Description
In the aftermath of the turbine overspeed event and the ensuing fires and explosions in the turbine building at Salem Unit 2 on November 9, 1991, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Office for Analysis and Evaluation of Operational Data (AEOD) initiated studies on turbine overspeed events and turbine building hazards. The turbine overspeed study has been discussed in an article previously published, and the results were also published in an AEOD special study which was issued recently. This paper discusses additional activities that were pursued in the study of U.S. turbine building hazards. It also presents information about significant international turbine building events, including one that resulted in the permanent shutdown and decommissioning of a reactor due to collateral flooding damage
