DESCRIPTION The issue was raised after the occurrence of various incidents of water hammer that involved steam generator feedrings and piping, emergency core cooling systems, RHR systems, containment spray, service water, feedwater, and steam lines. The …
1
DESCRIPTION Inspections of operating BWRs conducted up to April 1978 revealed cracks in the feedwater nozzles of 20 reactor vessels. Most of these BWRs contained 4 nozzles with diameters ranging from 10 in. to 12 in. Although most cracks ranged from 1/2 …
1
DESCRIPTION Because of the remote possibility of failure of nuclear reactor pressure vessels designed to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, the design of nuclear facilities does not provide protection against reactor vessel failure. Prevention of …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background In May 1978, the ACRS and the staff expressed concern over the substantial number of LERs related to the malfunction of snubbers, the most frequent of which were: (1) seal leakage in hydraulic snubbers; and (2) high …

DESCRIPTION At all nuclear plants, overhead cranes are used to lift heavy objects in the vicinity of spent fuel. If a heavy object such as a spent fuel shipping cask or shielding block were to fall onto spent fuel in the storage pool or reactor core …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The AEC first established missile-protection requirements in 1967. GDC-2 and GDC-4 of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, require in part that structures, systems, and components important to safety be designed to be able to …
1
DESCRIPTION Structures, systems, and components important to the safety of nuclear power plants are required to withstand the effects of natural phenomena such as earthquakes. Broad requirements for earthquake resistance are specified in 10 CFR Parts 50 …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background In a memorandum [1] dated June 7, 1976, NRR recommended that a study be initiated on the quantification of inherent seismic safety margins in NRR's seismic design requirements. This memo suggested the initiation of a …
1
DESCRIPTION The design criteria and methods for the seismic qualification of mechanical and electrical equipment in nuclear power plants underwent significant changes during the course of the licensing of commercial nuclear power plants. Consequently, it …
1
DESCRIPTION Neutron irradiation of reactor pressure vessel weld and plate materials decreases the fracture toughness of the materials. The fracture toughness sensitivity to radiation-induced change is increased by the presence of certain materials such as …
