The objective of this task was to enhance public safety and reduce individual and societal risk by developing and implementing a phased program to include, in safety reviews, consideration of core degradation and melting beyond the design basis. ITEM …
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 …
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, …
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) …
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 …
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 …
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 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 …
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 …
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 …
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 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. …
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 …
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 …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was raised in SECY-89-170 [1] and addressed the potential for control system vulnerabilities as a result of fire-induced alternate shutdown/control room panel interactions. Concern for these interactions arose …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was raised in SECY-89-170 [1] and addressed the effectiveness of manual fire-fighting in the presence of smoke. This concern arose as a result of an NRC-sponsored Fire Risk Scoping Study [2] which focused on …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was raised in SECY-89-170 [1] and addressed the effect of premature failure of fire barriers on CDF. Concern for fire barriers arose as a result of an NRC-sponsored Fire Risk Scoping Study [2] which focused on …
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 …
In resolving GSIs over the years, the staff generally found it necessary to make assumptions and establish limitations on the scope of the issues. As a result of its review of the resolution of some GSIs, the ACRS expressed concerns that the assumptions …
DESCRIPTION In February 1993, The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) completed a reassessment of the reactor fire protection review and inspection programs, in response to programmatic concerns raised …
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. …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This GI was proposed [1] in response to a concern raised by the ACRS in its May 21, 2004, report on the resolution of certain NUREG-1740 [2] items. The ACRS recommended that the staff develop a mechanistic understanding …
