WEEKLY ITEMS OF INTEREST(Week Ending September 28, 1979)
North Anna 1
At 0609 on September 25, 1979, a turbine trip caused the reactor to trip.The turbine trip was caused by a high level in a feed beater drain coolerresulting from a tube rupture in the cooler. When the turbine tripped, the
valves (turbine bypass valves) opened to reduce the reactormain steam dump (RCS) temperature to 547'F.When the temperature decreasedcoolant systembelow the steam dump setpoint, one steam dump valve failed to close, but was
' subsequently isolated by the Main Steam Trip Valves.
Excessive cooldown caused by the open steam dump resulted in an RCSdepressuriz.ation and an initiation of the safety injection of the EmergencyCore Cooling System. The_ reactor coolant pumps were manually tripped asrequired. The RCS pressure was restored and safety injection was terminatedat 0534.
Upon securing safety injection, RCS charging and letdown was reestablished.During this period, radioactivity was released to the auxiliary building.
.
This event was caused by: (1) the operator failing to realign the chargingpump suction from the refueling water storage tank to tne volume controltanks resulting in overflow of the tank through its relief valve to the highlevel waste drain tank (cause of overflow was RCS letdown), and (2) the absenceof a section of pipe in the line from the high level waste drain tank to theprocess vent. The radioactivity was not significant in that the maximumexposure to workers was 7 mrem to one person and 5 mrem to three or four othersand part of this exposure could have resulted from routine cuties.
During this transient, radiation levels increased in containment because of-
leakage through RCP seals and there was a RCS cooldown in excess of 100*F/hr.
VEPC0 is being requested to analyze this event and provide us with additionalinformation which we will review prior to startup after refueling (about3 months).

GETR (50-70)
By letter dated September 27, 1979, the NRC provided its safety evaluationto the General Electric Company regarding the proper seismic / geologic designbases for the General Electric Test Reactor. GETR was ordered shutdown enOctober 24, 1977 because of evidence of faulting at the site.
The seismic / geologic design bases presented are:
1. Surfece Offset - 2-1/2 meters net slip beneath the reactor
2. Maximum Vibratory Ground Motion - Acceleration peaks at the free fieldsurface slightly in excess of 19 (staff must still define this designbasis in terms of effective acceleration and response spectrum)
3. Combined Loads Due to Offset and Ground Motion - Offset and maximumvibration ground motion act simultaneously.
4. Landslide - Potential for landslide exists.
The design bases for surface offset and combined loads are in excess ofthose proposed by GE; Due to the staff's conclusion that a 2-1/2 metersurface effort is possible, we will not continue our evaluation of the GETRfacility which GE has analyzed for a 1 meter offset.
Palisades
During inspections following a reactor shutdown for refueling, cracks werefound in both steam generator feedwater lines it the Palisades Plant. Theinspections were performed in response to IE Bulletin 79-13. ConsumersPower Company ' issued a press release on September 21, 1979.
Vermont Yankee
At 0825 on Saturday, September 22, 1979, Vermont Yankee shutdown to begin aplanned refueling outage. On Sunday, September 23, 1979, a demonstrationwas conducted outside the plant by the " Vermont Yankee DecommissioningAlliance" seeking a utility commitment not to restart the Vermont Yankee plant.167 demonstrators were an ested by State Police for blocking access to themaine gate. Demonstrations on Wednesday, September 26, 1979, resulted in 26additional arrests.

These supports have been corrected by reanalysis orphysical change, and the plant is starting its pc.;er ascension program upto the previously authorized 70% power.
Meeting with EPA on Reactor Effluent Control
On September 21, 1979 NRC: staff members on the 40 CFR Part 190 task forcemet with Mr. David Hawkins, EPA Assistant Administrator for Air, Noise andRadiation and members of his staff. The meeting was requested by EPA,so that Mr. Hawkins could.be briefed on radioactive effluent control atNRC licensed facilities. The meeting resulted in a very productive inter-change, that we believe should make it possible to proceed on implementationmeasures for the Clean Air Acts Amendments of 1977.
Psycholooical Effects of TMI on the General Population
While attending the Radiation and Health Conference held in Hershey,Pennsylvania on September 14 and 17,1979 we learned of two medical doctorswho have initiated sever.al research tasks to study the pyschological effectsof the TMI accident. We are unaware of any other psychological researchon THI which has baseline measures. Their research is especially uniquein that one of the tasks involved testing 100 subjects for whom they havepre-TMI baseline measurements of distress. They have also documented theemotional patterns of response to the accident of evacuees to the HersheySports Arena and of a sample of the general population.
It is our assessment from the-limited information provided to us that thestudies are unique in important respects and would be of considerable valuein understanding the nature and magnitude of psychological stress created bythe TMI accident. Their findings are of potentially great value to theexploration of psychological stress should the Commission determine thatthe issue is legally relevant in the TMI Unit 1 restart hearings. Therefore,we are exploring the feasibility and possible scope of a contract with theHershey Medical Center to process and analyze the data in a timely mannerfor potential use in the above hearings. At present, data processing andanalysis is on a time available basis and the doctors have no schedulefor completion of their analysis.

On September 26, 1979, a notice of rulemaking was published in theFederal Register to amend 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix G, " FractureToughness Requirements", and Appendix H, " Reactor Material Surve' ~ anceProgram Requirements". This amendment of 10 CFR Part 50 comprise-a limited revision of these Appendices. The purpose is to lift somerestrictions that have proved to be unnecessary and to delete sometechnical detail by substituting references to National Standards.
The amendment to Appendix G deletes the specific fracture toughnessrequirements for bolting and substitutes similar requirements forthe ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME Code). The amendmentto Appendix H deletes restrictions on the location and method ofattachment of material surveillance capsules in the reactor vesseland substitutes general requirements that reference the ASME Code.
The amemdments will reduce significantly the number of exemptionsto Appendices G and H in current applications for operating licenses,and thereby save considerable time and effort on the part of applicantsand reactor vessel vendors and the NRC staff as well.
2. On Friday, September 28, 1979, Mr. Minogue, the U.S. member of theIAEA Senior Advisory Group is attending a meeting of the ANSI TechnicalAdvisory Group for international nuclear standards. The primary purposeof this meeting is to get clarification and agreement on the U.S. positionregarding the interfaces among IAEA/IEC/ ISO nuclear standards programs,and to explore ways to shift more of the burden of coordination ofU.S. positions to the Technical Advisory Group.

Palo Verde Nuclear Plant, Units 4 and 5
Af ter being informed by the joint applicants that they were withdrawing theirapplication for construction permits for Palo Verde Units 4 and 5, theLicensing Board, in an order dated Septenber 27, 1979, terminated ~all proceedingsinvolving that application and dismissed the case.
Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2
On September 27, 1979, the Atomic Safety and Licensir.g Board issued a PartialInitial Decision in this operating license oroceeding. The Board found thataircraft and missile operations in the vicinity of the plant do not presentan undue risk to the public health and safety. The Licensing Board deferredits findings on the Emergency Plan and Quality Assurance issues due to theuncertainty of the applicability of the Three Mile Island - 2 Lessons Learnedto this licensing proceeding. It also deferred ruling on the radon issue basedon the Appeal Board's findings in ALAB-562.
On the significant seismic issues raised by the extstence of the Hosgri Faultdiscovered some three miles from the Diablo Can'tn facility, the LicensingBoard found, among other things, that 7.5 magnitude is a ver-y conservative value
- for the safe shutdown earthquake and that the 7.5 magnitude earthquake usedin the seismic reanalysis of this plant was reasorable and meets regulatorycriteria. The Board found that 0.75g assigned to the safe shutdown earthquakeis an appropriately conservative value for the maximum vibratory ground accelerationthat could be expected from a 7.5g earthquake, and was thus an appropriateanchorpoint for design response spectra. It also found that use of an operatingbasis earthquake acceleration of 0.2g is reasonable and meets the requirementsof Appendix A, Section V, paragraph (a)(2) of 10 CFR 100. The Board found thatCategory I structures, systems, and components of the plant would perform asrequired during the seismic load of the safe shutdown earthquake and areadequate to assure the integrity of the coolant pressure boundary and thecapability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe condition. TheBoard also found that all structures, systems, and components necessary forcontinued operation without undue risk to the health and safety of the publicwill remain functional and within applicable stress and deformation limits whensubjected to the effects of the .2g operating basis earthquake.
In addition to the aircraft, missile and seismic issues, the Board found thatApplicant's security plan complies with all applicable NRC regulations.
