## Abstract

Technical literature has been evaluated to assess the several-orders-of-magnitude discrepancy that is commonly reported between the mineral dissolution rates that are inferred from mass-balance calculations for natural systems and those measured in laboratory experiments. This was done to gain insights that may be useful for modeling the weathering behaviors and contaminant releases from waste materials in surface disposal sites. Predicting the concentrations and movement of contaminants in groundwater requires an understanding of (1) groundwater flow, (2) processes affecting contaminant dispersal and groundwater mixing, and (3) physical and chemical reaction processes that affect the concentration of a contaminant in groundwater. Inverse modeling of field measurements to extract mineral dissolution rates is affected by uncertainties in all three of these factors, whereas most laboratory measurements used in direct modeling address only the dissolution of an isolated material in a well-constrained system. Both approaches and the origins of uncertainties in each that are likely to contribute to the differences between the dissolution rates that are determined are evaluated. Information and insights pertinent to assessing the longterm weathering of waste materials under subaerial conditions are provided by each approach, and several aspects are evaluated in detail to support the use of inverse and direct modeling in future applications.

## Abstract

This report describes the results of the review and evaluation of ASCE/SEI Standard 43-05, Seismic Design Criteria for Structures, Systems, and Components in Nuclear Facilities, to determine the applicability of this standard to the seismic design of nuclear power plants (NPPs). This effort included the review of this Standard, references cited in the Standard and other supporting documents. As a result of this review, technical and regulatory issues that might need to be addressed are identified and a comparison is made between the criteria presented in the Standard and the criteria provided in NRC regulatory guidance documents.

Throughout this report, observations are made where the provisions of the Standard do not appear to be consistent with current NRC regulatory guidance documents. These observations are followed by recommendations for alternative approaches, further justifications, or the need to adhere to the currently accepted methods in NRC regulatory guidance documents. In some cases, recommendations are made where further detailed review would help resolve the identified question or concern.

The overall conclusion from this review effort is that with properly stipulated Performance Goals and supporting criteria, the approach presented in ASCE/SEI Standard 43-05 can provide acceptable levels of protection against severe low-probability earthquakes. However, some limitations, as defined in this report, are needed to achieve the goals of public safety and environmental protection.

By order of October 22, 2014, the prosecuting attorney was directed to answer the

application for leave to appeal the March 1 9, 2014 order of the Court of Appeals. On

order of the Court, the answer having been received, the application for leave to appeal is

again considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal,

we VACATE the sentence of the Oak land Circuit Court and REMAND this case to the

trial court for resentencing. As the prosecuting attorney concedes, the defendant should

not have been assessed 25 points for offense variable (OV) 13. The conspiracy offense

for which he was convicted is no t a “crime[] against a person” under MCL 777.43(1)(c),

as it is a “crime[] against public safety.” MCL 777.18; People v Bonilla

appropriate sentencing guidelines range or, if it cannot follow its preliminary sentence

evaluation under People v Cobbs , 443 Mich 276 (1993), permit him to withdraw his plea.

In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the

remaining questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.

# NRC Staff Proposes $50,000 Fine Against Commonwealth Edison Co. for Violations of NRC Requirements at Zion Station

----

----

NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT: RIII-97-60

June 19, 1997

**NRC STAFF PROPOSES $50,000 FINE AGAINST COMMONWEALTH EDISON CO. FOR VIOLATIONS OF NRC REQUIREMENTS AT ZION STATION**

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has proposed a $50,000 fine against Commonwealth Edison Company for violations associated with the Zion Nuclear Power Station's transportation program for radioactive materials. The facility is at Zion, Illinois.

An NRC inspection at the plant in December and January found four violations in the utility's radiation protection and transportation programs.

NRC inspectors noted that two of the seven workers involved in the shipping of radioactive materials were not adequately trained in the Department of Transportation (DOT) and NRC requirements and other applicable plant procedures. While the individuals did attend training, it didn't cover all of the necessary procedures nor did they pass the course's final examination.

Additionally, NRC inspectors discovered that some April 1996 DOT regulatory revisions were not incorporated into the station's shipping procedures, thereby rendering portions of the procedures inadequate.

The utility was also cited for shipping radioactively contaminated equipment in December of last year to the utility's Byron Nuclear Power Station with radiation dose rates that slightly exceeded the federal radiation limits for that type of shipment.

Further, NRC inspectors found instances in which radiation protection procedures were not being implemented, including the required yearly sampling of water treatment resin samples. In January, plant staff also removed a potentially contaminated rod from a radiologically controlled area without surveying it first for contamination.

In a letter to the utility, NRC's Regional Administrator, A. Bill Beach said:

"While individually each of these issues would not constitute a matter of high safety significance, collectively, these issues are significant because they indicate inadquate implementation and a lack of oversight of the program. We are particularly concerned that problems were identified in virtually every phase of the program."

Subsequent to NRC's January inspection, Commonwealth Edison suspended all shipments of radioactive material, provided additional training to staff, and revised the program's procedures.

The utility has until July 17 to pay the fine or to protest it. If the fine is protested and subsequently imposed by the NRC staff, the licensee may request a hearing.

## Abstract

This report provides an overview of the fire safety experiments performed under the sponsorship of the German government in the containment building of the decommissioned pilot nuclear power plant known as HDR. This structure is a highly complex, multi-compartment, multi-level building which has been used as the test bed for a wide range of nuclear power plant operation safety experiments. These experiments have included numerous fire tests. Test fire fuel sources have included gas burners, wood cribs, oil pools, nozzle release oil fires, and cables in cable trays. A wide range of ventilation conditions including full natural ventilation, full forced ventilation, and combined natural and forced ventilation have been evaluated. During most of the tests the fire products mixed freely with the full containment volume. Macro-scale building circulations patterns which were very sensitive to such factors as ventilation configuration were observed and characterized. Testing also included the evaluation of selective area pressurization schemes as a means of smoke control for emergency access and evacuation stairwells.

NRC Proposes FY 2020 Budget to Congress

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is proposing to Congress a budget of $921 million for 

Fiscal Year 2020, $10 million higher than FY 2019’s budget, reflecting 44 fewer full-time 

equivalent employees. 

The increase takes into account the inclusion of $38 million to support licensing activities 

for the proposed deep geological repository for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste 

at Yucca Mountain in Nevada. The budget also includes $15 million for the continued development 

of a regulatory infrastructure for advanced reactor technologies. The agency’s budget has decreased 

by more than $130 million, including a reduction of more than 700 FTE since 2014.

Details of the budget include:

• Funding of $449.5 million for nuclear reactor safety; $165.7 million for nuclear 

materials and waste safety, which includes the $38 million for the proposed Yucca 

Mountain repository; and $292.6 million for corporate support.

• Support for 3,062 full-time equivalent employees, including the Office of Inspector 

General, and a reduction of 44 FTE from the FY 2019 enacted budget. Proposed 

reductions in staffing are primarily due to declining workload, efficiencies in the 

processing of licensing actions, three plants to be decommissioned, the merger of the 

Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation and the Office of New Reactors, and Wyoming’s 

transition to Agreement State status. 

• The inclusion of $13.3 million for the OIG, an independent office that conducts audits 

and investigations to ensure the efficiency and integrity of NRC programs, and to 

promote cost-effective management. The OIG’s budget also includes funding to provide 

auditing and investigation services for the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board.

Since the NRC recovers approximately 90 percent of its budget from licensee fees, which 

are sent directly to the U.S. Treasury, the resulting net appropriation request is $161 million. 

The budget briefing slides and the Congressional Budget Justification will be available on 

the NRC website. (Due to the period of lapsed appropriations earlier this year, the full budget will 

not be available until approximately March 18.)
