INTRODUCTION Orano TN Americas NUHOMS technology is used to store canisters at the WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility (WCS CISF).

Dry Run Training Exercises shall be planned to perform functional tests of the transfer operations, and canister insertion and retrieval operations at the WCS CISF Storage Pad. These tests are intended to verify that the transfer system components (e.g., Horizontal Storage Module (HSM),

transportation/transfer cask (TC), transfer equipment, etc.) operate safely and effectively. Best practices from the industry including all previous Orano TN Americas fuel loading campaigns are incorporated into the procedures in preparation for the upcoming campaign and Dry Run Training Exercise at WCS CISF.

METHODS Dry Run Training Exercise activities consist of a single cycle of the loading activities to allow the Operators to demonstrate proficiency and to validate equipment and work instructions readiness.

WORK CONTROL Dry Run Training Exercise activities are controlled using the WCS CISF approved procedures. The procedures establish initial conditions that closely replicate the actual conditions which are expected during loading operations.

To the extent possible, procedure steps are demonstrated by actually performing the task. Some procedure steps may be demonstrated through simulation. The Work Control Process provides the direction to simulate procedure steps as well as the basis and reasoning behind using the simulation method as appropriate.

Note:

It is normal to identify issues which may require procedure revisions during the Dry Run Training Exercise.

Should any condition arise where a procedure step cannot be performed as written, work shall stop, work shall be placed in a safe condition as directed by supervision, the issue is corrected using pen and ink markup for approval, the Operators shall be briefed on changes to the process and work is allowed to continue. The Director of Operations/Construction shall provide concurrence for procedure corrections and enhancements.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Director of Operations/Construction

1. Confirms that Operators priorities are consistent with nuclear safety and quality standards.

2. Confirms that Operator performance meets expectations for the following:

a. Command and control

b. Communication

c. Radiological practices

d. Procedure compliance

e. Housekeeping

f. Pre-job and ALARA briefings

g. Human Performance

2. Assesses the Operators understanding of expected responses to specific procedural actions.

3. Assesses the teams ability to recognize and respond to unexpected results.

4. Confirms Operators are continually performing self-critiques to ensure continuous improvement.

5. Identifies technical and/or performance enhancements that would improve safe processing operations.

Operations Supervisor Person designated by Director of Operations/Construction who has overall responsibility for the Operators Performance.

Person designated by Director of Operations/Construction to oversee shift operations.

Person designated by Director of Operations/Construction who supervises in field work activities and resolve technical issues involved with any abnormal conditions.

Operators Perform TC offloading and transfer operations as directed by the Operations Supervisor.

Perform all work in a safe and controlled manner.

Execute all work activities in accordance with the governing documentation.

Evaluator(s)

Evaluators use the guidelines contained in Attachment 1, Observation Comment Sheet and Attachment 2, Attribute Standards to determine performance readiness of the project team and to make recommendations regarding performance. Acceptable Operator performance is determined by the evaluations and resolution of areas of concern by performance of post-job critiques or a repeat performance of scenarios as required. The evaluators debrief with the Operations Supervisor during the Dry Run Training Exercise.

Plan 1004118, Revision 0 (Draft) Page 4 of 10

DAILY ROUTINE Daily Plan of the Day Briefs occur at the beginning of shift, followed by task focused pre-job and ALARA briefings which are performed in accordance with project procedures and forms. Briefing attendees shall consist of all Operators, support groups and the Operations Supervisor involved in the daily activity. Observers are encouraged to attend these briefings to ensure briefing expectations are met.

During these briefings each aspect of the demonstration to be simulated is discussed.

Best practices are tracked and implemented real time throughout the demonstration as are the practice during actual processing activities. A formal best practices and lessons learned debrief are conducted with the Operators following completion of the Dry Run Training Exercise.

TERMINATION CRITERIA If any of the following conditions are encountered, personnel are directed to stop Dry Run Training Exercise activities and place the component/system in a safe and stable condition as directed by the Operations Supervisor or Director of Operations/Construction:

A procedure step can NOT be completed as written Results are NOT within expected parameters There is a declared site emergency SIMULATION STRATEGY

1. All procedure steps are performed as written. Certain activities may be repeated as directed by the Operations Supervisor for the purpose of training Operators.

2. To the extent possible procedure steps are demonstrated by actually performing the step.

Simulations however may be necessary when the actual activity cannot be performed, or when ALARA considerations deem the use of simulation to be prudent. The procedure provides direction when simulations are approved.

3. When simulations are used, Operators are expected to conduct themselves just as if live spent nuclear fuel was being handled.

4. Ancillary equipment required for the unloading operations are exercised during the simulation.

INITIAL CONDITIONS Rigging and lift beam assembly components are staged in the CHB building for the overhead crane.

Limit switch settings are coordinated with the configuration of rigging and lift beam assembly components to ensure that TC is not lifted above 80 inches.

Loaded NUHOMS TC arrives on railcar HSM available 480 volt 3 phase 30 amp service available at HSM pad.

DEMONSTRATION Scope:

Stage following items on Storage pad:

o Hydraulic Ram Cylinder with HPU o Mobile crane o Validate correct motor rotation of HPU o Theodolite stand o Theodolite and auto levels TC arrives by rail at WCS CISF.
