DESCRIPTION Following the NRR reorganization in November 1985, EIB/DSRO was responsible for resolving three issues that were directly related to onsite electrical systems: Issue 48, "LCO for Class 1E Vital Instrument Buses in Operating Reactors"; Issue …
1
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 …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] when the staff found the Byron Unit 1 vulnerable to core-melt sequences in the absence of the availability of Byron Unit 2 which was not yet operational. Because of the licensing status of …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Potential seismic interaction involving the movable in-core flux mapping systems was identified as a generic issue in August 1985. [1] This potential interaction exists because portions of the in-core flux mapping system, …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] by NRR as a result of concern for the potential loss of the RHR system under a harsh containment environment. The RHR system is normally located outside the containment and is not required to …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background In IE Circular No. 80-02, [1] the concern of overtime work for licensee staff who perform safety-related functions was discussed and limits on maximum working hours were recommended. In July 1980, a letter [2] was issued …

DESCRIPTION Since the TMI-2 accident in March 1979, to which human error was a major contributor, the issue of academic requirements for reactor operators has been a major concern of the NRC. In October 1985, the NRC issued a Policy Statement on …
1
DESCRIPTION Steam generator overfill and its consequences have received staff and industry attention because of the frequency and severity of overfill events. Over the years, a number of issues have been raised concerning steam generator overfill …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified by NRR/EIB in February 1986 when it was suggested that Issue 106, "Piping and the Use of Highly Combustible Gases in Vital Areas," be expanded to include new safety concerns associated with the …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background On August 21, 1984, the Haddam Neck plant experienced failure of a refueling cavity seal during preparations for refueling. The failure of the seal caused 200,000 gallons of water to drain from the refueling cavity into …
1
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 …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was raised [1] as a result of a pipe rupture in the main feedwater (MFW) system at the Surry Unit 2 nuclear power plant on December 9, 1986. The MFW pipe rupture followed a reactor trip from full power shortly …
1
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 …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Large-break loss-of-coolant accidents (LBLOCA) with consequential steam generator tube ruptures (SGTR) was identified as a GSI in a DRPS/RES memorandum [1] on April 28, 1987. The issue surfaced as a result of the proposed …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Electronic isolators are used to maintain electrical separation between safety and non-safety-related electrical systems in nuclear power plants, preventing malfunctions in the non-safety systems from degrading …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background In past years, several nuclear plants experienced problems with safety system components and control systems that resulted from a partial or total loss of HVAC systems. Many of these problems occurred for two reasons: (1) …
1
DESCRIPTION Background Before 1989, there were several reported occurrences of the failure of turbine/generators to trip after a reactor scram. These events were caused either by mechanical or electrical problems in the turbine electro-hydraulic control …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified as an alternative approach to the Finding 15 recommendation [1] discussed in Issue 125.I.5, "Safety Systems Tested in All Conditions Required by DBA," which states that "[t]horough integrated …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] by NRR when concerns were expressed that the seismic loading on equipment and pipe-mounted components may have been underestimated. These concerns could be divided into two sub- issues: …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was raised in SECY-89-170 [1] and addressed the potential for control system vulnerabilities as a result of fire-induced alternate shutdown/control room panel interactions. Concern for these interactions arose …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was raised in SECY-89-170 [1] and addressed the effectiveness of manual fire-fighting in the presence of smoke. This concern arose as a result of an NRC-sponsored Fire Risk Scoping Study [2] which focused on …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was raised in SECY-89-170 [1] and addressed the effect of premature failure of fire barriers on CDF. Concern for fire barriers arose as a result of an NRC-sponsored Fire Risk Scoping Study [2] which focused on …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] by DSIR/RES and addressed the concern for overpressurization of containment piping penetrations following a containment isolation and subsequent heat-up. Containment isolation at all nuclear …
