Results of Visit A.

Installation of Reactor Vessel-The installation subcontractor'was Reliance Trucking Il of Phoenix, Arizona.

An overhead crane was installed on

.r ;

beams and columns, supported on the refueling floor.

The beams overhung the reactor building and were supported on

]-

their ends by two columns from the ground.

i Directly under the lift area is the concrete ductwork for exhaust gases to the stack.

The overhead crane was tested by pulling on this ductwork and measuring strain--

gauge readings.

The strain-gauges were reported to read 750 tons.

The reactor vessel was said to weigh 620 tons.

It was in a horizontal position on rail trucks. The bottom cover was supported by a trunnion.. It was lifted into a-vertical position by the crane while it rotated in the trunnion.

The bottom cover was removed and the ring flange on the skirt honed.

The operation started at 8:00 am and the vessel was resting on its mating flange in the dry well by 6:15 pm.

B.

Interview The inspector described to Meesrs. Reese and Hettrick the Peach Bottom fire.

Mr. Reese agreed that installation of smoke detectors might be a prudent and economic investment.
