__ a- . . _ _ - - P.O. DOX 618, NORTH COUNTRY ROAD

• WADING RIVER. N.Y.11792 Direct Dial Number November 11, 1983 SNRC-980 Mr. Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C. 20555 Supplement to the Phase I Submittal, Control of Heavy Loads SER Open Item 59 Shoreham Nuclear Power Station - Unit 1 Docket No. 50-322

Reference:

1. LILCO letter, SNRC 782, (J. L. Smith) to the NRC (H. R. Denton), dated 10/28/82.

2. LILCO letter, SNRC 596,'(B. R. McCaffrey) to the NRC (H. R. Denton), dated 7/17/71.

Dear Mr. Denton:

This letter is in response to the telephone conversation of October 17, 1983 among: R. Caruso, E. Sylvester, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, T. Stickley, T. Yen, EG&G, Idaho, and R. Grunseich, et al, Long Island Lighting Company.

The discussion addressed the August, 1983 draft technical evaluation report which reviewed the LILCO Heavy Loads Phase I submittals. The following represents clarification of the individual guidelines:

l 2.3.1 - Safe Load Paths, and 2.3.2 - Load Handling Procedures (Guidelines 1&2, NUREG 0612, Articles 5.1.1 (l&2))

Twenty eight heavy load handling procedures have been written to address every heavy load handling operation with a potential for an accident near the RPV, spent fuel or systems required for safe shutdown. These procedures have been approved by the Shoreham Review of Operations Committee (ROC). Safe load paths for these heavy load lifts have been developed and are appended to the applicable procedures.

r November 11, 1983 SNRC-980 Page Two 2.3.3 Crane Operator Training (Guideline 3, NUREG 0612, Article 5.1.l(3))

The Shoreham crane operators have been trained and qualified in accordance with chapter 2-3 of ANSI B30.2-1976. The prerequisite section of station procedure SP 35.001.01, " Handling of Heavy Loads with the Reactor Building Polar Crane (lT31-CRN-002)", requires that the crane operator be trained and qualified in accordance with ANSI B30.2-1976. The station training section is responsible for main-taining the crane operator certification records.

2.3.4 Special Lifting Devices (Guideline 4) .

All special lifting devices are used solely in conjunction with the polar crane. The lift rig vendors (Whiting and General Electric) have reviewed their designs vis-a-vis the guidelines of NUREG 0612.

Both firms are'in the process of engineering modifications to upgrade those devices not currently in full compliance with the NUREG. LILCO expects to submit the results of this effort by the end of January, 1984.

2.3.5 Lifting Devices Not Specially Designed (Guideline 5)

Slings have been rated using the sum of the static and maximum dynamic loads in accordance with the guidelines of ANSI B30.9-1971.

Each sling is coded to reflect the load rating. Shoreham does not have any slings that are restricted tc a particular crane. The aforementioned load handling procedures specify the rating capacity of the sling - (s) to be used for a particular load.

LILCO is in the process of Lmplementing the guidelines of NUREG-0612.

As each crane completes preoperational testing, it is turned over to the plant staff. The plant staff utilizes the heavy load handling procedures in the normal day to day operations of the cranes for which they have responsibility. Since all cranes are expected to be turned over to plant staff prior to fuel load, it is anticipated that, as a minimum, guidelines 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 of NUREG 0612, Article 5.1.1 will be fully implemented prior to fuel load.

I November 11, 1983 SNRC-980 Page Three With the exception of guideline'4, LILCO believes that the information

~

furnished herein should enable the NRC to verify the compliance of

~

the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station with the aforementioned Heavy Loads, Phase I guidelines.

Very truly yours,
