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 was initiated in response to an immediate action memorandum [1] issued by AEOD in September 1981 regarding desiccant contamination of instrument air lines. NRR responded to the AEOD memorandum by establishing a …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This proposed generic issue has its origin in a January 1981 event at Millstone Unit 2. [1] An operator inadvertently opened a 125V DC main feeder breaker, causing the loss of one of the two redundant emergency systems …
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 …
DESCRIPTION An AEOD memorandum [1] to NRR on July 15, 1980, identified the concern that some operating nuclear power plants do not have technical specifications or Administrative controls governing operational restrictions for Class 1E 120 VAC vital …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background In an AEOD memorandum [1] to NRR, it was concluded that the design of the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, under certain conditions, allowed manual interconnection of redundant electrical load groups, thereby …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background In August 1982, AEOD reviewed a number of LERs related to Class 1E safety related switchgear circuit breakers and found a high incidence of their failure to close on demand. A preliminary report was written and …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified at an NRC Operating Reactor Events meeting on January 7, 1982, [1] and addressed fire protection system (FPS) actuations that resulted in adverse interactions with safety-related equipment at …
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 …
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 …
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 …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background On August 12, 1983, one of the three emergency diesel generators (EDG) at the Shoreham Plant failed during overload testing as a result of a fractured crankshaft. The failure occurred in EDG-102 and similar crankshaft …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in a DL/NRR memorandum [1] which called for an assessment of the high failure frequency of main transformers and the resultant safety implications. Concern for this issue arose when the North …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in a DST/NRR memorandum [1] which addressed a condition in which some protective devices intended to trip active engineered safety features (ESF) components, under indication of equipment …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was raised [1] in March 1985 to address the staff's concern that there were no requirements for dynamic qualification testing or dynamic surveillance testing of large bore hydraulic snubbers (> 50 kips load …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in a RRAB memorandum [1] in March 1985 and addressed the possibility of relay contact chatter during a seismic event and its resulting effect upon safety and safety-related electrical control …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) incident investigation team (IIT) report on the loss of integrated control system (ICS) power event at Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station …
DESCRIPTION Following the NRR reorganization in November 1985, EIB/DSRO was responsible for resolving three issues that were directly related to onsite electrical systems: Issue 48, "LCO for Class 1E Vital Instrument Buses in Operating Reactors"; Issue …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified as an alternative approach to the Finding 15 recommendation [1] discussed in Issue 125.I.5, "Safety Systems Tested in All Conditions Required by DBA," which states that "[t]horough integrated …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] by NRR after reactor operating experience and research results on MOVs, SOVs, AOVs, and HOVs indicated that testing under static conditions did not always reveal how these valves would …
DESCRIPTION This issue was identified [1] by NRR to address the concerns raised during the licensing of Nine Mile Point Unit 2. On February 7, 1985, Niagara Mohawk submitted to the NRC a report on "Non-Class 1E Devices Connected to Class 1E Power …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] by NRR as a result of a diagnostic evaluation team inspection of the SWS at Zion, a multiplant site. The inspection identified the potential for some additional shared systems to have an …
DESCRIPTION As discussed in SECY-93-049, [1] the staff reviewed significant license renewal issues and found that several related to environmental qualification (EQ). A key aspect of these issues was whether the licensing bases, particularly for older …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] by NRR following the issuance of NRC Information Notice (IN) 93-17 [2] which was based in part on a deficiency in the Surry Power Station emergency diesel generator (DG) loading. This …
