DESCRIPTION At the time this issue was identified in NUREG-0371, [1] trends in the design of nuclear power plants showed an increase in the use of digital computer technology in safety-related instrumentation and control systems. The first application of …
1
DESCRIPTION CP applicants for which SERs were issued after July 1, 1974, were required by the NRC to qualify all safety- related equipment to IEEE 323. [1] From the time this standard was originated, the industry developed methods that were used to …
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 Historical Background This issue is documented in NUREG-0371 [1] and addresses the adequacy of safety-related DC power supplies which was questioned by a nuclear consultant in a letter to the ACRS in April 1977 (NUREG-0305, [2] Attachment B). …
1
DESCRIPTION This NUREG-0371 [1] item was initiated in order to develop criteria and guidelines to be used by applicants, licensees, and staff reviewers to support implementation of Regulatory Guide 1.97, [2] Revision 1. Such criteria and guidelines were …
1
DESCRIPTION Nuclear power plant instrumentation and control systems are composed of safety-related protection systems and non-safety-related control systems. The safety-related protection systems are designed to satisfy the General Design Criteria …
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 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 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 …
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 Historical Background The ACRS raised a concern that there is a need to develop criteria for vibration monitoring systems which could provide early warning of excessive vibration inside the reactor vessel. This item is documented in …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This NUREG-0471 [1] item was developed because of concerns regarding the long-term capability of hermetically- sealed instruments and equipment which must function in postaccident environments. Certain classes of …
1
DESCRIPTION This NUREG-0471 [1] item was an ACRS generic concern that initially addressed the common mode failure of identical components exposed to identical or nearly-identical conditions or environments. This concern was later expanded to include other …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue is identified in Appendix D of NUREG-0572 [1] and is one of the key observations made after the ACRS requested its members and consultants to make comprehensive reviews of all Licensee Event Reports (LERs) …
1
DESCRIPTION Background This issue was identified [1] after a review of LERs involving the failure or degraded performance of essential equipment that resulted from the failure of protective devices such as fuses and circuit breakers. The affected systems …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue is identified in Appendix D of NUREG-0572 [1] and is one of the key observations made after the ACRS requested its members and consultants to make comprehensive reviews of all LERs issued during the years 1976, …
1
DESCRIPTION BWRs are operated in such a manner as to attempt to produce an axial power distribution with as little peaking as possible. When the reactor moderator is not boiling (e.g., during startup and heatup), the axial flux distribution is much more …
