BWR off-gas systems: operating experience and planning study. Final report

This report addresses BWR off-gas systems in the context of operating problems, particularly with augmented systems. Special emphasis has been placed on explosions and internal burning because these events are of the greatest concern and have the most significant impact. Preventive measures and safety precautions that apply to explosions are described. More conventional types of operating problems are described, and corrective measures are noted. Candidate R and D projects are suggested. In addition to its direct value in documenting problems and solutions, this report can be used as a review guide and for off-gas system operator training
