| | On July 28, 1992, Sydkraft AB, the utility licensed by the Swedish regulatory |
| | |
| | agency for the BarsebAck nuclear power plant, was restarting Unit 2 after the |
| | |
| | annual outage. While the reactor was at 1 or 2 percent power and at 435 psi, a leaking pilot valve caused a safety valve for the reactor vessel to open. |
| | |
| | This valve discharges directly to the drywell. Reactor scram, high pressure |
| | |
| | safety injection, core spray, and containment spray systems initiated |
| | |
| | automatically in response to the event. Steam from the open safety valve, impinging on thermally-insulated equipment, dislodged 440 pounds of metal- jacketed, mineral wool. An estimated 220 pounds of insulating material was |
| | |
| | washed into the suppression pool. Two of five strainers on the suction side |
| | |
| | of the ECCS pumps were in service and became partially plugged with mineral |
| | |
| | wool. Plugging caused pressure to decrease significantly across the strainers |
| | |
| | and caused indications of cavitation in one pump in about an hour after the |
| | |
| | event began. The operators successfully back flushed the strainers and shut |
| | |
| | down the reactor without additional problems. |
| | |
| | Discussion |
| | |
| | In the safety analysis for Unit 2 of the Barsebdck plant, the licensee |
| | |
| | concluded that the strainers would not require back flushing during the first |
| | |
| | 10 hours after a loss-of-coolant accident. Because of the event of July 28, the Swedish regulatory agency required Barseback Unit 2 and four other units |
| | |
| | of similar design to remain shut down until this problem is resolved. |

OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 September 30, 1992 NRC INFORMATION NOTICE 92-71: PARTIAL PLUGGING OF SUPPRESSION POOL
STRAINERS AT A FOREIGN BWR
Addressees
All holders of operating licenses or construction permits for nuclear power
reactors.
Purpose
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this information
notice to alert addressees to the potential-for loss of emergency core cooling
systems (ECCS) that was identified as a result of an event at a Swedish
boiling water reactor (BWR). It is expected that recipients will review thel
information for applicability to their facilities and consider actions, as
appropriate, to avoid similar problems. However, suggestions contained in
this information notice are not NRC requirements; therefore, no specific
action or written response is required.
Description of Circumstances
On July 28, 1992, Sydkraft AB, the utility licensed by the Swedish regulatory
agency for the BarsebAck nuclear power plant, was restarting Unit 2 after the
annual outage. While the reactor was at 1 or 2 percent power and at 435 psi, a leaking pilot valve caused a safety valve for the reactor vessel to open.
This valve discharges directly to the drywell. Reactor scram, high pressure
safety injection, core spray, and containment spray systems initiated
automatically in response to the event. Steam from the open safety valve, impinging on thermally-insulated equipment, dislodged 440 pounds of metal- jacketed, mineral wool. An estimated 220 pounds of insulating material was
washed into the suppression pool. Two of five strainers on the suction side
of the ECCS pumps were in service and became partially plugged with mineral
wool. Plugging caused pressure to decrease significantly across the strainers
and caused indications of cavitation in one pump in about an hour after the
event began. The operators successfully back flushed the strainers and shut
down the reactor without additional problems.
Discussion
In the safety analysis for Unit 2 of the Barsebdck plant, the licensee
concluded that the strainers would not require back flushing during the first
10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> after a loss-of-coolant accident. Because of the event of July 28, the Swedish regulatory agency required Barseback Unit 2 and four other units
of similar design to remain shut down until this problem is resolved.

insulation to form debris and to be drawn to the sump screen. The results of
the study are documented in "Containment Sump Performance," NUREG-0897, Revision 1, dated March 1984. The NRC concluded that the risk associated with
the sump clogging concern did not warrant backfitting of domestic plants.
However, based on the Barsebdck event and NUREG-0897, Revision 1, this
conclusion is being reevaluated.
