Ornstein, H L

This report highlights significant operating events involving observed or potential failures of safety-related systems in US plants that resulted from degraded or malfunctioning non-safety grade air systems. Based upon the evaluation of these events, the Office for Analysis and Evaluation of Operational Data (AEOD) concludes that the issue of air systems problems is an important one which requires additional NRC and industry attention. This report also provides AEOD's recomendations for corrective actions to deal with the issue.
