NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Potential Impact of Debris Blockage on 

Emergency Sump Recirculation at 

Pressurized-Water Reactors; Issue

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission.

ACTION: Notice of issuance.

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) has issued Generic 

Letter (GL) 2004–02 to all holders of 

operating licenses for pressurized-water 

reactors (PWRs), except those who have 

permanently ceased operations and 

have certified that fuel has been 

permanently removed from the reactor 

vessel. The generic letter asks licensees 

of pressurized water nuclear power 

reactors to perform an evaluation and 

provide information that enables the 

NRC staff to verify whether licensees 

can demonstrate that their emergency 

core cooling system (ECCS) and 

containment spray system (CSS) are 

capable of performing their intended 

post-accident mitigating functions 

following a design basis accident 

requiring recirculation operation. The 

primary objective is to ensure that 

licensees are in compliance with the 

licensing and design bases requirements 

of their facilities with respect to the 

ECCS having the capability to provide 

long-term cooling of the reactor core 

following a loss of coolant accident 

(LOCA) as specified in the NRC 

regulations in title 10, of the Code of 

Federal Regulations section 50.46, 10 

CFR 50.46.

DATES: This generic letter was issued on 

September 13, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Not applicable.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

David Cullison, NRR, 301–415–1212 or 

by e-mail: dgc@nrc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Generic 

Letter 2004–02 may be examined and/or 

copied for a fee at the NRC’s Public 

Document Room, located at One White 

Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first 

floor), Rockville, Maryland, and is 

accessible electronically from the 

Agencywide Documents Access and 

Management Systems (ADAMS) Public 

Electronic Reading Room on the Internet 

at the NRC Web site, http://

www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. 

The ADAMS Accession No. for the 

generic letter is ML042360586.
