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
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
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 Prior to 1978, operating experience with PWR steam generators was characterized by extensive corrosion and mechanically-induced degradation of the steam generator tubes, frequent plant shutdowns to repair primary-to- secondary leaks, and two …
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 course of the licensing action for North Anna Units 1 and 2, a number of questions were raised as to the potential for lamellar tearing and low fracture toughness of the steam generator and RCP support materials for these …
1
DESCRIPTION At the time this issue was identified in NUREG-0371, [1] trends in the design of nuclear power plants showed an increase in the use of digital computer technology in safety-related instrumentation and control systems. The first application of …
1
DESCRIPTION CP applicants for which SERs were issued after July 1, 1974, were required by the NRC to qualify all safety- related equipment to IEEE 323. [1] From the time this standard was originated, the industry developed methods that were used to …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue is documented in NUREG-0371 [1] and addresses the adequacy of safety-related DC power supplies which was questioned by a nuclear consultant in a letter to the ACRS in April 1977 (NUREG-0305, [2] Attachment B). …
1
DESCRIPTION This NUREG-0371 [1] item was initiated in order to develop criteria and guidelines to be used by applicants, licensees, and staff reviewers to support implementation of Regulatory Guide 1.97, [2] Revision 1. Such criteria and guidelines were …
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 Nuclear power plant instrumentation and control systems are composed of safety-related protection systems and non-safety-related control systems. The safety-related protection systems are designed to satisfy the General Design Criteria …
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 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 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 …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The ACRS raised a concern that there is a need to develop criteria for vibration monitoring systems which could provide early warning of excessive vibration inside the reactor vessel. This item is documented in …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This NUREG-0471 [1] item was developed because of concerns regarding the long-term capability of hermetically- sealed instruments and equipment which must function in postaccident environments. Certain classes of …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The operating experience of nuclear power plants indicates that a number of valves, valve operators, and pumps fail to operate as specified in the technical specifications either under testing conditions or when they are …
1
DESCRIPTION This NUREG-0471 [1] item was an ACRS generic concern that initially addressed the common mode failure of identical components exposed to identical or nearly-identical conditions or environments. This concern was later expanded to include other …
1
DESCRIPTION Background This issue was identified [1] after a review of LERs involving the failure or degraded performance of essential equipment that resulted from the failure of protective devices such as fuses and circuit breakers. The affected systems …
