The objective of this task was to improve the reliability and capability of nuclear power plant containment structures to reduce the radiological consequences and risk to the public from design basis events and degraded-core and core-melt accidents. ITEM …
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
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 This item was originally identified in NUREG-0371 [1] and was later declared a USI in NUREG-0510. [2] (See Item A-3 for further details.) CONCLUSION This item was RESOLVED and requirements were established. (See Item A-3 for further details.) …
1
DESCRIPTION During the conduct of a large scale testing program for an advanced design BWR pressure suppression containment system (MARK III), new suppression pool hydrodynamic loads associated with a postulated LOCA were identified which had not been …
1
DESCRIPTION During testing for an advanced BWR containment system design (MARK III), suppression pool hydrodynamic loads were identified which had not been considered in the original design of the MARK I containment system. To address this issue, a MARK I …
1
DESCRIPTION As a result of the GE testing program for the MARK III pressure-suppression containment program, new containment loads associated with a postulated LOCA were identified in 1975 which had not been explicitly included in the original design of …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Since the issuance of Appendix J to 10 CFR Part 50 in February 1973, certain requirements of the appendix have been found to be conflicting, impractical for implementation, or subject to a variety of interpretations by …
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 Following a LOCA in an LWR, combustible gases, principally hydrogen, may accumulate inside the primary reactor containment as a result of: (1) metal-water reaction involving the fuel element cladding; (2) the radiolytic decomposition of the …
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 Historical Background The description of this item given in NUREG-0471 [1] is as follows: "This is an ACRS generic concern. Evaluation and approval is required of various aspects of the MARK III containment design which differs from the …
1
DESCRIPTION The calculations of differential pressure that occur in containment subcompartments from a loss-of-coolant event require a complex fluid dynamic analysis to assure that the subcompartment design pressures are not exceeded. To check the various …
1
DESCRIPTION The rationale for normal and postaccident containment cooling will be reviewed to determine the adequacy of the design requirements imposed on the containment ventilation systems. By reviewing typical designs, the staff will develop a basic …
1
DESCRIPTION Test data from the Marviken containment tests were obtained for the purpose of validating containment pressure codes used for performing independent calculations related to licensing reviews. The Marviken data are containment pressure …
1
DESCRIPTION The CONTEMPT computer code is used by the NRC staff to perform independent containment analyses. This NUREG-0471 [1] task involves the maintenance and revision of the CONTEMPT code to accommodate new containment designs or new problem areas as …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background SRP [1] Section 3.6, issued in 1975, addressed pipe breaks outside containment by combining limited design basis breaks for mechanistic protection with unlimited breaks for non-mechanistic protection. Prior to this, …
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 Historical Background As described in NUREG-0471, [1] this issue involves staff evaluations to assess the adequacy of specific containment penetration designs from the point of view of structural integrity, ISI requirements, and new …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This NUREG-0471 [1] item deals with two concerns regarding the ice condenser containment design. The first concern arises from an ACRS comment on the D. C. Cook Unit 1 review. The normal procedure used by the staff (CSB) …
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 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 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 …
