DESCRIPTION The issue was raised after the occurrence of various incidents of water hammer that involved steam generator feedrings and piping, emergency core cooling systems, RHR systems, containment spray, service water, feedwater, and steam lines. The …
1
DESCRIPTION Inspections of operating BWRs conducted up to April 1978 revealed cracks in the feedwater nozzles of 20 reactor vessels. Most of these BWRs contained 4 nozzles with diameters ranging from 10 in. to 12 in. Although most cracks ranged from 1/2 …
1
DESCRIPTION Because of the remote possibility of failure of nuclear reactor pressure vessels designed to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, the design of nuclear facilities does not provide protection against reactor vessel failure. Prevention of …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background In May 1978, the ACRS and the staff expressed concern over the substantial number of LERs related to the malfunction of snubbers, the most frequent of which were: (1) seal leakage in hydraulic snubbers; and (2) high …

DESCRIPTION At all nuclear plants, overhead cranes are used to lift heavy objects in the vicinity of spent fuel. If a heavy object such as a spent fuel shipping cask or shielding block were to fall onto spent fuel in the storage pool or reactor core …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The AEC first established missile-protection requirements in 1967. GDC-2 and GDC-4 of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, require in part that structures, systems, and components important to safety be designed to be able to …
1
DESCRIPTION Structures, systems, and components important to the safety of nuclear power plants are required to withstand the effects of natural phenomena such as earthquakes. Broad requirements for earthquake resistance are specified in 10 CFR Parts 50 …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background In a memorandum [1] dated June 7, 1976, NRR recommended that a study be initiated on the quantification of inherent seismic safety margins in NRR's seismic design requirements. This memo suggested the initiation of a …
1
DESCRIPTION The design criteria and methods for the seismic qualification of mechanical and electrical equipment in nuclear power plants underwent significant changes during the course of the licensing of commercial nuclear power plants. Consequently, it …
1
DESCRIPTION Neutron irradiation of reactor pressure vessel weld and plate materials decreases the fracture toughness of the materials. The fracture toughness sensitivity to radiation-induced change is increased by the presence of certain materials such as …

This item has been divided into two parts which have been evaluated separately. PART I - Ductility of Two-Way Slabs and Shells DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in NUREG-0471 [1] and involved concern over the lack of information …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified as a generic problem in NUREG-0471 [1] and concerns the design of pressure vessels and piping systems components which must be designed to accommodate individual and combined loads due to normal …
1
DESCRIPTION Applicants are required to provide confirmation of the adequacy of computer programs used in the structural analysis and design of piping systems and components. At the time this issue was identified, this consisted of applicants providing, …
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 Since the adoption by the ASME Code, Section III, of Subsection NF on component supports, technical review has been limited to conformance of the information provided in the application and commitment by the applicants to component support …
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 According to NUREG-0471, [1] the safety concern in this issue relates to results from inspections of various structural components in the torus support systems of operating BWRs. These inspections have revealed several inconsistencies between …
1
DESCRIPTION Surface cracks have been discovered in control rod drive internal parts at some operating BWR plants. Although only observed to be localized in nature, this cracking, if propagated, could potentially affect the capability of the control rod …
1
DESCRIPTION GDC-53, "Provisions for Containment Testing and Inspection," requires in part that the reactor containment be designed to permit: (1) periodic inspection of all important areas, and (2) an appropriate surveillance program. 10 CFR 50, Appendix …
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 …
