TASK III.D.1: RADIATION SOURCE CONTROL The objective of this task is to perform evaluations to establish additional design features that should be included in the rulemaking proceeding of Item II.B.8. The purpose of these evaluations is to identify design …
1
The objective of this task was to improve public radiation protection in the event of a nuclear power plant accident by improving (1) radioactive effluent monitoring, (2) the dose analysis for accidental releases of radioiodine, tritium, and carbon-14, …

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 Historical Background The safety concern of this NUREG-0371 [1] item deals with the consideration of alternatives to the basic design of nuclear power plants with the emphasis primarily on reduction of the vulnerability of reactors to …
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 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 This NUREG-0471 [1] task involves the maintenance and improvement of calculational capabilities for assessing doses to individuals from radiation and radioactive effluents from normal operation and from radioactive releases from postulated …
1
DESCRIPTION Compilation of occupational radiation exposure reports from operating reactors has shown that exposures to station and contractor personnel have generally been increasing over the past 7 years for both PWRs and BWRs. The overriding problem at …
1
DESCRIPTION This NUREG-0471 [1] task involves evaluating information from semiannual operating reports, inplant measurements program and topical reports, and revisions to models for calculating releases of radioactive materials in effluents from PWRs and …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This NUREG-0471 [1] item deals with two concerns regarding the ice condenser containment design. The first concern arises from an ACRS comment on the D. C. Cook Unit 1 review. The normal procedure used by the staff (CSB) …
1
DESCRIPTION Practice in health impact assessments at the time of identification of this issue was to convert radiation exposure estimates into estimates of health effects, such as cancer deaths, illness, and life shortening. However, the models that were …
1
DESCRIPTION Inadvertent operation of containment sprays can result in a rapid depressurization of the containment building. Where containment external design pressure may be exceeded, many plants have been provided with vacuum breakers or control system …
1
DESCRIPTION Various kinds of insulation are used on piping and components inside the containment of a nuclear power plant. The concern of this NUREG-0471 [1] item was the behavior of insulation under pipe break accident conditions where the potential …
