License Amendment Request (LAR) 2004-26, "Use of the Fuel Building Cask Handling Crane for Dry Spent Fuel Cask Loading Operations" dated March 8, 2005

Dear Sir or Madam:

By letter dated March 8, 2005, Entergy submitted a License Amendment Request to use the Fuel Building Cask Handling Crane (FBCHC) for dry spent fuel cask loading operations. The attachment to this letter supplies a matrix comparing the FBCHC to NUREG-0554 and NUREG-0612. This is provided as information to assist in your review. In the original letter, Entergy committed to upgrade the FBCHC quality classification to 'Quality Assurance Program Applicable" by March 31, 2005. Entergy now plans to complete this action prior to the first cask loading campaign, currently scheduled during the third quarter, 2005. This change in the commitment date was discussed with Mike Webb on April 18, 2005.

If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Mr. Bill Brice at 601-368-5076.

Metal temperature of the structural members essential to the structural integrity of the of the crane handling system should be at or below the minimum operating temperature. The corresponding dummy load should be equal to 1.25 times the MCL. If the desired minimum operating NUREG-0554 temperature cannot be achieved Section 2.4 during the test, the minimum operating (Item 4) temperature should be that of the test (continued) until the crane is retested at a lower temperature. The coldproof test should be followed by a nondestructive examination of the welds whose failure could result in the drop of a critical load. The nondestructive examination of critical areas should be repeated at 4-year intervals or less.

Cranes and lifting fixtures made of low-alloy steel such as ASTM A514 should be subjected to the coldproof test in any case.
