LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION j

3,9.6 All cranes and hoists used for handling fuel assemblies or control rods within the reactor pressure vessel shall be OPERABLE.

APPLICABILITY:

During movement of fuel assemblies oc control rods within the reactor pressure vessel.

ACTION:

With the requirements for crane or hoist OPERABILITY not satlafted, suspend use of any traoerable crane or hoist from operations involving the movement of control rods and fuel assemblies after placing the load in a safe location.

The provisions of Specification 3.0.3 are not applicable.

SURVEILIANCE REOUIREMENTS 4.9.6 Each crane or hoist used for movement of control rods or fuel assemblies within the reactor pressurc vessel shall be demonstrated OPERABLE within 7 days prior to the start of such operations with that crane oc hoist by:

a.

Demonstrating operation of the overload cutoff when the load exceeds 1600 pounds for the mast fuel gripper and s 1050 pounds l

for all other cranes and hoists.

b.

Demonstrating operation of the loaded interlock when the load exceeds 750 pounds for the mast fuel gripper and s 350 pounds for l

all other cranes and hoists.

Demonstrating operation of the uptravel stop for all cranes and c.

hoists other than the mast fuel gripper when uptravel would bring the top of the acti.ve fuel to 7 feet below the normal spent fuel pool water level, d.

Demonstrating operation of the slack cable cutoff when the load is less than 50 25 pounds fc. the mast fuel gripper.

Performing a load test of at least 1000 pounds.

PEFUELING OPEP.ATIONS BASES J/4 96 CRANE AND HOIST OPE / ABILITY The OPERABILITY requirements of the cranes and hoists used for movement of fuel assemblies ensures that:

1) each has sufficient load capac.;y to lift a fuel element, and 2) the core internals and pressure vessel are protected from excessive lifting force in the event they are inadvertently engaged l

during lifting operations.*

l-3/4.9.7 CRANE TRAVEL SPENT FUEL STORAGE POOL The restriction on movement of loads in excess of the weight specified provides some assurance that with the failure of th6 lifting device the fuel pool would not be damaged to such a degree that the irradiated fuel would be subjected to a loss of coolant.

3/4.9.8 and 3/4,9.9 VATER LEVEL REACTOR VESSEL AND SPENT FUEL STOKACk POOL The restrictions on minimum water level ensure that sufficient water depth is available to remove 98% of the assumed 10t

  • iodine gap activity released from the rupture of irradiated fuel assembly. - This minimum water depth is consistent with the assumptions of the accident analysis.

3/4.9.10 CONTROL ROD REMOVAL This specification ermures that maintenance or repair on control rods or control rod drin es will be performed under conditions that limit the probability of inadvertent criticality. The requirements for simultaneous

- removal of more.than one control rod are more stringent since the SHUTDOWN MARGIN specification provides for the core to remain suberitical with only one control rod fully withdrawn.

The fuel grappis hoist overload cutoff demonstration load of 1600 pounds is based on the submerged fuel bundle loads of 650 pounds,- the highest -

unloaded heist cable supported 1 cad of approximately 660 pounds. and a-tolerance for fuel bundle friction and load spikes of 290 pounds.

The fuel grapple hoist loaded interlock demonstration load of 750 pounds is based on the hi hest uniorded hoist cable supported load of approximately 660 pounda plus a toleranc6 for load spikes of 90 pounds as sections are raised and lowered.
