CME Carolina Power & LIght Company SERIAL: NLS-86-120 SN Mr. Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT UNIT NO. 1 DOCKET. NO.50-000 MANIPULATORCRANE TESTING

Dear Mr. Denton:

Carolina Power 2 Light Company (CPttt:L) hereby submits clarification concerning the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (SHNPP) compliance with Regulatory Guide 1.68, Appendix A, Paragraph I.m.0. This regulatory guide paragraph provides guidance that a full-operational test at 100 percent of rated load be conducted on cranes which are used to handle irradiated fuel.

CPtlt:L will comply with this guidance by conducting a full-operational test of the SHNPP manipulator crane using the Dummy Fuel Assembly and the Dummy Rod Cluster Control Assembly (RCCA). The dummy assemblies weigh approximately 98.7 percent of the weight of an actual fuel assembly and RCCA. Although the load rating of the SHNPP manipulator crane exceeds the weight of a fuel assembly and RCCA, the maximum critical load as defined in NUREG-0550 would be the weight of a fuel assembly and RCCA. Testing of the manipulator crane using anything other than the Dummy Fuel Assembly and the RCCA is impractical due to the manipulator crane design which incorporates a mast feature, which will not allow it to lift objects which 8o not have physical dimensions and features similar to a fuel assembly.

CPRL considers testing of the manipulator crane using the Dummy Fuel Assembly and RCCA as an acceptable method of complying with the guidance of Regulatory Guide l.68. Attached are draft FSAR pages which are marked up to reflect this clarification. These pages will be incorporated into a future amendment of the SHNPP FSAR.

If you have any questions or concerns about the clarification provided above, please contact me as soon as possible.

Yours very truly, Manager Nuclear Licensing Section 3HE/pgp (36633DK)
