The objectives of this task were to: (1)   Improve licensee safety performance and ability to respond to accidents by upgrading the licensee groups responsible for radiation protection and plant operation in such areas as staff size; education and …
The objective of this task was to improve the quality of procedures to provide greater assurance that operator and staff actions were technically correct, explicit, and easily understood for normal, transient, and accident conditions. The overall content, …
The objective of this task was to improve the ability of nuclear power plant control room operators to prevent accidents or cope with accidents if they occur by improving the information provided to them. ITEM I.D.1: CONTROL ROOM DESIGN REVIEWS This item …
The objective of this task was to improve the quality assurance program (QA) for design, construction, and operations to provide greater assurance that plant design, construction, and operational activities were conducted in a manner commensurate with …
The objectives of this task were to: (1) increase the capability of shift crews to operate facilities in a safe and competent manner by assuring that training for plant changes and off-normal events was conducted; and (2) review the comprehensiveness of …
The objective of this task was to improve the reliability and capability of nuclear power plant systems for removing decay heat and achieving safe shutdown conditions following transients and under post-accident conditions. ITEM II.E.3.1: RELIABILITY OF …
TASK II.J.1: VENDOR INSPECTION PROGRAM The objective of this task was to improve vendor-supplied components and services through a modified and more effective vendor inspection program. ITEM II.J.1.1: ESTABLISH A PRIORITY SYSTEM FOR CONDUCTING VENDOR …
The objective of this task was to improve the qualification of licensees for operating nuclear power plants by requiring greater oversight of design, construction, and modification activities. ITEM II.J.3.1: ORGANIZATION AND STAFFING TO OVERSEE DESIGN AND …
The objective of this task was to clarify deficiency report requirements to obtain uniform reporting and earlier identification and correction of problems. ITEM II.J.4.1: REVISE DEFICIENCY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS DESCRIPTION This TMI Action Plan [1] item …
The objectives of this task were to perform systems reliability analyses and to effect changes in emergency operating procedures and operator training to improve the capability of plants to mitigate the consequences of the small-break LOCAs and …
The objectives of this task are: (1) to improve and expand the NRC training program for the technical staff and resident inspectors, including, where appropriate, hands-on training; and (2) to establish a program to provide technically qualified …
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 …
DESCRIPTION The concern of this issue involves the requirement for verification that the balance-of-plant equipment satisfies the design intent. This issue was identified in NUREG-0705. [1] CONCLUSION Task I.F in NUREG-0660, [2] the TMI Action Plan, is a …
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 …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Cracking has occurred in PWR piping systems as a result of stress corrosion, vibratory and thermal fatigue, and dynamic loading. However, as of February 1981, no cracking had been experienced in the primary system piping …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Prior to 1981, the number of bolting-related incidents reported by licensees was on the increase. A large number of these were related to primary pressure boundary applications and major component support structures. As a …
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 …
