DESCRIPTION Historical Background Experiments conducted at several test facilities prior to 1984 showed that irradiated fuel can fragment (crumble) into small pieces during a LOCA. Some evaluation of this effect was made for NRC by EG&G. [1] Although it …
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 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 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 Following the TMI-2 accident, the NRC converted its fuel behavior research program into a severe accident research program and, consequently, no further confirmatory work on fuel damage criteria was pursued. However, some …
DESCRIPTION Core design is a fundamental component of plant safety because maintaining fuel integrity is the first principal safety barrier (i.e., fuel cladding, reactor coolant system boundary, or the containment) against serious radioactive releases. …
DESCRIPTION The objective of this task was to respond to the Regulatory Review Group (RRG) Item #55. The RRG recommendations were to provide quicker review of core reload codes and to revise existing TS to permit changes, in accordance with approved core …
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified [1] following an NRR request for reconsideration of the safety priority ranking (DROP) of GSI-22, "Inadvertent Boron Dilution Events," based on new information on high burn-up fuel and new …
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, …
