The objectives of this task were to: (1) decrease reliance on the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) for events other than LOCAs; (2) ensure that the ECCS design basis reliability and performance were consistent with operational experience; (3) reach a …
1
The objective of this task was to improve the reliability and capability of nuclear power plant systems for removing decay heat and achieving safe shutdown conditions following transients and under post-accident conditions. ITEM II.E.3.1: RELIABILITY OF …
1
The objective of this task was to provide instrumentation to monitor plant variables and systems during and following an accident. Indications of plant variables and status of systems important to safety are required by the plant operator (licensee) …
1
The objectives of this task were to perform systems reliability analyses and to effect changes in emergency operating procedures and operator training to improve the capability of plants to mitigate the consequences of the small-break LOCAs and …

TASK III.A.1: IMPROVE LICENSEE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS - SHORT-TERM The objectives of this task were to improve and upgrade licensee emergency preparedness by requiring improvements in facilities, plans, procedures, offsite support, technical assistance, …
1
The objective of this task was to upgrade the emergency preparedness of nuclear power plants. Specific criteria to meet this objective were delineated in NUREG-0654. [1] ITEM III.A.2.1: AMEND 10 CFR 50 AND 10 CFR 50, APPENDIX E The four parts of this item …
1
The objective of this task is to enable NRC, in the event of a nuclear accident at a licensed reactor facility, to: (1) monitor and evaluate the situation and potential hazards, (2) advise the licensee's operating staff as needed, and (3) in an extreme …
1
The objective of this task is to upgrade the state of emergency preparedness of State and local governments affected by nuclear facilities. The Federal Emergency Management Agency was given the lead on this effort by the President on December 7, 1979. …
1
The objectives of this task are: (1) to have information available for the news media and the public describing how nuclear plants operate, radiation and its health effects, and protective actions against radiation; and (2) to provide training for members …

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 Historical Background Prior to May 1978, tests conducted by GE showed that the presence of steam and/or increased pressure in and above the upper core region of BWRs could adversely affect the distribution of flow from certain types of core …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The Class 1E power sources provide the electric power for the plant systems that are essential to reactor shutdown, containment isolation, reactor core cooling, containment heat removal or are otherwise essential in …
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 issue was raised in NUREG-0371 [1] following a series of events at operating plants that involved the offsite power systems. These events indicated that the reliability of the preferred source of emergency power might have been less than …
1
DESCRIPTION The complete loss of AC electrical power to the essential and nonessential switchgear buses in a nuclear power plant is referred to as a "Station Blackout." Because many safety systems required for reactor core decay heat removal are dependent …
1
DESCRIPTION The design criteria and methods for the seismic qualification of mechanical and electrical equipment in nuclear power plants underwent significant changes during the course of the licensing of commercial nuclear power plants. Consequently, it …
1
DESCRIPTION Numerical reliability goals and methods of analysis have not been established by the NRC. The current basis for plant licensing continues to be NRC regulations which require, among other things, that the consequences of a LOCA be suitably …
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 Some prototype electrical penetration failures have occurred to date. In addition, failures of low voltage penetration modules have occurred at a licensed facility. It was originally postulated that failures of the low voltage penetration …
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 Most vendors, in the conduct of internal audits of emergency core cooling performance computer codes, discovered errors in coding and/or logic which had significant effects on the prediction results of approved models. This NUREG-0471 [1] task …
1
DESCRIPTION The seismic qualification of complex electrical and mechanical components has undergone rapid changes in the past several years. Revisions in industry standards (IEEE 344) have resulted in the need to audit the qualification programs of NSSS …
1
DESCRIPTION NRC environmental information needs for licensing fall into the categories of: (1) detailed site-specific investigations at a preferred site, and (2) reconnaissance level information to support alternative site assessment and selection, …
1
DESCRIPTION The effects of entrainment on phytoplankton and zooplankton populations are often minimal and occasionally beneficial. Numerous studies of the effects of entrainment on plankton organisms, phytoplankton, and zooplankton have shown impacts to …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This NUREG-0471 [1] item arose in the course of the NRC review of the McGuire application, where the applicant proposed relying on the generator load break switch for isolating the generator from the stepup transformer …
