Removal, and Containment Spray Systems

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of Issuance.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued 
Generic Letter (GL) 2008-01 all holders of operating licenses for 
nuclear power reactors, except those who have permanently ceased 
operations and have certified that fuel has been permanently removed 
from the reactor vessel. The NRC is issuing this GL to address the 
issue of gas \1\ accumulation in the emergency core cooling, decay heat 
removal (DHR),\2\ and containment spray systems (hereinafter referred 
to as the ``subject systems''). Specifically, the NRC is issuing this

common names for systems used to cool the reactor coolant system 
(RCS) during some phases of shutdown operation. In this GL, the NRC 
staff generally uses ``DHR.''
