INTERNAL HAZARDS ANALYSIS FOR LICENSE APPLICATION
Abstract
The purpose of this internal hazards analysis is to identify and document the internal hazards and potential initiating events associated with preclosure operations of the repository at Yucca Mountain. Internal hazards are those hazards presented by the operation of the facility and by its associated processes that can potentially lead to a radioactive release or cause a radiological hazard. In contrast to external hazards, internal hazards do not involve natural phenomena and external man-made hazards. This internal hazards analysis was performed in support of the preclosure safety analysis and the License Application for the Yucca Mountain Project. The methodology for this analysis provides a systematic means to identify internal hazards and potential initiating events that may result in a radiological hazard or radiological release during the repository preclosure period. These hazards are documented in tables of potential internal hazards and potential initiating events (Section 6.6) for input to the repository event sequence categorization process. The results of this analysis will undergo further screening and analysis based on the criteria that apply to the performance of event sequence analyses for the repository preclosure period. The evolving design of the repository will be re-evaluated periodically to ensure that internal hazards that havemore »

The preclosure safety analysis for the monitored geologic repository at Yucca Mountain must consider the hazard that aircraft may pose to surface structures. Relevant surface structures are located beneath the restricted airspace of the Nevada Test Site (NTS) on the eastern slope of Yucca Mountain, near the North Portal of the Exploratory Studies Facility Tunnel (Figure 1). The North Portal is located several miles from the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), which is used extensively by the U.S. Air Force (USAF) for training and test flights (Figure 1). The NTS airspace, which is controlled by the U.S. Department ofmore »

APPLICATION OF PHILADELPHIA ELECTRIC COMPANY FOR CONSTRUCTION PERMIT AND CLASS 104 LICENSE. PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION. PART A. GENERAL INFORMATION. PART B. PRELIMINARY HAZARDS SUMMARY REPORT. VOLUME I. PLANT DESCRIPTION AND SAFEGUARDS ANALYSIS. VOLUME II. SITE AND ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
The reactor system is of the solid fuel homogeneous type, employing graphite as moderator and helium as coolant. The fuel and fertile material (Th/ sup 232/) are in the form of carbides dispersed in the moderator. The design outlet gas temperature from the reactor will be l380 deg F at 350 psia with steam conditions of 1000 deg F at l450 psi. The plant will produce 40 Mw(e). The nuclear steam supply system, conventional equipment, containment, plant operation, radioactive effluents, and safety analysis are discussed. Radioactive inventories, site description, meteorology, hydrology, and geology are given. (W.D.M.) -

APPLICATION TO UNITED STATES ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION FOR CONSTRUCTION PERMIT AND UTILIZATION FACILITY LICENSE FOR THE FLAIR REACTOR TO BE CONSTRUCTED AT THE TRIGA FACILITY OF THE JOHN JAY HOPKINS LABORATORY, SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA. Enclosure 2: HAZARDS SUMMARY REPORT
A moditied TRIGA reactor and experiments to be conducted with the reactor are described. The FLAW Reactor (Flashing Advanceed Irradiation Reactor) will use TRIGA fuel elements in the same core array as the TRIGA, but will employ a variety of reflector materials. Purpose of the experiments is to measure the effects of various reflectors on the transient and steady-state characteristics of the reactor. The reactor building, the reactor, and-associated instrumentation are discussed. An analysis of the potential hazards of operations is presented. (W.D.M.)
