TASK III.A.1: IMPROVE LICENSEE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS - SHORT-TERM The objectives of this task were to improve and upgrade licensee emergency preparedness by requiring improvements in facilities, plans, procedures, offsite support, technical assistance, …
1
The objective of this task was to upgrade the emergency preparedness of nuclear power plants. Specific criteria to meet this objective were delineated in NUREG-0654. [1] ITEM III.A.2.1: AMEND 10 CFR 50 AND 10 CFR 50, APPENDIX E The four parts of this item …
1
The objective of this task is to enable NRC, in the event of a nuclear accident at a licensed reactor facility, to: (1) monitor and evaluate the situation and potential hazards, (2) advise the licensee's operating staff as needed, and (3) in an extreme …
1
The objective of this task is to upgrade the state of emergency preparedness of State and local governments affected by nuclear facilities. The Federal Emergency Management Agency was given the lead on this effort by the President on December 7, 1979. …
1
The objectives of this task are: (1) to have information available for the news media and the public describing how nuclear plants operate, radiation and its health effects, and protective actions against radiation; and (2) to provide training for members …

TASK III.D.1: RADIATION SOURCE CONTROL The objective of this task is to perform evaluations to establish additional design features that should be included in the rulemaking proceeding of Item II.B.8. The purpose of these evaluations is to identify design …
1
The objective of this task was to improve public radiation protection in the event of a nuclear power plant accident by improving (1) radioactive effluent monitoring, (2) the dose analysis for accidental releases of radioiodine, tritium, and carbon-14, …
1
The objective of this task is to improve nuclear power plant worker radiation protection to allow workers to take effective action to control the course and consequences of an accident, as well as to keep exposures as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) …
1
The objective of this task is to respond to the President's request for NRC participation in the Radiation Policy Council. ITEM IV.H.1: NRC PARTICIPATION IN THE RADIATION POLICY COUNCIL DESCRIPTION The Radiation Policy Council, a policy coordinating body …
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 …
1
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 …
1
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 …

This item has been divided into two parts which have been evaluated separately. PART I - Ductility of Two-Way Slabs and Shells DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in NUREG-0471 [1] and involved concern over the lack of information …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified as a generic problem in NUREG-0471 [1] and concerns the design of pressure vessels and piping systems components which must be designed to accommodate individual and combined loads due to normal …
1
DESCRIPTION This NUREG-0471 [1] task will develop more reliable models and associated computer capability than currently available to the staff for assessing the radiological consequences of accidents that could result in the releases of radioactivity …
