ANO: Safety Initiative:
-- Prior to ANO Unit 1 steam generator replacement Prior to ANO Unit 1 steam generator replacement outage, an event at another station occurred with outage, an event at another station occurred with the same type of lifting device that ANO was using the same type of lifting device that ANO was using to move the steam generators. The event involved to move the steam generators. The event involved some hydraulic hoses to the wedge assemblies some hydraulic hoses to the wedge assemblies reversed during installation reversed during installation because the hoses had because the hoses had no identifying marks no identifying marks. This led to all the lifting
. This led to all the lifting strand wires falling out of the strand jack and strand wires falling out of the strand jack and landing on the reactor cavity deck approximately landing on the reactor cavity deck approximately 100 feet below 100 feet below
