ATTACHMENT A Interim Actions for Control o f Heavy Loads (1)
Safe load paths will be defined for the movement of heavy loads that, if dropped, could impact irradiated fuel or safe shutdown equipment.
The load paths will be defined in procedures and shown on equipment layout drawings.
Deviations from defined load paths will require alternative procedures approved by the i
plant safety review committee.
(2)
Procedures will be developed to cover load handling operations for the heavy loads identified in Table 3.1-1.o f NUREG 0612.
These procedures will identify the requirec equipment, the inspections and acceptance criteria prior to load movement, the steps and sequence in handling the load and define the safe load path and other special precautions.
