TASK I.A.1: OPERATING PERSONNEL AND STAFFING Complex transients in nuclear power plants place high demands on the operators in the control room. The objective of the actions described in this task was to increase the capability of the shift crews in the …
The objectives of this task were to: (1) improve the capability of operators and supervisors to understand and control complex reactor transients and accidents; (2) improve the general capability of an operations organization to respond rapidly and …
The objectives of this task were to: (1) upgrade the requirements and procedures for nuclear power plants operator and supervisor licensing to assure that safe and competent operators and senior operators are I charge of the day-to-day operation of …
The objectives of this task were to: (1) establish and sustain a high level of realism in the training and retraining of operators, including dealing with complex transients involving multiple permutations and combinations of failures and errors; and (2) …
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 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 …
The objective of this task was to improve the reliability and capability of nuclear power plant containment structures to reduce the radiological consequences and risk to the public from design basis events and degraded-core and core-melt accidents. 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 This item was originally identified in NUREG-0371 [1] and was later declared a USI in NUREG-0510. [2] (See Item A-3 for further details.) CONCLUSION This item was RESOLVED and requirements were established. (See Item A-3 for further details.) …
DESCRIPTION During the conduct of a large scale testing program for an advanced design BWR pressure suppression containment system (MARK III), new suppression pool hydrodynamic loads associated with a postulated LOCA were identified which had not been …
DESCRIPTION During testing for an advanced BWR containment system design (MARK III), suppression pool hydrodynamic loads were identified which had not been considered in the original design of the MARK I containment system. To address this issue, a MARK I …
DESCRIPTION As a result of the GE testing program for the MARK III pressure-suppression containment program, new containment loads associated with a postulated LOCA were identified in 1975 which had not been explicitly included in the original design of …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Since the issuance of Appendix J to 10 CFR Part 50 in February 1973, certain requirements of the appendix have been found to be conflicting, impractical for implementation, or subject to a variety of interpretations by …
DESCRIPTION Following a LOCA in an LWR, combustible gases, principally hydrogen, may accumulate inside the primary reactor containment as a result of: (1) metal-water reaction involving the fuel element cladding; (2) the radiolytic decomposition of the …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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, …
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 …
