4.11 Crane Inspection Program 4.11-1 Industry experience has shown that flame-cut holes can lead to cracking of the crane rails. Clarify if there are flame-cut holes in the crane rails at the Oconee units. If yes, discuss low cycle fatigue for the rails and include in your discussion the propensity for the occurrence of unstable crack growth under design loads at the flame-cut hole locations if low cycle fatigue in these locations is not managed. Additionally, provide a discussion of your plans for mitigating the potential failure at the flame-cut holes and the potential for fatigue damage to the rails. Indicate whether your aging management methods would include nondestructive examination for the crane rails.
