DESCRIPTION Historical Background Operation of a LWR results in slow corrosion of the interior metal surfaces of the primary coolant system. The resulting corrosion products circulate through the reactor core and are activated by neutron flux from the …
1
DESCRIPTION At the time this issue was identified in NUREG-0371, [1] compliance with NEPA required that alternatives to a proposed Federal action be considered, and that required alternatives be balanced against the base case in terms of their associated …

DESCRIPTION This NUREG-0471 [1] task involved the preparation of a paper detailing the bases for design basis flood events utilized by the staff in case reviews, including probable maximum floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, seiches, seismically-induced dam …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue, as originally stated in 1978, [1] addressed the unavailability (at that time) of a suitable model to predict the erosion rates and, therefore, the flood hydrographs at nuclear power plant sites resulting from …
1
DESCRIPTION This NUREG-0471 [1] task involves the maintenance and improvement of calculational capabilities for assessing doses to individuals from radiation and radioactive effluents from normal operation and from radioactive releases from postulated …
1
DESCRIPTION Practice in health impact assessments at the time of identification of this issue was to convert radiation exposure estimates into estimates of health effects, such as cancer deaths, illness, and life shortening. However, the models that were …
1
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 …
1
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 …
1
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 …
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 Historical Background The containment flooding issue stems from a flooding event that occurred at the Indian Point 2 reactor in October 1980. [1] A large quantity of water leaked from fan coolers onto the containment building floor and …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Cracks were found in the normal make-up high pressure injection (MU/HPI) nozzles of several B&W plants following an inspection of the 8 B&W plants licensed to operate. These cracks appeared to be directly related to loose …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background PORVs and block valves were originally designed as non-safety components in the reactor pressure control system for use only when plants are in operation. The block valves were installed because of expected leakage from …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background On two occasions (February 22 and 25, 1983), Salem Unit 1 failed to scram automatically due to failure of both reactor trip breakers to open on receipt of an actuation signal. In both cases, the unit was successfully …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background On November 11, 1981, the DAILY REPORT-REGION I carried a "prompt report" from Calvert Cliffs Units 1 and 2 indicating the licensee had been notified that the water tight integrity of the service water pump rooms in both …
