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 and addressed the concern for overpressurization of containment piping penetrations following a containment isolation and subsequent heat-up. Containment isolation at all nuclear …

The results of ongoing staff-sponsored research which culminated in the assessment of risk at five U.S. nuclear reactors (NUREG-1150 [1] ) indicated that, for the Peach Bottom MARK I containment, the core-melt probability was relatively low. However, it …
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] by NRR following the issuance of NRC Information Notice (IN) 93-17 [2] which was based in part on a deficiency in the Surry Power Station emergency diesel generator (DG) loading. This …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] following an NRR request for reconsideration of the safety priority ranking (DROP) of GSI-22, "Inadvertent Boron Dilution Events," based on new information on high burn-up fuel and new …
1
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. …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified when it was believed [1] that the validity of steam generator (SG) tube leak and rupture analyses could be affected by resonance vibrations in steam generator tubes during steam line break …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This generic issue was proposed [1] in response to SECY-00-198 [2] which explored means of risk informing 10 CFR 50.44. As a part of this effort, the paper recommended that safety enhancements that have the potential to …

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The issue of potential blockage in the containment sumps was first identified in Unresolved Safety Issue (USI) A-43, "Containment Emergency Sump Performance." It identified a concern for the availability of adequate recirculation cooling …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was raised [1] by NRR and addresses the adequacy of the calculations, testing, and acceptance criteria related to the creation of a vacuum in the reactor building of a BWR, following an engineered safeguards …
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 …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] by NRR following an allegation that was submitted to the NRC in March 2006 that described a scenario in which a SBLOCA event in a PWR has progressed to the sump recirculation mode of core …
1
The Chernobyl accident, with its absence of effective containment, has focused attention on the strengths and performance limits of the substantial containments for U.S. LWRs. It has led to added recognition of the significance of ongoing work on the …
