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 During the conduct of a large scale testing program for an advanced design BWR pressure suppression containment system (MARK III), new suppression pool hydrodynamic loads associated with a postulated LOCA were identified which had not been …
1
DESCRIPTION During testing for an advanced BWR containment system design (MARK III), suppression pool hydrodynamic loads were identified which had not been considered in the original design of the MARK I containment system. To address this issue, a MARK I …
1
DESCRIPTION As a result of the GE testing program for the MARK III pressure-suppression containment program, new containment loads associated with a postulated LOCA were identified in 1975 which had not been explicitly included in the original design of …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Since the issuance of Appendix J to 10 CFR Part 50 in February 1973, certain requirements of the appendix have been found to be conflicting, impractical for implementation, or subject to a variety of interpretations by …
1
DESCRIPTION By letter dated June 18, 1975, licensees of operating reactor facilities were sent a preliminary copy of a staff paper, "Guidance for Proposed License Amendments Relating to Refueling," and "Refueling Information Request Form." The purpose was …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This NUREG-0371 [1] item involves the development of consistent and formalized acceptance criteria regarding the conversion to higher density storage racks (increased storage capacity) in existing spent fuel storage …
1
DESCRIPTION Following a LOCA in an LWR, combustible gases, principally hydrogen, may accumulate inside the primary reactor containment as a result of: (1) metal-water reaction involving the fuel element cladding; (2) the radiolytic decomposition of the …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The description of this item given in NUREG-0471 [1] is as follows: "This is an ACRS generic concern. Evaluation and approval is required of various aspects of the MARK III containment design which differs from the …
1
DESCRIPTION The calculations of differential pressure that occur in containment subcompartments from a loss-of-coolant event require a complex fluid dynamic analysis to assure that the subcompartment design pressures are not exceeded. To check the various …
1
DESCRIPTION The rationale for normal and postaccident containment cooling will be reviewed to determine the adequacy of the design requirements imposed on the containment ventilation systems. By reviewing typical designs, the staff will develop a basic …
1
DESCRIPTION Test data from the Marviken containment tests were obtained for the purpose of validating containment pressure codes used for performing independent calculations related to licensing reviews. The Marviken data are containment pressure …
1
DESCRIPTION The CONTEMPT computer code is used by the NRC staff to perform independent containment analyses. This NUREG-0471 [1] task involves the maintenance and revision of the CONTEMPT code to accommodate new containment designs or new problem areas as …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background SRP [1] Section 3.6, issued in 1975, addressed pipe breaks outside containment by combining limited design basis breaks for mechanistic protection with unlimited breaks for non-mechanistic protection. Prior to this, …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Individual reactor fuel rods sometimes fail during normal operations and many fuel rods are expected to fail during severe accidents. To ensure that these fuel failures do not result in unacceptable releases to the …
1
DESCRIPTION This NUREG-0471 [1] task covers a spectrum of technical efforts related to the staff review of LMFBR fuel designs. The efforts include: (1) evaluating licensing requirements for the behavior of stainless steel cladding and hexcans in an LMFBR …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background As described in NUREG-0471, [1] this issue involves staff evaluations to assess the adequacy of specific containment penetration designs from the point of view of structural integrity, ISI requirements, and new …
1
DESCRIPTION The fuel assembly is a highly nonlinear structure which can be subjected to substantial loadings during seismic excitations and LOCA transients. The integrity of this assembly is critical for plant safety. Extensive work has been completed by …
