Subject:

Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2 Response to Request for Information - Tracking Number 13-A-0082

Reference:

Letter from Steven K. Orth (U. S. NRC) to M. J. Pacilio (Exelon Generation Company, LLC), "Request for Information: Tracking Number 13-A-0082," dated November 22,2013 Pursuant to your request, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) is providing the results of the evaluation of the matter described in the referenced letter. As requested, this response is not being submitted on the station docket. This response was requested to be submitted to NRC Region III within 30 days of the referenced letter. On December 19th , EGC contacted NRC Region III Allegation coordinator Jim Heller and discussed an extension due to the Holiday schedule in late December. An extension until January 17, 2014 was agreed to during that phone conversation.

The evaluation was conducted independently by an individual from Exelon Corporate Outage Services. The EGC evaluator is independent of Braidwood Station, is knowledgeable on the subject of outage services, and has over 7 years of nuclear power experience and 13 years experience performing turbine services work. EGC has determined that the evaluation was of sufficient depth and scope to address the issues identified in the referenced letter.

In summary, and as detailed in Attachment 1 to this letter, the concern that an unqualified worker operated the forklifts, overhead cranes, and hydraulic mobile cranes was not validated.

There is no indication that a Local 150 District 5 crane operator operated cranes without the proper qualifications or provided inaccurate information to Siemens Generation Services about his qualifications. There was a Local 150 District 5 operator that was unqualified at the time of hire to operate mobile cranes, however that operator obtained his qualification on August 29, 2013 prior to the start of the Braidwood Station refueling outage beginning on September 9, 2013. Both the Siemens Lead Operating Engineer and Local 150 Business Agent were aware was not cranes

operator obtain the requested qualifications prior to the start of A 1R17, thus ensuring that all crane operators were qualified to operate the mobile cranes.

In addition to the evaluation details for the information described above, the additional information requested by the NRC is provided in this letter.

This response does not contain any proprietary or safeguards information. However, Attachments 1 and 2 contain personal privacy information including the names of individuals and their certifications, phone numbers and e-mail addresses. Therefore, in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, "Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding," Attachment 1 contains an additional parenthetical marking of Personally Identifiable information (PI!) adjacent to each paragraph that contains PI!.

1. VERIFY the connections installed on the load are intended to be used as rigging pOints and have rated capacities sufficient for the load based on the lift plan (via design drawings, vendors specifications, or engineering evaluation).

Connections that have been verified to have adequate rated capacity for the load may be documented in the library copy of the work order or have the connections marked as verified to avoid unnecessary repeat evaluations.

2. CONFIRM the connections are free of cracks, excessive wear, or corrosion, and that the integral attachments to the load, Le., inserts that are embedded in concrete blocks, are not degraded and/or loose. If excessive wear or corrosion is present, then CONDUCT a non-destructive examination (NDE) to CONFIRM the connections are still acceptable for use and DOCUMENT results in the associated work package.

3. VERIFY the sling angles are appropriate for the type of fittings / hardware (Le., eye bolts, lifting lugs, etc.) being used.

NOTE A lifting beam specifically designed for both the 9 foot and 10 foot VBS concrete barriers is available that provides a direct, vertical lift for each VBS and avoids any stresses other than the direct "dead weight" of each block (Ref. NER LS-04-058).

4. If a security VBS block is being lifted, then the slings shall be kept vertical.

MA-AA-716-021 Revision 22 Page 24 of 58 4.5. Loads With Tight Clearances (i.e., loads suspect to binding, dragging, etc.)

CAUTION In order to ensure against rigging failure with disastrous consequences due to over stressing rigging equipment, adhere to this policy when conducting lifts that have potential interferences, drag, binding, or suspect load values.

4.5.1. All rigging lifts that are greater than 1,000 pounds and that have potential interferences, drag, binding, or suspect load values, such as concrete blocks, shield walls, etc., must utilize a load cell with a safety factor of at least 5 to 1 to prevent excessive stress which could inadvertently load equipment above its rated capacity.

1. If the configuration of lift is not conducive to the use of a load cell such that a load cell ~not be used, then DEVELOP and IMPLEMENT a rigging and lifting plan (Le., MA-AA-716-021, Attachment 13), reviewed and approved by the Maintenance Director or Site Rigging SME, that utilizes appropriate means to alleviate excessive stress from the allowable concentrated load values, such as:

A. Increasing the rigging capacity by at least 100%.

B. Mechanically agitating, lubricating, heating, hydraulically jacking and!or prying loose from the rest point prior to lifting.

C. Placing indicators! precision levels to visually verify if load is moving correctly (Le., horizontal! vertical).

ENSURE that access to the lift area or any openings created is strictly controlled by a watch person, barriers or both. Sufficient watch persons and/or barriers must be used to completely limit access to the lift area except for personnel involved with the lift. Barriers may consist of safety ropes and stanchions as necessary and shall be posted with warning signs in accordance with SA-AA-2115. The use of barriers is expected when it is possible and practical in those areas where personnel traffic is probable. Consider weight and size of load when determining minimum safe lift area.

4.6.12. Weight of load shall be determined from one of the following:

Equipment name plate Manufacturer's technical manual or drawing Work history Calculation using weight chart and formula on Attachment 12 Use of the dynamometer/load cell NOTE: Planned engineered lifts are only applicable to powered hoists having a load rating of 5 tons and above.

• THE ACTUAL LOAD MUST NOT EXCEED THE RATED SLING CAPACITY*

As the horizontal angle between the legs of a sling decreases, the load on each leg increases. The effect is the same whether a single sling is used as a basket, or two slings are used with each in a straight pull, as with a 2-legged bridle. Loadl Tension on each leg of a sling may be calculated by (1) measuring length and height of a sling leg or (2) using the Leg Angle Load Factor as follows:

1. Calculating the Load on Each Leg of a Sling by Measuring Length and Height of a Sling Leg:

A. Determine tensionlload on each sling by using the following formula Pick any ~oint on sling leg C

MA-AA-716-021 Revision 22 Page 47 of 58 ATTACHMENT 13 Rigging and Lifting Plan Guidance Page 1 of 3 Conditions When a Rigging and Lifting Plan is Recommended The load weight & configuration (including all rigging components) exceeds 85%

capacity of crane or rigging equipment.

The load is "one of a kind" and critical to plant operations/ damage or destruction from the load would result in generation reduction or outage extension.

The Sling Rating selected for lifting a load should be a minimum of 1.25 times the actual load weight to be lifted is greater than 25% due to the of the approved dynamic loading factor (1.25 x actual load weight = minimum rigging rating)

The lift requires more than one crane (multiple-crane lift).

The lift requires a mobile crane with outriggers that will be directly over underground piping or tunnels that could be damaged or collapse.

The load is being moved horizontally with 2 or more hoists and the angle (at the loads highest position) of the load chain(s) are greater than 45 degrees from horizontal.

The rigging used will have horizontal sling angles less than 30 degreeS/low headroom in location.

The load will be lifted near energized power lines as defined in the Safety manual.

The load is in a hazardous environment and or contains environmentally sensitive or controlled materials.

Does the load have potential binding or an interference fit & load cell usage is needed but not practical.

Infrequently performed rigging activity or first time evolution?

Does the rigging evolution involve/include two or more work groups and have all the rigging equipment/hardware been inspected to verify free of defects and satisfactory for performing the required lifts.

Title:

OVERALL OBSERVATION CRITERIA SAT I UNSAT

• • • THE INTENT OF THIS FORM IS TO BE A PROFFICIENCY OBSERVATION OF AN ACTUAL RIGGING/LIFTING ACTIVITY***

Performance levels are defined below:

P = Perform - Use plant equipment, simulator, or laboratory to demonstrate performance. When performing task in a laboratory setting, equipment similar to plant equipment shall be used.

S = Simulate - Create a realistic representation of task performance by simulating performance while explaining the task, expected responses, and required performance standards. When simulating task in laboratory setting, equipment similar to plant equipment shall be used.

D = Discuss - Perform a thorough discussion of the task and required performance standards using procedures, drawings, photos, prints or other similar equipment This option should only be used if plant equipment or realistic simulation is not readily available.

SAT (Satisfactory) =Acceptable performance of all observable attributes UNSAT (Unsatisfactory) = Unacceptable attributes are observed and mandates disqualification of RIGGING/LIFTING activities.

PERFORMANCE I LEVEL SAT UNSAT Make necessary calculations to determine the weight of an object. P/D Determine what rigging is necessary and insure that it is rated appropriately to perform the task. P

MA-AA-716-021 Revision 22 Page 57 of 58 ATTACHMENT 18 Observation Form For Rigging/Lifting Competency Page 2 of 3 PERFORMANCE LEVEL SAT UNSAT Following the rigging plan, discussed during the pre-job brief, set up the rigging. During set up activities the observer will focus on the proper pre-use inspection of all P RIGGING/LIFTING equipment.

Perform a pre-use inspection of the crane. P/S/D Attach the rigging to the hook and to the object to be lifted. P Using the proper hand signals, direct the lifting device to P/S/D center the hook over the object to be lifted.

Raise and level the load. Level may be verified visually if a P/S/D level was not needed for criticality of the lift.

Using proper hand signals, direct lifting device operator to P/S/D raise, move, and stabilize the load.

Prepare cribbing/blocking to set the load upon. Lower the P/S/D load onto the cribbing/blocking and properly secure.

Perform a transfer of the load. The load may be transferred from a stationary hoist to an overhead crane.

P/D The load may be transferred from the lifting device to a lay down area.

Turn the lifted object over in a controlled manner. P/D Upright the lifted object in a controlled manner. P/D I

the object, transfer it over an obstacle, then lower the I P/D object onto a cart and secure it I Proper use of a guide line was utilized when required. P/D Stop a load swing and gain control within 5 moves. D Lower the load and remove all rigging. P All rigging equipment has been properly stored. P
