3.' O ' DISCUSSION 3.1 The new fuel arefves at the site in special shipping containers. Each shipping container has space for two fuel bundles.

The shipping containe r consists of a ret:1 inner container (MSC) positioned by means of cushioning na te r131s within a wooden outer container (USC).

3.2 There are several possible sequences for moving the fuel from the shipping vehicle at the reactor build.ing truck lock to the inspection stand on the refueling floor. Cenerally, it is expected that the wooden shipping containers vill be unloaded at the truck lock and inspected for damage.

Next, the MSC will be removed from thd USC, opened, positioned upright, and hoisted to the refteling ficor (4 MSC's at a tine) in the new fuel transfer basket.

On the refuelin; floor, each fuel Sundla till be ramrred from its container and transferred to the new fuel inspection stand (N?iS). the n2w faal storage vault (::F S ? ), or the sm2nt fuel storag: -301 (SF3?).

If the fuel bundle failed inspection, store it in the new fuel storage vault or other approved location. In either case, the fuel bundle may or may not be channeled.

3.5 Channel Fastener Insoection I

3.5.1 Personnel handling channel fasterners must wear clean, white, lint-free gloves.

8.5.2 Visually verify that all surfaces of all channel fasteners are clean and free of fingermarks, oil smears, rust or other contanination.

If necessary clean with alcohol or acetone.

8.5.3 Visually verify that all channel fasteners are free of cracks and 1

distortion.

8.5.4 Bolt movement within the channel fasteners shall be sufficiently free to allow for correct installation on the fuel assemblies.

d.6 ih mocling in the Fuel Precaration !!achine CAUTION: Use extre e care to prevent danage to the finger springs located on the base of the fuel bundle lower tie plates.

l CAUTION The fuel assemblies for the initial core load shall be placed in ALTERNATE rows in the Spent Fuel Storage Pool.

8.6.1 If the new fuel bundle was placed in the NFIS, connect the single-leg sling to the fuel bundle and the polar crane or jib c ra ne.

Release and lift the bundle. Transfer the bundle to one of the storage rack; around the fuel preparation nachines or lower it into the fuel preparation nachine until the nose piece is firnly seated into the nose plate.

8.6.2 If the new fuel bundle was placed in a SFSP storage rack, move the fuel grapple of the refueling platform or the general purpose grapple with the jib crane above the fuel bundle to be channeled.

Lift the fuel bundle and transport it to the fuel preparation nachine and lower $t into the machine until the nose piece is SF 33.001.01 Rev.

2/2/d2 Page 9

firmly seated inta the nose plate. Release the grapple.

8.6.3 Select the channel to be used and record the channel serial number on the " Description of Material" section of the appropriate ICA Trnnsfer form for the fuel bundle.

8. 6. '.

Attach the channel handling tool to the channel handling boom and position the boom over the channel stora3e rack.

8.6.5 Attach the channel handling tool to the selected channel and move G.

the boom to the fuel preparation machine.

/

8.6.6 Position the channel above the fuel bundle. Align the tab, with the hole on top of the channel to fit against the boss with the threaded hole on top of the fuel bundle.

8.6.7 NOTE: The channel must slip over the spring-leaf-type fingers on the bottom of the lower casting of the fuel bundle to create a tight fit.

It may be necessary to push down on the channel handling tool to complete the channeling.

Slowly raise the carriage of the fuel preparation machine, moving the fuel bundle into the channel until it stops against the tabs at the top of the channel.

8.6.8 Remove the channel handling tool.

~

8.6.9 Verify that the upper channel tabs are fully seated on the upper tie plate posts.

This can be done by one of two methods:

(i a)

Visual Check: Using a light source, such as a drop li:;ht, nn! [

a pair of binoculars check the position of. the two exposed i

upper tie plate posts (in line with the fuel bundle handla) relative to the top of the channel. If properly seated the top exposed surface of the posts and the top surface of channel should be approximately in line.

An indication of improper seating of the channel is the shadow of the unscated top part of the channel that is cast on the horizontal surface of one of the tie plate posts when the light source is positioned adjacent to the top of the channel.

b)

Borescope Check: A 10-to-12 foot boresmope may be used to check the seating of the top surface of the covered tie plate posts relative to the underside of the c'tannel tabs covering the posts. The fuel handler should sig? t through the borescope to determine if the channel tabs are fully seated on the top of the two posts.

If the channel is not fully sented, use the channel handling tool to mnually apply a 100-to-200 pound force to seat the channel.

If SP 5.i.lli.O Lv. -

2/2/32 Page 1.

a naxinun force of 200 pounds does not fully seat the channel, General Electric concurrence shall be required prior to any further seating attempts.

8.6.10 Using tre channel bolt vrench, install the channel fastener a44em51y to secure the channel to the fuel bundle.

':0 !E :

(4 If difficulty in inserting the channel fastener is noticed, the upper fuel tie plate may be tilted. This can be corrected by lif ting slightly on the fuel bundle by the upper tie plate bail.

This should return the upper tie plate to its original position.

If not, lift the channel until all pressure is removed from the upper tie plate snd then lift sli2htly on the fuel bundle by the upper tie plate bail. The channel can then be pushed slowly dounaard until the upper tie plate channel fastener post is just contacted by the channel clip.

8.6.11 Observe that the channel fastener assembly is positioned properly.

8.6.12 Tighten the asseably to 70-80-inch pounds (0.8-0.9 kg n) torque.

!aintain a 0.232 ins maximus dimension between the outer surface of the fastener guard and the channel (2 places).

Record serial nunber of torque wrench on Equipnent History Form.

8.6.13 Lower the fuel preparation nachine carriage to its lowest position.

C A.' : :.

6 The fuel assenblies for the initial core load shall be placed in ALTERNATE-rows in the Spent Fuel Storage 2001.

8.6.14 Using the refueling platform or the jib crane, lift the fuel assembly and transfer it to a storage location in the spent fuel storage pool.

8.7 Channeling in the New Fuel Insoection Stand 8.).1 Select the new channel to be used and record the new channel serial number in the " Description of !bterial" section of the ICA Transfer Form for the appropriate fuel bundle.

8.7.2 Attach the special holding bar to the top of the channel. Connect j

the cable and hook to the holding bar and caretully hoist the channel above the new fuel bundle. Guide the channel to prevent 1

damage to the channel or to the refueling floor.

8.7.3 Align the tab, with the hold on top of the channel to fit against j

the boss with the threaded hoin on top of the fuel bundle.
