1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Esekground During the THI-2 recovery operations the lifting of heavy loads (2400 pounds or greater) is required. The hoists and cranes to be used for handling these loads include: the reactor building service crane, canister handling bridges, and other cranes and hoists.
1.2 Purpose This Safety Evaluation Report (SER) provides a NUREG-0612 (Reference
- 1) evaluation of postulated heavy load drops, including a definition of load handling areas and demonstration that the effects of load drops in these areas will not reduce the margin of safety being maintained or create the potential for a criticality event withia the containment or Fuel Pool 'A' (FPA) in the fuel handling building.
1.3 Scope This SER addresses the handling of heavy loads within the containment and FPA during defueling and describes load handling l
areas and any necessary restrictions to be applied while handling these loads. As this SER does not address specific loads or l
specific load handling operations, offsite releases are only addressed generically in this SER.
Additionally, rather than addressing specific load paths, this SER addresses an entire area (e.g. D-rings, hatch area, fuel transfer canal, or floor slab) as the area subject to the load drop. The results presented in this SER are based on evaluations of design drawings and calculations which determine the structural response and local damage of floor slabs and hatch covers. Load handling activities not included in this SER nor in other docketed SER's will be addressed on a case by l
l l
case basis and be subject to NRC approval.
This SER will address activities associated with defueling but will not include fuel transfer from the spent fuel pool to the shipping cask or the handling of the fuel shipping casks.
For the purposes of this SER, the defueling canisters are treated as
{
any other heavy load. Specific safety concerns associated with damage to dropped defueling canister and with the handling of defueling canisters filled with fuel are outside the scope of this SER and will be addressed in References 7 and 13.
i Load handling areas included in the scope of this SER will be divided into three types of areas unrestricted lift areas, restricted lift areas and exclusion areas described as follows:
I Rev. 2 0078V
15999-2-@09-8@S 1.3.1 Unrestricted Lift Areas Unrestricted lif t areas (ULA) are those areas where loads can be handled that are equal to or less than the rated load of the installed cranes or hoists.
1.3.2 Restricted Lift Areas Restricted lif t areas (RLA) are those areas where a restriction applies to the allowable lift height and/or weight of a load or load path to be used.
1.3.3 Exclusion Areas Exclusion areas (EA) are those areas where heavy loads are not to be handled without further evaluation and specific prior approval of the NRC.
1.4 Organization Section 2.0 consists of the description of the activities associated with the lifting of heavy loads.
Section 3.0 addresses the potential impact of load drops and the safety concerns associated with the movement of heavy loads in the containment and FPA in the FHB, summarizes the results of the analyses of the load drops postulated in this SER and includes any necessary load weight / lift height restrictions.
Section 4.0 presents the conclusions of this SER and Section 5.0 contains the list of references.
2.0 DESCRIPTION
S OF ACTIVITIES As the goal of this SER is to provide generic direction for the handling of all heavy loads through defueling within the containment and in FPA, specific load handling activities are not identified. However, the following are prerequisites for performing any heavy load handling activity addressed in this SER:
(1) the performance of load handling activities will be by qualified personnel trained in the operation and safety of lifting and handling equipment.
(ii) appropriate procedures or Unit Work Instructions (UWI's) are available that clearly identify load paths which avoid the
" exclusion areas" identified in Section 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 and identify the " restricted area" load handling limitations.
(iii) the crane lifting rigging and attachment points shall have been inspected and tested in accordance with approved procedures. Rev. 2 0078V
15737-2-G07-105 3.0 MEAVY 1AAD DROP ANALYSIS i
l 3.1 Introduction h
The containment load drop analyses'are based on the assumption that postulated load drops will result in the local failure of floors.
An evaluation was made for heavy load drops in containment to ensure i
that the postulated failures cannot result in draining the reactor r
l vessel below 314'-0", disabling all makeup paths to the reactor vessel (RV) or draining the fuel transfer canal (FTC). Reference 9
)
addresses heavy load drops over the reactor vessel which could potentially drain the reactor vessel below 314'-0".
Load drop analyses for load drops in FPA are based on the assumption l
that postulated load drops could result in local damage to the Fuel Canister Storage Racks (FCSR) and/or the fuel pool liner plate.
3.2 Identification of Loads
(
f Loads handled inside the containment are anticipated to range up to j
l a maximum of 25 tons, excluding the plenum; however, this SER i
addresses all loads up to the 170 ton rated capacity of the main i
hook of the polar crane.
l This SER addresses all loads that may be handled inside FPA up t l
and including the design defueling canister weight of 3355 pou s.
i
]
3.3 Identification of Targets
[
The target for a postulated load drop is considered to be th floor l
and equipment in the region directly below the suspended I d.
j J
l Specific target areas will be identified in both the conta ament and i
FFA. These target areas will be differentiated based on their l
ability to withstand a specific load impact. The load handling j
areas are described as follows:

15737-2-G07-105 3.4.1 Containment Load Handling Areas 3.4.1.1 Reactor Vessel All loads to be handled over the reactor vessel are discussed and evaluated in detail in Reference 9.
3.4.1.2 Fuel Transfer Canal Deep End 3.4.1.2.1 The handling of loads over the deep end of the FTC without filled canisters present in the FTC presents no plant safety concerns. A drop in this area would not affect the stability of the core, drain or reduce the water level in the reactor coolant system or impact the availibility of makeup; in addition, containment access would not be prevented.
3.4.1.2.2 The handling of loads over the FCSR in the deep end of the FTC, when canisters are in the racks, will be restricted such that the potential energy I
will not be greater than that of a suspended fuel canister. The following equation will be used to determine the maximum plant elevarion (H maximum plant elevation in feet) to which a given weight (W. where W is in pounds and not greater than 3355 pounds per Reference 6) can be raised over the FCSR in the containment.
H. 85,600 + 308 W
1 3.4.1.3 Fuel Transfer Canal Shallow End f
The analysis of load drops occurring in the FTC shallow and assumes that objects fall from their lift height unimpeded to the floor of the FTC and impact a point. This results in the transmission of the greatest potential impact energy directly to the FTC floor as no impact energy is assumed absorbed by the collapse of platforms or equipment.
3.4.1.3.1 The shallow and of the FTC north of the RV is classified as an ELA, partially based upon the review performed for Esference 10, and a review of loads that will be handled over this and of the FTC. This review awamined the potential for l
j failure of the floor at 322'-6" due to a drop of i
the plenum 12 feet and its impact on the availability of makeup to the RV and damage to the i
in-core tubes wLich could result in draining the t
RV.
Essed on this review, it was determined that loads can be handled in these areas without

presenting the potential for draining the RV or impacting the availability of makeup to the RV, if they are limited in accordance with the following expression:
H. 1,320.000 + 322.5 W
Where H is the maximum plant elevation to which 2
load W (in pounds) may be raised.
In the low probability event that excess daa leakage or a complete loss of the das function l
occurred the water level in the deep end of the transfer canal and in fuel pool "A" would lower.
g Water shielding over both the plenum assembly and the canisters will be reduced, however flooding the canal could be completed to increase the water level and reduce the radiation exposure levels.
i 3.4.1.3.2 The shallow end of the FTC south of the RV is classified as a ULA, based upon the reviews performed for References 2 and 3 and a review of loads that will be handled over this and of the FIC. This review examined the potential for failure of the floor at 322'-6" and its lapact on the availability of makeup to the RV and damage to the in-core tubes which could result in draining the RV.
Rased on this review, it was determined that loads can be handled in these areas without presenting the potential for draining the RV or i
impacting the availability of makeup to the RV.
3.4.1.4 Northwest 'A' D-Ring and Seal Table This area is defined in section 3.3.1.4, illustrated on figure 3.4-1 and is an EA.
This area has been identified as an area in containment where a load drop could impact the in-core tubes and potentially drain the RV.
3.4.1.5 General Containment This area is classified as a ULA if all unborated water sources are isolated (See Section 3.5.2.2).
This classification is based on the review performed for Reference 2 and 3 which demonstrated that load drops in these areas could not result in draining the reactor vessel, impacting the availability of makeup to the RV or an inadvertent 1
I i
criticality.
Criticality is prevented by the isolation of non-borated water sources per paragraph 3.5.2.2. Rev. 2 0078V

3.5 Criteria Specific Evaluations (NUREG-0612)
This section evaluates the results of load drops postulated in this I
SER against the four criteria set forth in NUREG-0612. " Control of Heavy Loads at Nuclear Power Plants."
3.5.1 NUREG-0612 Criteria 3.5.1.1 Criterion 1:
1 Releases of radioactive material that may result from damage to spent fuel based on calculations 4}
involving accidental dropping of a postulated j
heavy load produce doses that are well within 10 i
CFR Part 100 limits of 300 rem thyroid, 25 ren i
whole body (analyses should show that doses are equal to or less than 1/4 of Part 100 limits).
4 i
3.5.1.2 Criterion 11:
Damage to fuel and fuel storage racks based on calculations involving accidental dropping of a postulated heavy load does not result in a configuration of the fuel such that k,ff is larger than 0.95.
3.5.1.3 Criterion Ill:
I Damage to the reactor vessel or the spent fuel pool based on calculations of damage following accidental dropping of a postulated heavy load is limited so as not to result in water leakage that i
could uncover the fuel (makeup water provided to i
overcome leakage'should be from a borated source of adequate concentration if the water being lost is borated).
I 3.5.1.4 Criterion IV:
Damage to equipment in redundant or dual safe shutdown paths, based on calculations assuming the accidental dropping of a postulated heavy load, will be limited so as not to result in loss of required safe shutdown functions.
i 3.5.2 NUREG-0612 Evaluations l
This section responds to each of the four NUREG-0612 criteria; sections 3.5.2.1 through 3.5.2.4 have a one for one correspondance with sections 3.5.1.1 through 3.5.1.4.
j 3.5.2.1 Any releases of radioactivity caused by the load i
drops addressed in this SER would be released within the containment or in the FHB. The i
1 Rev. 1 0078V
^
15737-2-G07-105 A
containment or FEB would act as a physical barrier and prevent any liquid releases from escaping to the environment. Likewise, any additional particulates that may become airborne would be l
removed by the high efficiency particulate air j
(HEPA) filters so as not to exceed the limits established in Criterion 1.
i l
A bounding analysis was performed which assumes an instantaneous total release of the unaccounted for Kr-85 inventory from the reactor core. The amount released is assumed to be 31,300 curies of Kr-85 with the resulting dose estimated to be 9.7 millires to the whole body for an individual located at the nearest site boundary and 1.8 area to the whole body for an individual located at the Low Population Zone (LPZ) Boundary. The meteorological dispersion parameters (X/Q) used i
were 6.1 x 10~4 sec/m3 at the site boundary and 1.1 x 10-4 sec/m3 at the LPZ boundary (as j!
indicated in the FSAR).
s e
An additional analysis was performed in Reference 7 in order to determine the maximum offsite dose due to any airborne particulates that may pass through the HEPA filters following the drop of a defueling canister. This analysis used i
conservative assumptions and calculated a critical I
organ (teenagers bone) dose of 2.96 Rea which is l
1ess than 4% of the 75 Ren acceptance criteria, 1/4 of the 10CFR Part 100 dose guidelines. The bone dose is presented since it was determined to be the critical organ based on comparisons of dose conversion factors for several organs, including l
the lung, kidney, liver and gastrointestinal tract, for the distribution of radionuclides i
available for release.
3.5.2.2 The dropping of heavy loads on the fuel canister storage racka (FCSR) without defueling canisters filled with fuel being present (in either the fuel pool or the FTC) poses no safety concern as there l
1s no opportunity for a criticality event, j
radiation release or uncovering of fuel.
l The handling of heavy loads over the FCSR with j
filled or partially filled canisters present will i
be maintained within the limits set forth in l
sections 3.4.1.2 and 3.4.2.1.
This will ensure the FGR are not damaged to such an extent as to l
cause a return to criticality.
l Rev. 2
(
00789
I Load handling over the reactor vessel and the associated safety issues are discussed in Reference 9.
As in previous load handling SER's the isolation j
of non-borated water sources during the handling of heavy loads to prevent the addition of I
con-borated water to the containment sump is i
necessary. Per Reference 4, the need to isolate the Reactor Building Chilled Water System in order to prevent a sump criticality event is no longer required. The systems identified below (per Reference 3) are potential sources of unborated t
I water inside containment:
Reactor Building Fire Protection System Reactor Building Demineralized Water System Reactor Building Nuclear Services Closed Cooling Water System Reactor Building Intermediate Closed Cooling Water System Reactor Building Normal Cooling Water System Reactor Building Nuclear Services River Water System Main Steam and Feedwater Systems Reactor Building Decontamination System Decay Heat System (Auxiliary Spray)
Steam Generator Secondary Side Vents and Drains
]
Makeup and Purification System As an alternative to isolating all unborated water l
sources for each heavy load handled inside j
containment, adherence to the load weight and height guidelines provided in Tables 3.5-1 through 3.5-9 will ensure that a dropped load will not fail the floor slab and consequently the unborated water systems located beneath the floor slab over which a load is being carried need not be isolated. Any unborated water systems which could be directly impacted by a load drop within the area of a particular load handling activity will l
be isolated until completion of that activity.
During any ioed handling activity with load t
weight / height in excess of the guidelines provided in the attached tables, all unborated water j
j sources inside containment will be isolated unless it can be demonstrated that there is sufficient i
(
physical separation between the load handling area 5
and specific systems to ensure no system failure i
i in the event of a load drop.
t l
i l Rev. 2 0078V
15737-2-G07-105 3.5.2.3 As loads will not be handled over the in-core tubes, the load drops postulated in this SER could not drain the reactor vessel below the bottom of 1
the reactor vessel hot leg, elevation 314'-0".
Drainage to this level will not uncover the fuel.
Makeup may be provided by the makeup system via redundant pathways to the reactor vessel.
The dropping of a heavy load in the deep end of i
the FTC or in FPA may result in local damage to the stainless steel liner plate. The extent of this damage will be determined by the shape and weight of the dropped load, and may range from denting, to perforation of the liner plate. The perforation of the liner plate may result in water being lost from FPA/FTC; this water would be collected by the liner leakage collection system and directed to the auxiliary building sump for FFA leakage or containment sump for FTC leakage.
Necessary makeup would be provided from the borated water storage tank (BWST). The catastrophic failure of the slab in the deep end of the FTC is not considered credible due to the existence of a concrete support wall located at the center of the slab.
Reference 13 describes an analysis to determine the potential for criticality to occur in FPA/FTC due to a catastrophic failure of the liner causing FPA/FIC to be drained of water. This analysis determined a criticality event would not occur.
3.5.2.4 Criterion IV refers to " required safe shutdown functions" which are defined as those required to: maintain the reactor coolant pressure boundary, maintain subcriticality, remove decay heat, and maintain the integrity of components j
whose failures could result in excessive off-site releases.
The required safe shutdown functions that apply to the THI-2 reactor in its current cooling mode and core configuration are:
- 1) The capability to maintain subcriticality.
- 3) The capability to maintain the integrity of components whose failures could result in excessive off-site releases. Rev. 1 0078V
Reactor coolant will be maintained in the reactor system (RCS) above the reactor vessel nozzles for
~
decay heat removal and reactivity control.
Suberiticality will be maintained as described in section 3.5.2.2.
Currently decay heat is removed by heat losses to ambient which has been demonstrated adequate to remove all decay heat (Reference 5) produced by the core material in the reactor vessel. As such, no additional equipment is necessary to remove decay heat.
Reactivity will continue to be controlled if the j
level of borated water in the RCS and FPA/FTC are maintained. Thus, dropping of a heavy load would only affect reactivity control if the load drop l
resulted in breaking in-core instrument tubes, since the breaking of the in-core instrument tubes would drain the reactor vessel below elevation 314'-0".
However, for the load drops postulated in this SER, the breaking in-core instrument tubes l
will not occur because there are no in-core instrument tubes outside of the load handling exclusion areas.
The offsite releases are addressed in Section 3.5.2.1.
Consequently, safe shutdown will be maintained for load handling and load drop accidents postulated in this SER.

15737-3-G07-105 The planned load handling activities will not increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated.
i The planned activities will not create the possibility of an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously and have been shown not to be an unreviewed safety question. Since the operation of systems and equipment are in accordance with approved procedures to ensure compliance to technical specifications, the tasks included in this SER will not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any technical specification.
Therefore, it is concluded that the lif ts described in this SER do not involve any unreviewed safety questions as defined in 10CFR Part 50, Paragraph 50.59.
4.0 CONCLUSION
S The lif ting of heavy loads and associated activities have been described and evaluated. The evaluations have also shown that no detectable increase of radioactivity releases to the environment will result from the planned activities. The consequences of postulated load drops have been shown not to compromise plant safety. The accidental releases of radioactivity have been evaluated and are bounded by the analyses presented in References 2 and 7.
It is therefore concluded that the load lifts discussed in this SER can be performed without presenting undue risk to the health and safety of the public.
