DESCRIPTION Present NRC actions taken in response to a serious incident are directed from an Incident Response Center (IRC). To implement an adequate response, it is necessary that the IRC be equipped with appropriate communications services, information …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue effects all PWR-type reactors (Westinghouse, CE, B&W). The issue as described, [1] , [2] , [3] concerns postulated accidents resulting from a steam line break which consequentially results in a steam generator …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] after AEOD completed a study on internal appurtenances in LWRs. This study, AEOD/E101, [2] was initiated because of the relatively high number of LERs that described events in which internal …

DESCRIPTION In AEOD/CO05, [1] AEOD identified potential safety problems concerning steam generator overfill due to control system failures and combined primary and secondary blowdown. As a result of discussions with the Commissioners and the EDO, NRR …
1
DESCRIPTION AEOD issued a memorandum [1] in which a potential safety issue involving combined primary and secondary system LOCAs was raised. The issue was discussed at Commission meetings on October 16, 1980 and on November 10, 1980. NRR informed AEOD of …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background On April 7, 1980, Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO) Units 1 and 2 experienced a significant event resulting from a loss of offsite power. Although both units were safely shut down, the analysis and evaluation of the event …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Following the steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) event at Ginna in January 1982, [1] the staff proceeded to develop generic steam generator requirements which would help mitigate or reduce steam generator tube …
1
DESCRIPTION Following the SGTR event at Ginna on January 25, 1982, increased staff effort was placed on developing means to mitigate and reduce steam generator tube degradations and ruptures. To meet these objectives, two steps were taken. The first step …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background PORVs and block valves were originally designed as non-safety components in the reactor pressure control system for use only when plants are in operation. The block valves were installed because of expected leakage from …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was initiated to address concerns raised by the Union of Concerned Scientists. (References [1] , [2] , and [3] .) The purposes for including this issue as a generic issue are to: (1) provide brief background …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Once-through steam generators (OTSGs) are a feature unique to B&W reactor designs. Main feedwater is injected from a header, located at approximately mid-elevation of the OTSG, into an annular downcomer region. As the …
