REFUELING OPERATIONS BASES 3/4.9.6    MANIPULATOR CRANE The OPERABILITY      requirements for the refuel1ng machine ensure that:
(Q manipulator cranes will be used for movement of fuel assemblies, with or without CEAs, (2) each crane has sufficient load capacity to                  lift a fuel assembly,   with  or without  CEAs, and   (3)   the  core  internals  and  pressure  vessel are protected from excessive lifting force in the event they are inadvertently engaged during lifting operations.
3/4.9.7    CRANE TRAVEL    - SPENT FUEL STORAGE POOL BUILDING The  restriction    on movement    of loads in excess of the nominal weight of a fuel assembly,     CEA and associated      handling tool over other fuel assemblies in the storage pool ensures        that  in  the  event this load is dropped (1) the activity    release    will be  limited  to  that  contained in a single fuel assembly, and (2) any      possible  distortion    of  fuel  in  the storage racks will not result in a critical array. This assumption is consistent with the activity release assumed in the safety analyses.
3/4. 9. 8  SHUTDOWN COOLING AND COOLANT        CIRCULATION The  requirement that at least one shutdown cooling loop be in operation ensures    that (1) sufficient cooling capacity is available to remove decay heat and maintain the water in the reactor pressure vessel below 140'F as required during the REFUELING MODE, and (2) sufficient coolant circulation is main-tained through the reactor core to minimize the effects of a boron dilution incident and prevent boron stratification.
The requirement to have two shutdown cooling loops OPERABLE when there is less than 23 feet of water above the reactor pressure vessel flange with irradiated fuel in the core ensures that a single fai lure of the operating shutdown cooling loop will not result in a complete loss of decay heat removal capability. With the reactor vessel head removed and 23 feet of water above the reactor pressure vessel flange with irradiated fuel in the core, a large heat sink is available for core cooling, thus in the event of a fai lure of the operating shutdown cooling loop, adequate time is provided to initiate emergency      rocedures to cool the core.
