Thomas M. Novak, Director Division of Safety Programs, AEOD BWR OVERFILL EVENTS RESULTING IN MAIN STEAM LINE FLOODING Enclosed for your information is an AEOD Engineering Evaluation report on BWR overfill events that have resulted in the flooding of steam lines.
These events have occurred at several BWRs and have potential safety significance.
The study found that little actual damaae has been experienced as a result of this type event.
- However, we do believe that the potential for equipment damage exists and that any damage which does occur should be fixed prior to restart.
Because our review noted some cases where the initial licensee review of the event did not adequately address or assess all the significant safety concerns associated with these events, we believe regional personnel should monitor licensee actions prior to plant restart followina these events.
