DESCRIPTION Historical Background In August 1982, AEOD reviewed a number of LERs related to Class 1E safety related switchgear circuit breakers and found a high incidence of their failure to close on demand. A preliminary report was written and …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified at an NRC Operating Reactor Events meeting on January 7, 1982, [1] and addressed fire protection system (FPS) actuations that resulted in adverse interactions with safety-related equipment at …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The containment flooding issue stems from a flooding event that occurred at the Indian Point 2 reactor in October 1980. [1] A large quantity of water leaked from fan coolers onto the containment building floor and …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The SRVs of a BWR plant provide protection against overpressurization of the reactor primary system. During normal operation, the SRVs which are mounted in the main steam lines open on high pressure permitting steam to …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background In BWRs, SRVs are mounted on the main steam line inside the drywell. Each SRV discharge is piped through its own discharge line (tailpipe) to a point below the minimum water level in the primary containment suppression …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The HPCI steam supply line has two containment isolation valves in series: one inside and one outside of the containment. Both are normally open in most plants; however, two plants were found to operate with the HPCI …

DESCRIPTION Historical Background On August 12, 1983, one of the three emergency diesel generators (EDG) at the Shoreham Plant failed during overload testing as a result of a fractured crankshaft. The failure occurred in EDG-102 and similar crankshaft …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This concern was raised by an NRC resident inspector who questioned the practice of leaving the refueling canal drain valve in the closed position during operations at H. B. Robinson Unit 2. [1] A subsequent investigation …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified during the staff review of the Indian Point 2 and Zion PRAs [1] ; in both of these studies, the dominant interfacing systems LOCA events were estimated to be through the RHR suction valves. The …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Combustible gases such as H 2 , propane, and acetylene are used during normal operations of nuclear power plants in limited quantities and for relatively short periods of time. H 2 , the most prevalent of these gases in …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in a DL/NRR memorandum [1] which called for an assessment of the high failure frequency of main transformers and the resultant safety implications. Concern for this issue arose when the North …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background BWRs are equipped with SRVs to control primary system pressurization. Upon SRV actuation and following the clearing of air from the discharge lines, essentially pure steam is injected into the pool. Experiments indicate …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in a DST/NRR memorandum [1] which addressed a condition in which some protective devices intended to trip active engineered safety features (ESF) components, under indication of equipment …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in a RRAB memorandum [1] in March 1985 and addressed the possibility of relay contact chatter during a seismic event and its resulting effect upon safety and safety-related electrical control …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background On January 27, 1985, a dented and leaking tendon grease cap was found during inspections at Farley Unit 2 prior to the integrated leak rate test of the prestressed concrete containment structure. Subsequent detailed …
1
DESCRIPTION In December 1984, the staff recommended in SECY-83-357B [1] that rulemaking with regard to H 2 control for LWRs with large, dry containments could be safely deferred due to the greater inherent capability of these containments to accommodate …
1
DESCRIPTION Following the NRR reorganization in November 1985, EIB/DSRO was responsible for resolving three issues that were directly related to onsite electrical systems: Issue 48, "LCO for Class 1E Vital Instrument Buses in Operating Reactors"; Issue …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The issue of deinerting upon discovery of RCS leakage was identified [1] by DL/NRR, based on data collected by OIE. The related but separate concern of deinerting with one train of a safety system inoperable was also …
1
DESCRIPTION The issue, as originally proposed, [1] addressed the concern for fission product removal by the containment sprays and suppression pools in PWRs and BWRs, respectively; however, it was expanded to include PWR plants that use ice condenser …
1
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 …
1
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 This issue was identified [1] by NRR to address the concerns raised during the licensing of Nine Mile Point Unit 2. On February 7, 1985, Niagara Mohawk submitted to the NRC a report on "Non-Class 1E Devices Connected to Class 1E Power …
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 As discussed in SECY-93-049, [1] the staff reviewed significant license renewal issues and found that several related to environmental qualification (EQ). A key aspect of these issues was whether the licensing bases, particularly for older …
