l Please provide the following information:

1. The text in the SAR/TSR does not indicate that the feed facility cranes meet any aspect of ANSI B30.2.

There is also no discussion of whether the brakes have been maintained in

{'

accordance with the ANSI standard. Compliance Plan issue 45 was intended to resolve the issue of commitment to standards, however, it is noted that USEC has not committed to any standard for the feed cranes in the January 31,1997, submittal related to this compliance plan issue. Please clarify what standard, or portion of a standard, USEC is committed to for the feed cranes. The SAR/TSR should clearly indicate any commitment _ ,

to a standard, if USEC is unwilling to commit to any standard, please explain why not or i if the commitment is limited to a portion of a standard, explain whv.

2. DF 2.2.5.2,2nd bullet. Indicate what type of brakes are in place; use of the term hoist brakes is not clear.
