21.21 UNSPECIFIED PARAGRAPH PART 21 NOTICE FOR WHITING CRANES Based on a recent Engineering study of Whiting Crane SN 10698 at Robinson Station we have identified an overstress condition on the slack line load sensing structural frame interior plate welds. This condition is limited to the main hoist of a few redundant (single failure proof) cranes having capacities of 125 tons. They have reviewed trolley drawings for all redundant trolleys and have isolated the problem to 3 Whiting cranes SN 10388, 1 0389 (Brunswick Station) & 10698 (Robinson Station). Based on their records no other cranes are affected. These cranes must be limited to operating at 59 tons (47% of rated capacity) until the appropriate repairs are made. If customers have a concern related to cranes at their facility or require additional information they can direct their request to whiting-nuclear~whitingcorp.com or to the Whiting Corporation 10 CFR 21 hot line at 708-587-2550.

Include your name, title, mailing address, e-mail address, phone #, fax #, Whiting Crane serial number, earliest critical lift date, and any specific requests. The company will reply upon completing any necessary research and based on the dates of the earliest critical lift.
