recommendation 4 highlighted in an AEOD memorandum [1] to NRR in December 1980. The AEOD recommendation resulted from a natural circulation cooldown event from full power at St. Lucie Unit …
1
DESCRIPTION This issue was identified in an AEOD memorandum [1] to NRR in May 1980. The concern is related to a feature on some B&W reactors in which the failure of the Non-Nuclear Instrumentation and Integrated Control System (NNI/ICS) power supply …
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 AEOD issued a memorandum [1] in which a potential safety issue involving combined primary and secondary system LOCAs was raised. The issue was discussed at Commission meetings on October 16, 1980 and on November 10, 1980. NRR informed AEOD of …
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 …
1
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 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 January 1982, AEOD published a report (AEOD/C201 [1] ) on safety concerns associated with reactor vessel level instrumentation in BWRs. The report was forwared to NRR for further action. Safety Significance BWRs use …
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 …
