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 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 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 …
1
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 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 This issue was raised [1] by DSI/NRR in August 1982 [2] following a search of LERs which suggested that additional licensing attention was needed for certain ancillary power plant equipment. The available information …
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 …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Over the past several years, the NRC staff has noted an unacceptably large number of overexposures and uncontrolled exposures associated with pressurized water reactor cavity entries while incore detectors were withdrawn. …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The issue of using the most recent NOAA procedures for determining probable maximum precipitation (PMP) was raised [1] after an OL applicant disputed the NRC use of NOAA Hydrometeorological Report (HMR) Nos. 51 [2] and …
1
DESCRIPTION In the prioritization of Issue 22, "Inadvertent Boron Dilution," it was found that inadvertent boron dilution events during cold shutdown operation do not constitute a significant risk to the public. Further work by DSI confirmed this …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Combustible gases such as H 2 , propane, and acetylene are used during normal operations of nuclear power plants in limited quantities and for relatively short periods of time. H 2 , the most prevalent of these gases in …
1
DESCRIPTION In December 1984, the staff recommended in SECY-83-357B [1] that rulemaking with regard to H 2 control for LWRs with large, dry containments could be safely deferred due to the greater inherent capability of these containments to accommodate …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified by NRR/EIB in February 1986 when it was suggested that Issue 106, "Piping and the Use of Highly Combustible Gases in Vital Areas," be expanded to include new safety concerns associated with the …
1
DESCRIPTION The TMI-2 Safety Advisory Board was established to provide the licensee, General Public Utilities Nuclear Corporation, with a qualified, independent appraisal of the cleanup of TMI-2, with particular emphasis on the assurance of public and …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Issue 106 was resolved with the issuance of Generic Letter 93-06, "Research Results on Generic Safety Issue 106, Piping and the Use of Highly Combustible Gases in Vital Areas," dated October 25, 1993, [1] which included …
1
DESCRIPTION NRC regulatory requirements include the estimation of individual offsite dose from the design basis LOCA. The fission product source term in TID-14844 [1] which is referenced by the regulations, has historically been used for this application. …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The issue of potential hazards from combustible gases was raised [1] after two events involving hydrogen combustion occurred within 2 months in late-2001 at two foreign BWRs. Both these events involved sudden rupture of …
