SUBJECT:
Thomas H. Novak, Director Division of Safety Programs Office for Analysis and Evaluation Of Operational Data Jack E. Rosenthal, Chief Reactor Operations Analysis Branch Division of Safety Programs Office for Analysis and Evaluation Of Operational Data BWR OVERFILL EVENTS RESULTING IN STEAH LINE FLOODING Enclosed for your information is an AEOD Engineering Evaluation report on BWR overfill events that have resulted in the floodings of steam lines.
These events have occurred at several BWRs and have potential safety significance.
The study found that little actual damage has been experienced as a result of this type of 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 safety concerns asso-ciated with these events, we believe NRC should monitor licensee actions prior to plant restart.
