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 Historical Background Issue B-63, which was resolved and implemented as MPA B-45, required leak-testing of the check valves that isolate those low pressure systems that are connected to the RCS outside the containment. However, except for …

DESCRIPTION Background The reliability of PWR main steam safety valves (MSSVs) was identified as a generic issue in a DSRO memorandum on March 1986 [1] in which it was noted that individual PWR plant FSARs assume credit for MSSV functional capability to …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in a May 1986 DSI memorandum [1] in which 21 instances of BWR vessel draining through various paths in the RHR system piping were described. Later, in August 1986, AEOD/E609 [2] was issued …

DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified as an alternative approach to the Finding 15 recommendation [1] discussed in Issue 125.I.5, "Safety Systems Tested in All Conditions Required by DBA," which states that "[t]horough integrated …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] by DSIR/RES following ACRS concerns raised during the review of the resolution of Issue 87, "Failure of HPCI Steam Line Without Isolation," which addressed the design bases for those MOVs …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The reliability of essential service water (ESW) systems and related problems have been an ongoing staff concern which has been documented in NUREG/CR-2797, [1] IE Bulletins 80-24 [2] and 81-03, [3] Generic Letter No. …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] by NRR after reactor operating experience and research results on MOVs, SOVs, AOVs, and HOVs indicated that testing under static conditions did not always reveal how these valves would …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] by NRR and addressed concerns involving centrifugal pumps operating at some point below the best efficiency point (BEP) on their characteristic curves that could cause hydraulic instability …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] by NRR as a result of a diagnostic evaluation team inspection of the SWS at Zion, a multiplant site. The inspection identified the potential for some additional shared systems to have an …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] by NRR when it was found that, on a number of occasions, licensees reported that spring-actuated safety and relief valves failed to meet setpoint criteria within the desired tolerance. Other …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] by NRR following a request from Region I to review GE SIL 477 which identified the possibility of early containment bypass in a BWR, if any one of the MSIVs inside containment should fail to …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] , [2] by a Region III inspector and addressed the possible failure of low pressure emergency core cooling systems due to unanticipated, large quantities of entrained gas in the suction piping …
