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 …
1
The objective of this task was to demonstrate by testing and analysis that the relief and safety valves, block valves, and associated piping in the reactor coolant system (RCS) were qualified for the full range of operating and accident conditions; …
1
The objectives of this task were to: (1) decrease reliance on the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) for events other than LOCAs; (2) ensure that the ECCS design basis reliability and performance were consistent with operational experience; (3) reach a …
1
The objective of this task was to evaluate whether existing requirements for valve testing provided adequate assurance of performance under design conditions. ITEM II.E.6.1: TEST ADEQUACY STUDY DESCRIPTION Historical Background The purpose of this TMI …
1
The objective of this task was to increase the reliability and diversification of the electrical power supplies for certain safety-related equipment. ITEM II.G.1: POWER SUPPLIES FOR PRESSURIZER RELIEF VALVES, BLOCK VALVES, AND LEVEL INDICATORS DESCRIPTION …
1
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 …
1
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 …
1
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 …
1
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 …
1
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 Historical Background Prior to May 1978, tests conducted by GE showed that the presence of steam and/or increased pressure in and above the upper core region of BWRs could adversely affect the distribution of flow from certain types of core …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue deals with a concern for the availability of adequate recirculation cooling water following a LOCA when long-term recirculation of cooling water from the PWR containment sump, or the BWR RHR system suction …
1
DESCRIPTION Numerical reliability goals and methods of analysis have not been established by the NRC. The current basis for plant licensing continues to be NRC regulations which require, among other things, that the consequences of a LOCA be suitably …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This NUREG-0471 [1] item concerned staff positions [2] BTP EISCB 18 and BTP RSB 6-11 which required physical locking out of electrical sources to specific MOVs in the ECCS. The existing staff positions established the …
1
DESCRIPTION A number of applicants for operating licenses have been performing sump tests to demonstrate ECCS operability during the recirculation phase following a postulated loss-of-coolant accident. These tests have shown that vortex formation is not …
1
DESCRIPTION Most vendors, in the conduct of internal audits of emergency core cooling performance computer codes, discovered errors in coding and/or logic which had significant effects on the prediction results of approved models. This NUREG-0471 [1] task …
1
DESCRIPTION The BWR pressure relief system is designed to prevent overpressurization of the reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB) under the most severe abnormal operational transient: closure of the main steam line isolation valves (MSIVs) with failure …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in NUREG-0471 [1] and addressed the establishment of surveillance test intervals and allowable equipment outage periods, using analytically-based TS criteria and methods. At the time the issue …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This NUREG-0471 [1] item, as presently formulated, involves the conduct of analytical and experimental work to determine whether or not destructive overspeeds could be attained and to determine if corrective actions are …
1
DESCRIPTION Following a plant transient or accident, provisions are required for long-term decay heat removal. Redundancy of components is required as necessary to assure that a failure in the RHR system will not impair the ability to maintain the plant …
1
DESCRIPTION Offsite power system frequency decay, depending on the rate of decay, could provide an electrical brake on the reactor coolant pump motors that could slow the pumps faster than the assumed flywheel coastdown flow rates normally used in …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background As identified in NUREG-0471, [1] Appendix K of 10 CFR 50 specifies the requirements for LWR ECCS analysis. These requirements call for specific conservatisms to be applied to certain models and correlations used in the …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The operating experience of nuclear power plants indicates that a number of valves, valve operators, and pumps fail to operate as specified in the technical specifications either under testing conditions or when they are …
1
DESCRIPTION This issue was documented in NUREG-0471 [1] and stemmed from an ACRS recommendation that the staff explore diverse means of obtaining ECCS capability for future plants. The ACRS also recommended the staff explore the issue in the context of …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue is identified in Appendix D of NUREG-0572 [1] and is one of the key observations made after the ACRS requested its members and consultants to make comprehensive reviews of all Licensee Event Reports (LERs) …
