BILLING CODE 7590–01–P

NRC Bulletin 96–03, Potential Plugging

of Emergency Core Cooling Suction

Strainers by Debris in Boiling-Water

Reactors

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Notice of issuance.

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) has issued Bulletin

96–03 to request boiling-water reactor

(BWR) licensees to implement measures

to ensure the capability of the

emergency core cooling system (ECCS)

to perform its safety function following

a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA), and

require that BWR licensees report to the

NRC whether and to what extent the

requested actions will be taken and to

notify the NRC when the actions

associated with the bulletin are

complete. This bulletin is available in

the NRC Public Document Room under

accession number 9605020119. This

bulletin is discussed in Commission

information paper SECY–96–087 which

is also available in the NRC Public

Document Room.

DATES: The bulletin was issued on May

6, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Not applicable.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Robert B. Elliott, (301) 415–1397 or

Internet: rbe@nrc.gov, or M. David

Lynch, (301) 415–3023 or Internet:

mdl@nrc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC

issued this bulletin to request BWR

licensees to implement appropriate

procedural measures and plant

modifications to minimize the potential

for clogging of ECCS suppression pool

suction strainers by debris generated

during a LOCA. The NRC has identified

three potential resolution options,

which include (1) the installation of a

large capacity passive strainer design,

(2) the installation of a self-cleaning

strainer, and (3) the installation of a

backflush system. However, licensees

may propose an alternative course of

action provided it offers an equivalent

level of assurance that the ECCS will be

able to perform its safety function

following a LOCA. The actions

requested by this bulletin are

considered backfits in accordance with

NRC procedures and are necessary to

ensure compliance with existing NRC

rules and regulations. In particular,

Section 50.46 of Title 10 of the Code of

Federal Regulations (10 CFR 50.46)

requires that adequate ECCS flow be

provided to maintain the core

temperature at an acceptably low value

and to remove decay heat for the

extended period of time required by the

long-lived radioactivity remaining in the

core following a design basis accident.

Therefore, this bulletin was issued as a

compliance backfit under the terms of

10 CFR 50.109(a)(4)(i).

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 7th day

of May, 1996.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Brian K. Grimes,

Acting Director, Division of Reactor Program

Management, Office of Nuclear Reactor

Regulation.

(Public Law 104–13, May 22, 1995), this

notice announces that the Office of

Personnel Management will be

submitting to the Office of Management

they have remarried, their survivor

annuity is terminated. Beginning with

the 1996 information collection, only

survivor annuitants who have remarried

before age 55 are required to respond.

Previously, all survivor annuitants were

required to respond each year.

We estimate 350 forms are completed
