NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Generic Safety Issue (GSI)-191, ``Assessment of Debris
Accumulation on Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) Sump Performance;''
Meeting
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Notice of meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Representatives from Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), Electric
Power Research Institute (EPRI), utility groups and stakeholders will
meet with the staff of Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to discuss
the chemical effects test plan and test facility that will be used to
conduct the tests. This is a joint test program between the NRC and the
industry (represented by NEI and EPRI). The meeting is a followup to a
meeting in January 2004 on the same subject. The meeting is open to the
public and all interested parties may attend.
DATES: April 28, 2004, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
ADDRESSES: Nuclear Regulatory Commission, One White Flint North, 11555
Rockville Pike, Conference Room O-10B4, Rockville, Maryland, 20852.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: T.Y. Chang, Mail Stop T-10D20, U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001. Telephone:
(301) 415-6450; fax: (301) 415-5074; Internet: [email protected]
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: One of the remaining open GSI-191 issues to
be resolved is the chemical effects for PWR Emergency Core Cooling
System (ECCS) recirculation, which relates to possible chemical
reactions between sump/spray fluids and materials in containment. The
NRC Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) has asked if
chemical reaction products or precipitates in post-loss of coolant
accident (LOCA) sump fluid could be generated in sufficient quantity to
significantly increase pressure drop (head loss) across ECCS
recirculation sump screen debris beds. This test program will generate
data needed by both NRC and the industry to address this question. NRC
and industry will conduct data analysis and reach conclusions
independently. These results will be made publicly available.
Attendees are requested to notify T.Y. Chang at (301) 425-6450 of
their planned attendance if special services, such as for the hearing
impaired, are necessary.
The NRC is accessible to the White Flint Metro Station. Visitor
parking near the NRC buildings is limited.
Date in Rockville, Maryland, this 12th day of April, 2004.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Anthony Hsia,
Acting Chief, Engineering Research Applications Branch, Division of
Engineering Technology, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research.
