Detailed safety analysis of Owens--Corning fiberglas nuclear containment insulation system: NU'K'ON. [PWR; BWR]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5312028
Owens-Corning Fiberglas' Nuclear Containment Insulation System (Nu'K'on) is a thermal insulation system designed for nuclear piping and equipment. It is shown that the Nu'K'on system will not cause the malfunction of any component or lead to a health hazard during normal operations; and, will not retard the operation of any emergency system or complicate the effects of an accident when used in light water nuclear power plants. The report includes a listing of both normal and accident design conditions; a complete potential problem analysis for insulation in general; description and analysis of the specific testing program used; a listing of all results and conclusions; and recommendations for the general evaluations of insulation systems for safety performance.
