l. INTRODUCTION .

t l

1.. Durpose of Review l

i This technical evaluation report (TER) documents the EG&G Idaho, Inc.

j review of general load handling policy and procedures at Union

! Electric Company's Callaway Plant Units 1 and 2. This evaluation was 1 -

performed with the objective of assessing conformance to the general l

! load handling guidelines of NUREG-0612, " Control of Heavy Loads at NuclearPowerPlants,"U3.Section5.1.1.

I 1.2 Generic Background i

Generic Technical Activity Task A-36 was established by the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) staff to systematically examine staff licensing criteria and the adequacy of measures in effect at operating nuclear power plants to ensure the safe handling of heavy loads and to recomend necessary changes to these measures. This activity was initiated by a letter issued by the NRC staff on May 17, 1978,[2] to all power reactor licensees, requesting information ,

concerning the control of heavy loads near spent fuel.

The results of Task A-36 were reported in NUREG-0612, " Control of i Heavy Loads at Nuclear Power Plants." The staff's conclusion from i

this evaluation was that existing measures to control the handling of heavy loads at operating plants, although providing protection from

, certain potential problems, do not adequately cover the major causes of load handling accidents and should be upgraded.

, , ]

i i

In order to upgrade measures for the control of heavy loads, the staff 3 l developed a series of guidelines designed to achieve a two-phase

' objective using an accepted approach or protection philosophy.. .The

[j first portion of the objective, achieved through a set of general i guidelines identified in NUREG-0612, Article 5.1.1, is to ensure that 5 all load handling systems at nuclear power plants are designed and  ;-

operated such that their probability of failure is uniformly small and appropriate for the critical tasks in which they are employed. The j second portion of the staff's objective, achieved through guidelines

{ identified in NUREG-0612, Articles 5.1.2 through 5.1.5, is to ensure ,

i that, for load handling systems in areas where their failure might result in significant consequences, either (1) features are provided, I in addition to those required for all load handling systems, to ensure .

1 that the potential for a load drop is extremely small (e.g., a single j

j f ailure-proof crane) or (2) conservative evaluations of load handling accidents indicate that the potential consequences of any load drop

f are acceptably small. Acceptability of accident consequences is quantified in NUREG-0612 into four accident analysis evaluation criteria.

1 I

t The approach used to develop the staff guidelines for (..faimizing the

! potential for a load drop was based on defense-in-depth and is summarized as follows:

l

):

. o Provide sufficient operator training, handling system

! t l j design, load handling instructions, and equipment I i inspection to ensure reliable operation of the handling f

system.

l l 1

I 'l o Define safe load travel paths through procedures and l 4 l l operator training so that, to the extent practical, 3 heavy loads are not carried over or near irradiated fuel I or safe shutdown equipment.

J 1.3 Plant-Specific Background __

l On December 22, 1980, the NRC issued a letter [3] to Union Electric Company, the Licensee for Callaway Plant Units 1 and 2, requesting

] that the Licensee review provisions with respect to the guidelines of .

NUREG-0612, and provide certain additional information to be used for an independent determination of conformance to these guidelines. On 1

June 22, 1981, the Standardized Nuclear Unit Power Plant System Executive Director provided the initial responseM ot this request.

, 2.1 Overview -

The following sections summarize Union Electric Company's review of heavy load handling at Callaway Plant Units 1 and 2 accompanied by i

i EG&G's evaluation, conclusions and recommendations to the Licensee for l bringing the facilities more completely into compliance with the intent of NUREG-0612. The Licensee has indicated the weight of a j heavy load for this facility (as defined in NUREG-0612, Article 1.2) .

as 1600 pounds.

2.2 Heavy Load Overhead Handling Systems i

This section reviews the Licensee's list of overhead handling systems which are subject to the criteria of NUREG-0612 and a review of the justification for excluding overhead handling systems from the aforementioned list.

2.2.1 Scope Report the results of the Licensee's review of plant arrangements to identify all overhead handling systems from which a load drop may result in damage to any system required for plant shutdown or decay heat removal (taking no credit for any interlocks, technical specifications, operating procedures, or detailed structural analysis) and justify the exclusion of any overhead handling system from your list by verifying that there is sufficient physical separation from any load-impact point and any safety-related component to permit a j determination by inspection that no heavy load drop can result in damage to any system or component required for plant l shutdown or decay heat removal, i

The NRC has established seven general guidelines which must be met in order to provide the defense-in-depth approach for the handling of

• heavy loads. These guidelines consist of the following criteria from Section 5.1.1 of NUREG-0612:

Guideline 1--Safe Load Paths Guideline 2--Load Handling Procedures Guideline 3--Crane Operator Training

), Guideline 4--Special Lifting Devices Guideline 5--Lifting Devices (Not Specially Designed) i Guideline 6--Cranes (Inspection, Testing and Maintenance)

Guideline 7--Crane Design.

' These seven guidelines should be satisfied for all overhead handling '

4 systems and programs in order to handle heavy loads in the v'icinity of the reactor vessel, near. spent fuel in the spent fuel pool, or .in l' '

other areas where a load drop may damage safe shutdowr. systems. The succeeding paragraphs address the guidelines individually.

i 2.3.1 Safe load Paths [ Guideline 1, NUREG-0612, Article 5.1.l(1)]

i

~

l' Safe load paths should be defined for the movement of heavy loads to minimize the potential for heavy loads, if dropoed, to -

r j impact irradiated fuel in the reactor vessel and in the spent I fuel pool, or to impact safe shutdown equipment. The path i should follow, to the extent practical, structural floor .

members, beams, etc., such that if the load is dropped, the

'}

structure is more likely to withstand the impact. These load if i

paths should be defined in procedures, shown on equipment l] layout drawings, and clearly marked on the floor in the area where the load is to be handled. Deviations from defined load paths should require written alternative procedures approved by the plant safety review committee.

i 2.3.1.1 Sumary of Licensee's Evaluation of Safe Load Paths l

The Licensee presented a discussion on~the cranes of

' Table 2.1 which demonstrated the adequacy of the design and administrative measures to ensure that load-handling operations remain within safe load

~

paths. Figures 20 through 25 of Reference 4 show equipment configurations and the areas for movement of

Article 5.1.l(2)]

Procedures should be developed to cover load handling operations fnr heavy loads that are or could be handled over ,

or in proximity to irradiated fuel or safe shutdown equipment. 3 As a minimum, procedures should cover handling of those loads ,

listed in Table 3-1 of NUREG-0612. These procedures should include: identification of required equipment, inspections and acceptance criteria required before movement of load, the steps '

and procer sequence to be followed in handling the load, defining the safe load path, and other special precautions.

2.3.5 Lifting Devices (Not Specially Designed) [ Guideline 5, NUREG-0612, Article 5.1.l(5)l Lifting devices that are not specially designed should be installed and used in accordance with the guidelines of ANSI B30.9-1971, " Slings."E73 However, in selecting the proper sling, the load used should be the sum of the static and i maximum dynamic load. The rating identified on the sling should be in terms of the " static load" which produces the maximum static and dynamic load. Where this restricts slings

' to use on only certain cranes, the slings should be clearly marked as to the cranes with which they may be used.

2.3.5.1 Summary of Licensee's Evaluation on Lifting Devices (Not Specially Designed)

The Licensee has stated that lifting devices for the miscellaneous hoists and cranes will be in accordance with the guidance provided by ANSI B30.9-1971, as clarified in NUREG-0612,.Section 5.1.l(5).

2.3.5.2 EG&G Evaluation, Conclusions and Recommendations on Lifting Devices (Not Specially Designed)

2.3.6 Cranes (Inspection, Testing and Maintenance) [ Guideline 6, NUREG-0612, Article 5.1.l(6)]

l The crane should be inspected, tested, and maintained in accordance with Chapter 2-2 of ANSI B30.2-1976, " Overhead c.nd Gantry Cranes," with the exception that tests and inspections should be performed prior to use where it is not practical to meet the frequencies of ANSI B30.2 for periodic' inspection and test, or where frequency of crane use is less than the ,

specified inspection and test frequency (e.g., the polar crane inside a PWR containment may only be used every 12 to 18 months during refueling operations, and is generally not accessible during power operation). ANSI B30.2, however, calls for certain inspections to be performed daily or monthly. For such cranes having limited usage, the inspections, test, and maintenance should be performed prior to their use.

2.3.6.1 Summary of Licensee's Evaluation on Cranes (Inspection, Testing and Maintenancel The Licensee response states that plant procedures will be developed for inspection, testing and maintenance of those cranes identified in Table 2.1.

These procedures will include the guidance provided by Chapter 2-2 of ANSI B30.2-1976 as clarified in NUREG-CG12, paragraph 5.1.l(6), with regard to frequency of inspections, tests and maintenance.
