DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was identified by NRR/EIB in February 1986 when it was suggested that Issue 106, "Piping and the Use of Highly Combustible Gases in Vital Areas," be expanded to include new safety concerns associated with the …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background Issue 106 was resolved with the issuance of Generic Letter 93-06, "Research Results on Generic Safety Issue 106, Piping and the Use of Highly Combustible Gases in Vital Areas," dated October 25, 1993, [1] which included …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background A generic BWR power uprate program was created to provide a consistent means for individual licensees to recover additional generating capacity beyond their existing licensed limit. In 1990, GE submitted licensing topical …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background The issue of potential hazards from combustible gases was raised [1] after two events involving hydrogen combustion occurred within 2 months in late-2001 at two foreign BWRs. Both these events involved sudden rupture of …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was raised [1] , [2] by an NMSS staff member whose concern arose from the observation that spent fuel pool racks using Boral for neutron absorption had experienced some problems with swelling and degradation of …
1
DESCRIPTION Historical Background This issue was initiated [1] in response to a recommendation in the screening analysis of Generic Issue (A) I-195, "Potential Hydrogen Combustion in BWR Piping." GI-195 investigated the potential safety …
1
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, …
