8.0 PROCEDURE NOTE: Skip Step 8.1 if the shipping container is already positioned to accept a fuel assembly and see ref erence 2.2 for shipping con-tainer inspection forms completed during new fuel receipt.
8.1 Preparation of shipping container for new fuel loading.
8.1.1 Using the cask handling crane or a f orklif t, position an empty or partially empty new fuel shipping con-tainer on a level surf ace within the reach of the auxiliary hook of the cask handling crane.
RS 0723 Page 7 Rev. 03 8.1.2 Visually inspect the exterior of the container for the items listed in part 1 of Form RS 0723A.
8.1.3 Remove the two wingnuts and the round cover plate over the air valve at the aft end of the container.
Equalize container pressure with atmospheric pressure by pressing or removing the air valve core (see Figure 10.2). Insert the air valve core if it has been re- l moved, then replace the cover plate and two wingnuts.
8.1.4 Loosen the fastener hardware between the container shell halves. If the container is equipped with bolts, simply untysten. If the container is equipped with 1/4-turn Cat 1cc f asteners, unlock by turning 90*
counterclockwise with a wrench. Camloc studs must be lif ted from their receptacles by hand before raising the co ;ainer cover.
8.1.5 Attach the 4 point lif ting harness to the lif ting lugs on the container lid.
NOTE: All lifting will be done using the cask handling cranc auxiliary hooks.
8.1.6 Slowly raise the cover approximately 2 or 3 inches and verif y separation of the cover f rom the container. Do not attempt to reposition the gasket seal at this time.
C AUTION: DO NOT place hands or fingers between the cover and container sections.
8.1.7 Raise the cover an additional 3 f eet (approximately) in order to clear the container internals. If the gasket seal has been misaligned during cover removal, reposition the gasket seal on the bottom container half. Move the container cover to a suitable lay-down area with wooden cribbing.
8.1.8 Visually inspect the interior of the container for loose or broken parts. Complete part 2 of RS 0723 A.
NOTE: Do not load a fuel assembly into a container of questionable integrity.
8.1.9 Position the outrigger members located on the outside of the container assembly, as shown in Figure 10.2.

I RS 0723 Page S Rev. 03 8.1.10 Remove the ball lock pin securing the lateral lock tubes at the aft end of the shock mount frame. See i Figure 10.3. It will be necessary to lif t the inter-nals to permit telescoping the lock tubes into their pockets. This may be accomplished in either of two ways:
- a. Cran'e lif t by the lif ting fixtures provided in the vicinity of the bottom support. Some containers have a lift ring attached to each axle pillow ,
block while others have rings on the bottom sup- {
port base. Crane lif ting requires the two-legged lifting sling.
or
- b. A small hydraulic jack may be used to jack against the underside of the bottom support. A piece of wood approximately 2 x 6 x 6 inches must be placed underneath the jack to prevent bending the con-tainer with the jack base.
Secure the lock tubes in position by tightening the screws on the lock tube pockett located on the con- l tainer shell.
8.1.I1 Loosen the swing b'olt clamps of the shock mount frame and swing the clamps free of the fuel assembly support frame. See Figures 10.2 and 10.3.
8.1.12 Completely back off the hold-down pad screws on the top closure assemblies. Remove the ball lock pins securing the top closure assemblies and swing the assemblies open as far as possible.
8.1.13 Unfasten each of the clamping frame fastener nuts on each side to be used. Leave clamping frames closed with the f astener nuts still slightly f astened. See i
Figure 10.3.
8.1.14 Loosen each of the locking and jacking nuts on each clamping frame assembly hold-down pad. Turn each jacking nut toward the hold-down pad as far as l l
possible.
8.1.15 Some containers may contain a ballast if only one fuel l assembly is to be shipped. If present, the ballast I
must be removed bef ore the support frame is pivoted to the vertical position.
8.1.15.1 Unf asten each of the clamping f rame j
fastener nuts.
8.1.15.2 Loosen each of the locking and jacking nuts on each clamping frame assembly hold-down pad. Turn each jacking nut toward the hold-down pad as far as possible.

RS 0723 Page 9 Rev. 03 8.1.15.3 Swing open the clamping f rames for the position being unloaded and adjust the i clamping f rame hardware as necessary to provide a free exit path for the ballast.
l-8.1.15.4 Attach the crane with lifting sling to the ballast.
8.1.15.5 Remove the ballast from the support frame making sure to avoid contact with the clamping frame hardware.
8.1.15.6 Set the ballast aside and detach the crane.
8.1.16 Attach the crane to the lifting eye at the forward end of the fuel assembly support frame. This operation requires the steel shackle and short (single legged) steel sling.
8.1.17 Pivot the support frame slowly to the vertical posi-tion. Coordinate crane movement in the vertical direction with crane movement in the horizontal in steps small enough to maintain vertical alignment of the cable. Be sure to not lift the container off the floor.
CAUTION: All personnel should be clear of shipping containers before up-righting the support f rame.
8.1.18 While holding support frame in the vertical position, install the suppor:s and secure with hardware pro-vided. See Figure 10.4 and 10.5. The crane should not be remcved f rom the lif ting eye until the uprighted support frame is secured.
8.2 Loading a new fuel assembly into a shipping container.
8.2.1 If there is a core component in the fuel assembly and f it is not to be shipped with the fuel assembly, remove it per step 8.4.9 of RS 0722.
8.2.2 Open the fuel clamping f rames f or the fuel assembly position being loaded. Swing back all clamping frames and adjust clamping f rame hardware as necessary to p rovide a clear path f or fuel movement.
8.2.3 If the fuel assembly is not already attached to the fuel handling tool, center the handling tool above the fuel assembly, insure the crane hook is centered above the fuel assembly, then carefully guide the tool onto the exposed nozzle. Lock in place and take up the slack in the cable then remove the fuel assembly f rom the storage location. H.P. shall survey the fuel assembly and determine surface contamination to be within acceptable levels before the assembly is placed in the shipping container.
j
RS 0723 Page 10 Rev. 03 NOTE: See Figure 40.7 for handling tool. instructions.
8.2.4 The fuel assembly should have a polyethylene wrapper carefully placed around it using tape to secure it in place. It must be folded flush with the bottom of the bottom nozzle and folded back, sleeve style, to just below the bottom grid. The wrapper should be folded back at the top nozzle to just above the top grid and should extend 3 or 4 inches above the top nozzle.
There must not be more than a single wrapper between any grid and support f rame.
8.2.5 Carefully move the fuel assembly to the shipping con-tainer area. Maneuver the fuel assembly over the lip of the container shell carefully since the lip repre-sents a potential barrier. The fuel assembly must be oriented so that the two sides adjacent to the "Y" corner are aligned with the support frame surfaces.
See Figure 10.6.
8.2.6 Elevate the fuel assembly so that there is clearance between its lower surface and the shipping container lower shell flange. This will permit the fuel assembly to be moved into the container support frame without dragging the fuel assembly on its bottom sur-face.
8.2.7 Move the fuel assembly into the support frame making sure that no obstructions block the entry path. The two fuel assembly sides in the support frame should be brought up to touch the support frame.
8.2.8 Lower the fuel assembly to contact the-support frame while manually pressing the assembly bottom nozzle and bottom grid into the frame. The lifting cable should remain taut af ter the fuel assembly seats. If any clearance is evident between the bottom nozzle or bot-tom grid and support frame, the fuel assembly is seated improperly and must be raised and reseated.
Proceed with step 8.2.9 only if the fuel assembly is properly seated.
8.2.9 Check that the top (uppermost) clamping frame is pro-perly aligned with the top grid. Close the clamping f rame halves around the top grid and tighten the clamping frame fastener nut.
NOTE: Frame joint must seat with no gap.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the jacking nuts referenced in the following operations.
Severe damage to the assembly may result if this procedure is not followed.

- 1. Suspend the tool f rom the overhead crane using a basket hitch with the nylon sling.
- 2. Center the tool above the fuel assembly to be lif ted.
Note: Check that the saf ety screw on the side of the tool is turned out and the operating handles are in the UP position.
- 3. Slowly lower the tool and guide the two locating pins into the holes in the fuel assembly top nozzle.
- 4. When the tool has bottomed on the fuel assembly, move the operating handles to the'DOWN position and turn the safety screw IN. The fuel assembly is now ready to be lif ted and moved to another location.
