Edward J. Hanraha[
SUBJECT:
OPE EVALUATION OF.riE IMPACT OF POST TMI-2 NRC REQUIREMENTS ON B&W REACTORS AND THE CRYSTAL RIVER TRANSIENT I.
INTRODUCTION On February 28, the Commission directed the Office of Policy Evaluation to make an independent evaluation of the impact on B&W reactors and on the Crystal River event of the post-TMI-2 requirements.
In making its appraisal, OPE considered all of the post-TMI-2 requirements -- including the Short Term Lessons Learned Task Force (NUREG-0585) as well as bulletins, orders, and letters related to the TMI-2 accident.
In the course of performing this evaluation, we had discussions and meetings with the NRC staff and B&W engineering staff. On a site visit, we also met with Florida Power at the Crystal River Unit and Duke Power at their headquarters in Charlotte. We received substantial technical assistance from Dr. M. A.
Schultz, a professor in the Department of Nuclear Engineering at Pennsylvania State University. There is clearly some overlap betweer. the scope of our review and that of the recent B&W Task Force Report:
Transient Response of B&W Reactors (NUREG-0667). Accordingly, I have commented on the B&W Task Force reco=cendations in several instances where they are directly pertinent to the Crystal River transient.
We prepared a comprehensive list of post-TMI-2 NRC requirements, the status of implementation of the requirements at Crystal River on February 25 and brief statement of our assessment of the impact of each requirement on the February 25 transient. This compilation is presented in Appendix A.
The OPE staff encountered difficulty in compiling this comprehensive list of requirements since no single individual or organization knew all that had been required of B&W reactor licensees.
Severai independent groups were responsible for analysis and development of new NRC requirements after the TMI-2 accident -- the B Short-Term Lessons Learned Task Fc*,'
