Identification of New Unresolved Safety Issues Relating to Nuclear Power Plants

Description: From abstract: As a result of review by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff and extended collegial consultations and investigations within the NRC, the Commission has designated four new Unresolved Safety Issues (USIs). This report describes the process used to evaluate the large number of concerns and recommendations which resulted from the major investigations of the Three Mile Island-2 accident, as well as other events and investigations of the past year, and it identifies the four… more

Reactor Safety Study: An Assessment of Accident Risks in U.S. Commercial Nuclear Power Plants, Appendix 1

Description: From introduction: In conventional safety analyses, a suitable design basis, including redundancy, is specified to assure a minimum level of operability of ESFs, and the likelihood or consequences of total failure of ESFs are not considered further. In this study all failures are considered possible, but appropriate probabilities are assigned to them. Thus, many potential accident sequences are described in the following discussions as if they will surely occur, with no reservations expressed a… more

Reactor Safety Study: An Assessment of Accident Risks in U.S. Commercial Nuclear Power Plants, Appendices 3 and 4

Description: From section 1: In the quantitative system probability estimates performed in this study, component behavior data in the form of failure rates and repair times are required as inputs to the system models. Since the goal of this study is risk assessment, as opposed to reliability analysis, larger errors (e.g. order of magnitude type accuracy) can be tolerated in the quantified results. This has important implications on the treatment of available data. In standard reliability analysis, point val… more

Safety Evaluation Report: Related to the Preliminary Design of the Standard Reference System RESAR-414

Description: From introduction: This Safety Evaluation Report summarizes the results of the technical evaluation of the proposed RESAR-414 design performed by the NRC staff, and delineates the scope of the technical matters considered in evaluating the radiological safety aspects of the RESAR-414 design. Environmental aspects were not considered in our review of RESAR-414, but will be addressed in each utility application for a construction permit which references RESAR-414.
