The evaluation of the changes used the Guidance of Generic Letter 81-07 which concluded that the change is appropriate. The NRC recognized that actions such as this would be necessary in Generic Letter 85-11 that closed out Phase 11of NUREG 0612, Control of Heavy Loads at Nuclear Power Plants.

The STP heavy loads evaluation was sent to the NRC by letter ST-HL-AE-1 129 dated October 19, 1984, "Submittal of Revised Response to Generic Letter 81-07, Control of Heavy Loads." The STP procedure that promulgates the heavy loads program is procedure OPGP03-ZA-0069, Control of Heavy Loads. The licensing submittal and the procedure are consistent with the guidelines given in NUREG-0612. The submittal was accepted by the NRC in SER Section 9.1.5 and Appendix F.

The STP program for Control of Heavy Loads goals are to greatly reduce the chances for a load drop by using good design and maintenance and to show that a load drop could be sustained (no fuel damage or loss of safe shutdown capability) even if there was an extremely unlikely heavy load drop.

The use of the jib cranes to move heavy loads inside containment was previously evaluated in 1999 using IOCFR50.59 (USQE 99-1371-3) using the guidance of Generic Letter 81-07.

The guidelines of NUREG 0612 call for decreasing the chances of a load drop by using good design, maintenance instructions, testing, and inspection of the lifting components. The standard connmercial component has a 5/1 safety factor. To achieve added assurance for routine rigging activities, redundant components (each with a safety factor of 5/1) may be used or a component with twice the capacity (safety factor of 10/1) may be used. This is for routine rigging activities. In contrast, the RCP Motor Engineered Lift is a controlled, special rigging activity. This lift is not a routine rigging activity but rather is an Engineered Lift that has special attributes as mentioned above and as given in procedure OPGP03-ZA-0069. This engineered lift utilizes dedicated components that are inspected and tested prior to lift. Incorporating these attributes into the lift decreases the chances for a load drop.

The special lift rig devices described in the submittal to the NRC are designed to ANSI N14.6 and have safety factors of 5/1. This is also true for the RCP Motor Lift Rig. This is as given in the guidelines of NUREG 0612.

The RCP Motor lift rig is a dedicated piece of rigging equipment that is utilized for the particular lift. It is tested and inspected prior to use. Similarly the electric

The electric hoist is load tested and inspected prior to use in moving the RCP Motor.

The control of heavy loads program philosophy also includes evaluation for the possible effects of a load drop even if it is made highly unlikely. The RCP Motor Engineered Lift includes the requirement for an available flowpath from the emergency sump and LHSI Pump to the RCS main loop piping. This method would be used to recirculate water back into the RCS piping if an unlikely load drop caused a pipe leak. The safe load path for RCP Motor movement avoids travel over or adjacent to spent fuel, calls for travel over concrete floors rather than over grating or metal decking, and minimizes travel over safe shutdown equipment.

The RCP Motor Engineered Lift contributes to managing the risk from performing the maintenance activity of replacing a RCP Motor. This would be evaluated along with other outage maintenance activities as part of a comprehensive shutdown risk assessment per procedure OPGP03-ZA-0101. The risk evaluation may call for other measures to be in place when this activity occurs.

For example, another RHR Tramin may need to be functional in addition to the one operable RHR Train.

The Risk Management group determined that the estimated conditional core damage probability was 2E-07 for the RCP Motor lift in April 2003 during outage IREI . This value indicates a very low safety significance.

The RCP Motor Engineered Lift meets the two aspects of the control of heavy loads guidelines given in NUREG 0612 of greatly reducing the chances for a load drop and of being able to sustain a highly unlikely load drop.

The STP heavy loads evaluation was sent to the NRC by letter ST-HL-AE-1 129 dated October 19, 1984, "Submittal of Revised Response to Generic Letter 81-07, Control of Heavy Loads." The STP procedure that promulgates the heavy loads program is procedure OPGP03-ZA-0069, Control of Heavy Loads. The licensing submittal and the procedure are consistent with the guidelines given in NUREG-0612. The submittal was accepted by the NRC in SER Section 9.1.5 and Appendix F.

The STP program for Control of Heavy Loads goals are to greatly reduce the chances for a load drop by using good design and maintenance and to show that a load drop could be sustained (no fuel damage or loss of safe shutdown capability) even if there was an extremely unlikely heavy load drop.

The standard connmercial component has a 5/1 safety factor. To achieve added assurance for routine rigging activities, redundant components (each with a safety factor of 5/1) may be used or a component with twice the capacity (safety factor of 10/1) may be used. This is for routine rigging activities. In contrast, the RCP Motor Engineered Lift is a controlled, special rigging activity. This lift is not a routine rigging activity but rather is an Engineered Lift that has special attributes as mentioned above and as given in procedure OPGP03-ZA-0069. This engineered lift utilizes dedicated components that are inspected and tested prior to lift. Incorporating these attributes into the lift decreases the chances for a load drop.

The special lift rig devices described in the submittal to the NRC are designed to ANSI N14.6 and have safety factors of 5/1. This is also true for the RCP Motor Lift Rig. This is as given in the guidelines of NUREG 0612.

The electric hoist is load tested and inspected prior to use in moving the RCP Motor.

The control of heavy loads program philosophy also includes evaluation for the possible effects of a load drop even if it is made highly unlikely. The RCP Motor Engineered Lift includes the requirement for an available flowpath from the emergency sump and LHSI Pump to the RCS main loop piping. This method would be used to recirculate water back into the RCS piping if an unlikely load drop caused a pipe leak. The safe load path for RCP Motor movement avoids travel over or adjacent to spent fuel, calls for travel over concrete floors rather than over grating or metal decking, and minimizes travel over safe shutdown equipment.

The RCP Motor Engineered Lift contributes to managing the risk from performing the maintenance activity of replacing a RCP Motor. This would be evaluated along with other outage maintenance activities as part of a comprehensive shutdown risk assessment per procedure OPGP03-ZA-0101. The risk evaluation may call for other measures to be in place when this activity occurs.

For example, another RHR Tramin may need to be functional in addition to the one operable RHR Train.

The Risk Management group determined that the estimated conditional core damage probability was 2E-07 for the RCP Motor lift in April 2003 during outage IREI . This value indicates a very low safety significance.

The RCP Motor Engineered Lift meets the two aspects of the control of heavy loads guidelines given in NUREG 0612 of greatly reducing the chances for a load drop and of being able to sustain a highly unlikely load drop.

This report lists each commitment for which a change was made during the reporting period and provides the basis for each change.

The commitments were evaluated in accordance with the requirements of STP's Regulatory Commitment Change Process, which is consistent with the guidance in the Nuclear Energy Institute's "Guideline for Managing NRC Commitments", NEI 99-04. Additional documentation is available at STP for your review.

This report includes two commitment changes that were not included in previous reports.

STP Nuclear Operating Company identified two commitments made in response to Generic Letter 81-7, Control of Heavy Loads that were changed in the past without being evaluated in accordance with NEI 99-04. A commitment evaluation of these changes was subsequently performed which concluded that the proposed changes were appropriate and NRC prior approval was not required. This was documented and addressed in the corrective action program. These changes are included in the attached report.

It has been determined that the insulation design and manufacturing quality of the motors was inadequate and had resulted in several motor grounds. All the booster fan motors were upgraded using STP specifications and replaced. This has improved the booster fan motor reliability. No problems have been identified during the performance of the PMs on the motors since replacement.
