DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was raised [1] in March 1985 to address the staff's concern that there were no requirements for dynamic qualification testing or dynamic surveillance testing of large bore hydraulic snubbers (> 50 kips load …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in a RRAB memorandum [1] in March 1985 and addressed the possibility of relay contact chatter during a seismic event and its resulting effect upon safety and safety-related electrical control …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The ATWS rule [1] , [2] for W plants requires the implementation of a diverse ATWS mitigation system, Auxiliary [or ATWS] Mitigating Systems Actuation Circuitry (AMSAC). The functions prescribed for AMSAC are turbine trip …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) incident investigation team (IIT) report on the loss of integrated control system (ICS) power event at Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified in a May 1986 DSI memorandum [1] in which 21 instances of BWR vessel draining through various paths in the RHR system piping were described. Later, in August 1986, AEOD/E609 [2] was issued …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Potential seismic interaction involving the movable in-core flux mapping systems was identified as a generic issue in August 1985. [1] This potential interaction exists because portions of the in-core flux mapping system, …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] by NRR when concerns were expressed that the seismic loading on equipment and pipe-mounted components may have been underestimated. These concerns could be divided into two sub- issues: …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was raised in SECY-89-170 [1] and addressed the potential for control system vulnerabilities as a result of fire-induced alternate shutdown/control room panel interactions. Concern for these interactions arose …
DESCRIPTION In 1977, the NRC initiated the Systematic Evaluation Program (SEP) to review the designs of 51 older, operating nuclear power plants. The SEP was divided into 2 phases. In Phase I, the staff defined 137 issues for which regulatory requirements …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was raised [1] by NRR following a review of events at 3 operating BWR plants that involved inadvertent ESF actuations upon loss and subsequent restoration of power to Rosemount analog transmitter trip units …
DESCRIPTION This issue was identified [1] by NRR to address the concerns raised during the licensing of Nine Mile Point Unit 2. On February 7, 1985, Niagara Mohawk submitted to the NRC a report on "Non-Class 1E Devices Connected to Class 1E Power …
DESCRIPTION As discussed in SECY-93-049, [1] the staff reviewed significant license renewal issues and found that several related to environmental qualification (EQ). A key aspect of these issues was whether the licensing bases, particularly for older …
In resolving GSIs over the years, the staff generally found it necessary to make assumptions and establish limitations on the scope of the issues. As a result of its review of the resolution of some GSIs, the ACRS expressed concerns that the assumptions …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The Rosemount Transmitter Review Group (RTRG) was established [1] to perform an assessment of the actions taken to address Rosemount transmitter oil-loss concerns. This assessment included an evaluation of the adequacy of …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Beginning in the early-1980s, the NRC sponsored the development of a Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) methodology by LLNL. For the purpose of conducting a systematic evaluation of the licensing criteria for …
DESCRIPTION On May 26, 2005, the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR), Division of Engineering, recommended that issues related to closed Generic Issue (GI)-194, "Implications of Updated Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Estimates," dated September 23, …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified by RES after concern was raised for the number of component failures in the solid state protection systems of nuclear power plants that were caused by the growth of tin whiskers. [1] In 1987, …
The objective of this task was to ensure that the man-machine interface (MMI) is adequate for the safe operation and maintenance of nuclear power plants. This objective was to be attained by developing: (1) human factors engineering guidelines for …
DESCRIPTION On May 26, 2005, the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR), Division of Engineering, recommended that issues related to closed Generic Issue (GI)-194, "Implications of Updated Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Estimates," dated September 23, …
