Verificatian by the licensee that the risk associated with :oad-.and..ng failur,.s at nuclear power plants is extrenely low will require a systema:tic e- al,.a-tion of all load-handling syste-s at each site. The following specific infora:1cr.
 
requests have been organized tz suppor: such a syste-atic approach, and provi-e a basis for the staff's review of the licer.see's evaluation.
 
Additionally, they have been organized to address separately the two hazards requiring investiga:ia.on I.e..radic-logical consequences of damage to f!:el and unavailability z-nsequences of:a.-.ae to systems).

3. A certain amount of "cross-talk" was occuring between redundant trans-ducers located a few feet apart on the same run of 4" pipe.Station and vendor personnel shortened and rerouted transducer cables to improve noise rejection.
2. For any cranes identified in 2.1-1 no:

;ro-v!ded in 2.1-3-c. Inpact areas should be i-denti-fied by construction zones and elevations or by some other =ethcd such that the area can be located on the plant general arrangement dra'ings.


Vendor specialists optimized transducer placement and synchronized both transducers to the same ultrasonic instrument internal clock to minimize cross-talk and improve signal to noise characteristics.
Figure 1 provides a typical matrix.b. For each interaction identified, indicate which of the load and i--pact area co-bInativns can )e because of separation and redundanct of safery-related equip-ment, mechanical sC:,s and/or electrical interlocks, or other st:e-specific considera:ions.


Following these actions the CMS appeared to function properly.Further difficulties were encountered when apparently minor quantities of water leaked into the SDV as a result of control rod drive scram valve maintenance activities and minor scram outlet valve leakage. It appears that the trans-ducers are located on a section of SDV piping which forms a local low point.Accordingly, small amounts of water can accumulate to a depth which triggers the high level alarm (at 1-1/4") before the water drains to the instrument volume. The licensee in conjunction with the NSSS vendor, performed a unit specific analysis for a conservative high alarm setpoint and reset the alarm point to 2-1/2". The system now appears to function properly.
Elimina:ion on the basis cf the aforementicned consideration should be SuFlemen:ed
'y the following specifiL inf=zra-tion: (1) For load/target combinatiors elimina:ed because of separation and redundancy cf safety-related equipment, discuss the basis for determining that load drops illinot affect continued svs:em v-Qera-tion (i.e., the abilit:' of :he syse-: to perform its safety-related func:ion'.
(2) `here mechanical stops or electrical interlocks are to be provided, present details showing the areas where crane travel will be prohibited.


A five second alarm time delay was also installed to aid in rejecting spurious alarms.
Addirtonal- i. provide a discussion concerning the procedures that are to be used for authorizing the bypassing of interlocks or removable stops, for verifying that interlocks are functional prior to crane use, and for verifying that interlocks are restored to o;erabilitv after opera-:+/-ons which require bypassing have been completed.


IEB 80-17 Sup. 4 December 18, 1980 Potential malfunction modes which are still of concern are: 1. The capability of the CMS to adequately determine level of water for the entire range of depths which may occur during slow and rapid fill condi-tions, that is, beam penetration capability.
(3) ;;here load/target cot 'inations are eli=-inated on the .%asis of other, si:e-s:ec-
4f"c censidera:ions (e.g.. =aintenance sequencing), provide present and/cr ;ro-posed technical specifications and dis-cuss ad--inistrative procedures or phvsi-cal cons:rain:s izvoked to ensure the validity of such considerations.


2. The potential for loss of transducer sensitivity during periods of rapid flow, or when the water being detected is turbulent or mixed with entrained air or steam bubbles.The ability of the CMS installed in your facility to operate in respect to these concerns should be considered in the preparation of your response to this bulletin.
--i- c. For interactions not eliminated by the analysis of 2.3-2-b. above, identif7 any handling systems for specific loads which you have evaluated as having sufficient
2esign features to =ake the likelihood of a load drop ex:re=e2y small and the basis for this evaluation (i.e., complete compliance witH NUREG 0612, SectiOn 3.l,, or partial cor=liance supplemented by suitable alternative or addition-al design features).
For each so evaluated, pro-vide the load-handling-system (i.e.. crane-load- combination)

For interactions not eli=inated in 2.3-2-b or 2.3-2-c, above, demonstrate using appropriate analysis that damage would not preclude operation of suffi-cient equipment to allow the system to perform its safety function following a load drop (KUM7J 0612.Section 5.1, Criterion IV). For each analysis so conducted, the following information should be provided: (1) An indication of whether or not, for the specific load baing investigated, the overhead crane-handling system is designed and constructed such that the hoisting system will retain its load in the event of seismic accelerations equivalent to those of a safe shutdown earthquake (SSE).(2) The basis for any exceptions taken to the analytical guidelines of NU.REG 0612, Ap-pendix A.(3) The information requested in Attachment

-IEB 80-17 Sup. 4 December 18, 1980 3. Interim Manual Surveillance In the interim 14-day period before the operability test is completed, perform a manual surveillance for the presence of water in the SDV at least once per shift and after each reactor scram. In order to provide assurance that manual surveillance can detect water accumulation in the SDV, verify that the method and the operator have been qualified by testing which uses or simulates the SDV piping and has the ability to detect different levels of water in the SDV.Surveillance of SDV manual measurement techniques should be done before completion of the operability test described in Item 2 above.4. Full Test of CMS to be Conducted During a Planned Outace During a planned outage within six months, perform a full CMS test using the SDV headers: (a) Admit water into the SDV to establish fill rates for several (not less than three) in-leakage flow rates. The in-leakage rates should range from approximately the minimum which results in water accumula-tion in the SDV to a full scram.(b) Establish and record the response of the CMS indication and alarm functions from the trip level to a full SDV. Provide criteria for replacement or adjustment when exceeding design specifications of the system.(c) Verify by independent measurement that the alarm initiates at the proper level setpoint.5. Operability of CMS During Reactor Operation The CMS shall be operable prior to reactor startup and during reactor operation.
if the assume:ions are noc con-seetva4-e for the pe: ific 7lant, or if a =cre site-specific analysis is required, the licensee shou! 2 identifv plant-s-ecific assumptions used in place cf those tab4lazed.


If the CMS becomes less than fully operable, within 8 hours perform a manual check for water in the SDV and institute procedures for a manual check of the SDV each shift and following scram until the CMS is fully operable.
c. Identify and provide the basis (e.e., VSNRC Regulatory Guide 1.25) for any assu=ptions employed in site-specific analyses not identified in KUREG 0612, Table 2.1-2.d. Dose calculations based on the termination or mi:iga:ion of radtolouical releases should be supported bv inf:--ra-tion sufficient tc demonstrate both that the ti=e ýelav assuzed is conserva:ive and that the syste-_ p:cvided to accomplish such termnna:ion or mitigation will :erform its safety function jpon demand (i.e.. tne system meets the criteria for an Engineered Safety Feature).
Specific infor-mation so proviced should include the follow:ng:
(1) Details concerning the loca:ion of accident sensors, parameters zonitcred and the values cf these parameters at which a safety signal will be initiated, sys:e= response t Ime (Including valve-operation time), and the total ti=e required to auto=atically shift fro= nor--al operation to isolation or filtra-tion following an accident.(2) A description of the ins:rumenta:ion and con-trols associated with the Engineered Safer: Feature which includes Infcrmation sufficien:

When not fully operable, the CMS should be used to the extent practical in addition to the manual checks.If the CMS is not operable within 7 days, the frequency of the manual check should be increased to once every 4 hours. If the CMS is not operable within 30 days the plant shall be shutdown.To demonstrate continued operability of the CMS during reactor operation, perform periodic surveillance tests for operability of the CMS. For these periodic surveillance tests, test as much of the CMS as practical during reactor operation without injecting water in the SDV. Establish criteria for repair or replacement when the system design criteria or estimated service life limitations are exceeded.

ANALYSIS The following information should be provided for analysis conducted to demon-strata compliance with Criterion II of NUMEG 0612, Section 5.1 1. INITIAL CON'DITIONS/ASSLWTIONS

The conclusions of NUR.G 0612, Section 2.2, are based on a particular model fuel assembly.

If a licensee uses the results of Section 2.2 rather than performing an independent neutronics analysis, the assump-tions should be verified to be compatible with plant-specific design.For any analysis conducted, the following assumptions should be provided as a minimum: a. Water/UO 2 volume ratio b. The boron concentration for the refueling water and spent-fuel pool c. The amount of neutron poison in the fuel d. Fuel enrichment e. The reactivity insertion value due to crushing of the core f. T-he kIfc value allowed by technical specifications for t~e core during refueling 2. .MTHOD OF ANALYSIS Provide the method of analysis used to dezonstrate that accidental dropping of& heavy load does not result in a configuration of the fuel such that keff is larger than 0.95. The discussion of the method of analysis should include the following infortation:

a. Identification of the computer codes employed b. A discussion of allowances or compensation for calculation and physical uncertainties

3. CONCLUSION

Prov.de an evaluation co=paring the results of the analysis to Criterion II of LKUREG 0612, Section 5.1. If the postulated heavy-load-drop accident 3-1 MM-,

bounds other postulated heavy-load drops, a list of these bo'--.ded heavy loads should be ;rovided.
