RO Docket No.: 50-305 License No.DPR-43 DOMINION ENERGY KEWAUNEE, INC.KEWAUNEE POWER STATION LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST 227 RELOCATION OF SPENT FUEL POOL CRANE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION TO TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS MANUAL Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc.(DEK)requests an amendment to Facility Operating License Number DPR-43 for Kewaunee Power Station (KPS).This amendment would modify the Technical Specification (TS)restricting handling or placement of heavy loads over or in the spent fuel pools and relocates the modified requirements to a licensee-controlled document, the KPS Technical Requirements Manual (TRM).The modification to the current TS is needed to facilitate future spent fuel cask handling activities in the KPS spent fuel pool.KPS is in the process of upgrading its Auxiliary Building (A B)crane, used for cask handling, to a single-failure-proof design, and constructing an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI)for on-site dry storage of spent nuclear fuel (NRC Docket No.72-064).Therefore, the site requires the capability to move spent fuel casks into and out of the spent fuel pool for fuel loading.DEK has determined that the proposed amendment involves a no significant hazards consideration.
This is because the AB crane upgrade provides adequate safety margins and associated commitments pertaining to heavy load control are consistent with the guidance provided in NRC NUREG 0612,"Control of Heavy Loads at Nuclear Power Plants," as described in Attachment 5.The TS being relocated does not meet the criteria of 10 CFR 50.36(d)(2)(ii),"Limiting Condition for Operation," for inclusion into TS.Therefore, relocating these requirements to the KPS TRM is justified.
Future changes to the relocated TRM requirements will be controlled under 10 CFR 50.59.The proposed amendment is also consistent with NUREG-1431,"Standard Technical Specifications Westinghouse Plants," Revision 3, dated June 2004, as standard TSs do not contain requirements for control of heavy loads.DEK requests expedited approval of the proposed amendment by May 30, 2008.Once approved, the amendment will be implemented within 60 days.DEK requests an expedited review because KPS will lose full core reserve (FCR)after the spring 2008 refueling outage.To recover FCR, DEK has constructed an ISFSI using the NUHOMS system.The cask loading area in the north spent fuel pool contains a spent fuel rack

Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 1 of 28 Relocation of Spent Fuel Pool Crane Technical Specification to Technical Requirements Manual
1.0 DESCRIPTION
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc.(DEK)requests an amendment to Facility Operating License DPR-43 for the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS).The proposed amendment would modify the language of the current Technical Specification (TS)governing the movement of heavy loads over and in the spent fuel pools and relocate the modified requirements to the KPS Technical Requirements Manual (TRM).The KP8 TRM will preserve the modified controls for heavy load movements over and in the spent fuel pool and ensure that any future changes to these requirements are controlled under 10 CFR 50.59.The proposed modification to the TS language is needed to facilitate spent fuel cask handling activities over and in the spent fuel pool.KPS is in the process of upgrading its Auxiliary Building (AB)crane, used for spent fuel cask handling, to a proof design, and constructing an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI)for on-site dry storage of spent fuel.Therefore, the site requires the capability to move spent fuel casks into and out of the spent fuel pool to facilitate dry spent fuel storage.The T8 being relocated to the KPS TRM does not meet the criteria of 10 CFR 50.36(d)(2)(ii),"Limiting Condition for Operation," for inclusion into T8 and therefore relocation is justified.
Future changes to the TRM requirements will be controlled under 10 CFR 50.59.The proposed amendment is also consistent with NUREG-1431,"Standard Technical Specifications Westinghouse Plants," Revision 3, dated June 2004 (reference 1).2.0 PROPOSED CHANGE The proposed amendment would modify and relocate the current KP8 T8 3.8.a.7, which is associated with the control of heavy loads over and in the spent fuel pool, to the TRM.Markups of the TS pages and the revised TS pages are contained in Attachments 2 and 3, respectively.
KP8 T8 3.8.a.7 currently states: 7.Heavy loads, greater than the weight of a fuel assembly, will not be transported over or placed in either spent fuel pool when spent fuel is stored in that pool.Placement of additional fuel storage racks is permitted, however, these racks may not traverse directly above spent fuel stored in the pools.
Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 2 of 28 The proposed amendment would modify TS 3.8.a.7 to state the following and then relocate the modified TS 3.8.a.7 to the TRM.7.Heavy loads greater than the weight of a fuel assembly, including its heaviest insert and handling tool, will not be transported over or placed in either spent fuel pool when spent fuel is stored in that pool, unless: a.The heavy load does not traverse directly above spent fuel stored in the pool's spent fuel storage racks, and b.The load handling system (e.g., crane, associated lifting devices, and interfacing lift points)used for these heavy load lifts meets thefailure-proof handling system criteria.After relocation of this TS to the TRM, the following required action will be added to the TRM (format and numbering will be adjusted to be consistent with the TRM convention):
If, during the movement of the heavy loads over or in the spent fuel pool, the load handling system is determined not to meettheapplicable single-failure-proof criteria, then immediately place the suspended load in a safe condition (no longer suspended over the spent fuel pool)and cease further movement over the spent fuel pool until the crane can be repaired or other appropriate corrective actions implemented to restore compliance.
DEK is in the process of replacing the AB crane trolley, controls, hoisting components and upgrading the existing AB crane bridge so that the crane meets the requirements for a single-failure-proof crane as described in NUREG-0612,"Control of Heavy Loads at Nuclear Power Plants" (reference 2), Section 5.1.6, and NUREG-0554,"Single Failure Proof Cranes for Nuclear Power Plants" (reference 3), as described in Attachments 5 and 6.Associated lifting devices and interfacing lift points will also meet the guidance in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6, as described in Attachment 5, to ensure the entire AB crane lifting system 1 may be considered single-failure-proof for lifts over or in the spent fuel pool.Once TS 3.8.a.7 is relocated to the TRM, the proposed amendment also requests to change TS 3.8.a.7 to state: 7.Deleted In summary, the proposed amendment would modify KPS TS 3.8.a.7 to incorporate the use of a single-failure-proof lifting system for handling of necessary heavy loads over or I The"AB crane lifting system" means the AB crane, associated lifting devices, and interfacing lift points, as defined in NUREG-0612.
Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 3 of 28 in the spent fuel pool with irradiated fuel in either the fuel storage racks or in theloaded spent fuel canister in the spent fuel pool.In no case will heavy loads (loads greater than the weight of a fuel assembly, including its heaviest insert and handling tool)be handled over irradiated fuel in the spent fuel storage racks.However, in order to install the spent fuel canister upper shield plug after fuel is loaded into the canister, heavy loads (i.e., the shield plug itself)must be suspended over the irradiated fuel in the canister for the time it takes to align and lower the shield plug into position on the canister.Once modified, the requirements of TS 3.8.a.7 would be relocated from the KPS TS to the KPS TRM.In addition, after approval of this amendment request, the cask drop accident will be removed from the KPS USAR as a design basis accident.Attachment 4 contains the proposed TRM pages to be implemented after NRC approval of the modification of the TS language and relocation of TS 3.8.a.7 to the KPS TRM.3.0 BACKGROUND DEK intends to complete construction and start operation of an ISFSI at the KPS site in the third quarter of 2008, under the general license provisions of 10 CFR 72, Subpart K (Docket No.72-064).DEK will be using the Transnuclear Standard NUHOMS@dry spent fuel storage system in accordance with 10 CFR 72 Certificate of Compliance (CoC)1004 and its associated Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR).The generic Standardized NUHOMS@System design requires the use of a transfer cask (TC)weighing up to 125 tonsduringcask handling operations in the AB.The actual weight of the transfer cask depends on, among other things, the TC and dry shielded canister (DSC)models chosen for use by the general licensee, and the fuel type to be loaded.At KPS, the maximum loaded weight for the TC/DSC assemblage suspended from the AB crane hook and lifting yoke is 105 tons.Use of the Standardized NUHOMS@System requires the lifting and movement of heavy loads over the spent fuel pool during cask handling operations.
Although movement of heavy loads over the spent fuel pool is required, the arrangement of the spent fuel cask loading pit and loading dock at KPS precludes the need to move heavy loads, including the TC, over irradiated fuel in the spent fuel racks during cask handling operations.
The KPS AB crane lifting system will be used to lift and move the TC between the cask loading pit in the spent fuel pool and the loading dock, and to lift and move other heavy loads necessary to use the spent fuel cask in accordance with its 10 CFR 72 CoC and FSAR.DEK has chosen to upgrade the AB crane lifting system to a single-failure-proof system to enhance the safety of heavy load handling in the spent fuel pool area atKPSand consequently to make a heavy load drop event sufficiently improbable that the lifting Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 4 of 28 system may be considered single-failure-proof, as defined in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6.Upgrading the AB crane system to a single-failure-proof system makes load drops while using this lifting system no longer considered credible.The existing AB crane isa125-ton capacity, non-single-failure-proof Whiting Corporation bridge and trolley design of late-1960s vintage.The AB crane is being upgraded to a proof crane by replacing the trolley and hoists with single-failure-proof designs, upgrading the crane controls, and modifying the existing bridge.Associated lifting devices and interfacing lift points will also meet the guidance in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6, as described in Attachment 5, in order to ensure that the entire AB crane lifting system is single-failure-proof for each heavy load lift made in or around the spent fuel pool.The design rated load and maximum critical load for the AB crane main hoist will remain 125 tons.3.1 Fuel Handling System Design and Operation 3.1.1 Spent Fuel Storage The spent fuel pool is a part of KPS's fuel handling system.The fuel handling system provides a safe and effective means of transporting and handling fuel from the time it reaches the plant in an un-irradiated condition until it leaves the plant afterirradiation cooling.The system is designed to minimize the possibility of mishandling that could cause fuel damage and potential fission-product release.The Fuel Handling System consists of:*The reactor refueling cavity,*The spent fuel pool, and*The fuel transfer system, including an underwater conveyor that transports fuel assemblies between the reactor refueling cavity and the spent fuel pool.The spent fuel pool is designed for the underwater storage of spent fuel assemblies, rod control cluster assemblies (RCCAs), burnable poison rod assemblies, and thimble plugs after their removal from the reactor.The spent fuel pool is divided into three storage compartments and a fuel transfer canal, as shown in KPS USAR Figure 9.5-2.Because the capacity of the spent fuel pool will be reached before plant operation ceases and the U.S.Department of Energy has not met their obligation to begin removing commercial reactor spent fuel from theoperatingplant sites, DEK has decided to implement on-site dry spent fuel storage under the general license provisions of 10 CFR 72, Subpart K.DEK has chosen the Transnuclear Standardized NUHOMS@dry spent fuel storage system for use at the future on-site ISFSI.ISFSI construction is underway and ISFSI operations are scheduled to commence in mid-2008, which will enable KPS to minimize the time that full core reserve fuel storage capability in the Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 5 of 28 spent fuel pool is lost.After the KPS 2008 refueling outage, full core offload capability will be lost until spent fuel is moved to the ISFSI.3.1.2 Overhead Load Handling Systems For handling spent fuel, two cranes are provided: the spent fuel pool bridge and the AB crane.The spent fuel pool bridge is a gantry crane spanning the spent fuel pool.The AB crane is a bridge-and-trolley type crane used for handling various loads, including spent fuel shipping and transfer casks.Fuel assemblies are moved within the spent fuel pool by using the spent fuel pool bridge crane while the AB crane is used for addition of new fuel and withdrawal of spent fuel.The spent fuel pool bridge has an electric monorail hoist on an overhead structure.
The fuel assemblies (new and spent)are moved within the spent fuel pool with the spent fuel pool bridge crane by means of a long-handled tool suspended from the hoist.The hoist travel and tool length are designed to limit the maximum lift of a fuel assembly to a safe shielding depth.The AB crane was originally designed, fabricated, and qualified in accordance with Electric Overhead Crane Institute (EOCI)Standard No.61, American National Standard Institute Standard B-30.2.0, 1967 Edition, and Pioneer Service and Engineering Company Standard Specification for Powerhouse Overhead Electrical Traveling Cranes.The AB crane trolley, hoisting components, and controls are being replaced with upgraded designs that meet the single-failure-proof guidance in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6, and NUREG-0554, as described in Attachments 5 and 6.Operation of the entire AB crane lifting system will conform totheguidance in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6, as described in Attachment 5, to ensure the dropping of a suspended spent fuel transfer cask remains a very improbable event.The existing AB crane design includes an interlock system employing mechanical limit switches that precludes the trolley passing over irradiated fuel stored in the spent fuel storage racks and safe shutdown equipment.
Redundant limit switches are furnished to ensure that the exclusion area is not inadvertently traversed by the malfunction of a single limit switch.Thus, interlocks on the AB crane prevent the transport of heavy loads, such as spent fuel transfer and shipping casks, over the spent fuel racks in the spent fuel pool or canal pool.An override feature is provided to administratively allow free movement of the trolley when spent fuel is not stored in the pool or with no load on the AB crane hook.The override is achieved by the use of a key lock switch and the key is under the control of the shift manager.In addition, KPS has administrative procedural controls in place limiting the operation of the AB crane by providing safe load paths, pre-designated pathways or areas in which heavy loads can be safely handled, and requiring personnel operating or directing the Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 6 of 28 crane operator to have completed applicable training in accordance with ASME B30.2 (reference 4).3.2 Regulatory History 3.2.1 NRC and Industry Communication Pertaining to Heavy Load Control In July 1980, the NRC issued NUREG-0612,"Control of Heavy Loads at Nuclear Power Plants." By letter dated December 22, 1980, the NRC issued an un-numbered generic letter (reference 5)to the industry stating that the staff had completed its review of Unresolved Safety Issue Task No.A-36,"Control of Heavy Loads Near Spent Fuel." Licensees were requested to implement specific interim actions within 90 days.Licensees were also required to submit review results for certain items identified in the letter within six months (Phase I)and within nine months (Phase II).During the NRC's review of KPS's implementation of Phase I of this issue, numerous letters were exchanged between the NRC and the KPS licensee.The NRC determined that implementation of Phase I for KPSwasacceptable as stated in their safety evaluation dated March 16, 1984 (reference 7).On June 28, 1985, the NRC issued Generic Letter 85-11,"Completion of Phase II of Control of Heavy Loads at Nuclear Power Plants, NUREG 0612." Generic Letter 85-11 closed out Phase II of the Control of Heavy Loads issue.Since that time, KPS has implemented its heavy load control program using procedures consistent with its operating license and commitments made in its responses to the generic letters related to NUREG-0612.
In response to a recommendation made by the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS), the NRC staff issued Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS)2005-25,"Clarification of NRC Guidelines on Control of Heavy Loads," in October, 2005.The NRC supplemented RIS 2005-25 in May 2007 (reference 6).RIS 2005-25 did not require a response from licensees.
However, licensees were expected to review the RIS and consider what actions may be appropriate to enhance their heavy load control programs, if any.The guidance in NUREG-0612, as clarified in RIS 2005-25, was used as the regulatory basis for the upgrade to the AB crane, as described in further detail below and in the matrix in Attachment 5.Augmented guidance was issued in RIS25, Supplement 1 after the AB crane upgrade project was underway, and was considered to the extent practicable.
Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 7 of 28 3.2.2 Summary of NUREG-0612 Applicability to KPS NUREG-0612, Sections 5.1 and 5.1.1, provide general guidelines for heavy load handling and are applicable to all U.S.commercial operating nuclear power plants, including KPS.These sections of NUREG-0612 address items such as load drop analysis acceptance criteria, operator training and qualification, equipment reliability and inspection, safe load paths, crane travel limiting devices, procedures, lifting devices, and cranes.This section of NUREG-0612 is considered Phase I.NUREG 0612, Section 5.1.2,"Spent Fuel Pool Area-PWR," is also applicable to KPS and contains four alternate guidelines for heavy load handling in the spent fuel pool area, one of which should be satisfied.
The first guideline recommends satisfying the single-failure-proof criteria of NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6 for the overhead crane and associated lifting devices.The second and third guidelines involve implementing design features and administrative controls for non-single-failure-proof lifting systems to minimize the potential for a heavy load drop onto spent fuel in the spent fuel pool or equipment required for safe shutdown.The fourth guideline involves analyzing the effects of heavy load drops if the lifting system is not single-failure-proof and showing that the evaluation acceptance criteria of NUREG-0612, Section 5.1 are satisfied.
NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.2, is considered part of Phase II and is also included in the matrix in Attachment 5.NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.3,"Containment Building-PWR," does not apply because this LAR only addresses heavy load lifts in the spent fuel pool area of the auxiliary building, which is separate from the containment building at KPS.NUREG-0612, 5.1.4,"Reactor Building-BWR," does not apply because KPS is a PWR plant.NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.5,"Other Areas" does not apply because this LAR only addresses heavy load lifts in the spent fuel pool area of the auxiliary building, which is separate from"other areas" (areas of the plant where a dropped loadmaydamage safe shutdown equipment).
Therefore, these sections of NUREG-0612 are not discussed further.These sections are also considered part of NUREG-0612, Phase II.NUREG 0612, Section 5.1.6,"Single-Failure-Proof Handling Systems," may be used to meet the guidelines of Sections5.1.2,5.1.3,5.1.4, or 5.1.5 where the alternative of upgrading the crane and lifting devices is chosen.This alternative has been chosen to meet the guidelines contained in Section 5.1.2 for the handling of spent fuel casks at KPS.NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6, is considered part of Phase II and is included in the matrix in Attachment 6.Only the sections of NUREG-0612 applicable to KPS as described above, and the AB crane lifting system are germane to this LAR.A discussion of how the KPS upgraded AB crane lifting system meets the applicable guidance in NUREG-0612 is provided below and in Attachment
- 5.
Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 8 of 28 3.3 Applicability of NUREG-0612 to Upgraded AS Crane Lifting System DEK has chosen to update its commitments regarding heavy load control in the spent fuel pool area.DEK will now satisfy the first guideline of NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.2 for heavy load handling using the AB crane lifting system by upgrading the AB crane to a single-failure-proof design in accordance with NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6, and committing to meet the other portions of NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6 pertaining to lifting devices and interfacing lift points.NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6 refers to NUREG-0554 for guidance on the design and operation of single-failure-proof cranes.The scope of the AB crane upgrade involves replacement of the crane trolley and hoist components, and upgrading of the crane controls to current standards.
The AB crane bridge will not be replaced, but will be modified to increase its structural strength and re-used with the new trolley.Attachment 6 to this lAR provides an item-by-item compliance matrix of the guidance in NUREG-0554 against the upgraded AB crane design.Lifting devices and interfacing lift points used with the AB crane will meet the guidance in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6, as described in Attachment 5 and 6, for the maximum critical lift (MCl)to ensure the entire lifting system may be considered proof for the MCl lift.The MCl for the AB crane is the NUHOMS@transfer cask containing a canister loaded with spent fuel.One AB crane heavy load lift has been identified that will not meet the NUREG-0612 guidance for interfacing lift points.This exception, and why it does not impact the basis for this lAR is discussed in further detail in Section 4.4.3.Attachment 5 to this lAR provides an item-by-item compliance matrix oftheguidance in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6, applicable to lifting devices and interfacing lift points (as augmented by RIS 2005-25, as supplemented) against the components to be used for spent fuel cask handling operations.
3.4 NUREG-0612 Interpretation Change In February of 1990, KPS staff agreed to a NUREG-0612 interpretation whereby the AB crane main hook and load block assembly would conservatively be considered a heavy load, even though these components are included in the NUREG-0612 definition of the load handling system (reference 21).Based on DEK upgrading the AB crane to be single-failure-proof, dropping of the AB crane main hook or load block is no longer considered credible.Because dropping of these components is not considered credible, the conservative interpretation of these components being heavy loads is no longer necessary and hereby withdrawn.
Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 9 of 28 4.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS DEK is constructing, and plans to operate an ISFSI on the KPS site under the general license provision of 10 CFR 72, Subpart K to provide additional required spent fuel storage capacity.DEK has chosen the Transnuclear Standardized NUHOMS@Dry Spent Fuel Storage System for use at the KPS ISFSI.Moving spent fuel into dry storage from the spent fuel pool requires the handling of a spent fuel dry shielded canister (DSC)inside a spent fuel transfer cask (TC)over and nearby the KPS spent fuel pool and truck bay.There are several different DSC and TC designs available for use as part of the generic Standardized NUHOMS@System.The licensee users choose the DSC and TC design that suits theirplant'sneeds and capabilities.
The maximum loaded weight of any TC used with the generically-designed Standardized NUHOMS system is 125 tons.The actual weight of the loaded TC used at a particular licensee's site depends, among other things, on the TC and DSC models chosen for use, and the fuel type.The TC and DSC models to be used at KPS have a maximum combined loaded weight of 105 tons.Therefore, the125-tondesign rated load for the AB crane provides additional safety margin for lifts of the 1 OS-ton TC.The spent fuel cask operating procedures also require handling of other heavy loads over and nearby the spent fuel pool to load and prepare the canister for storage operations in accordance with its CoC and FSAR.Some of these heavy loads (i.e., the DSC top shield plug)must necessarily be suspended, for short periods of time, over the irradiated fuel in the spent fuel canister while installing the shield plug into the canister.A review of the KPS Part 50 technical specifications with respect to the equipment and operating procedures for the Standardized NUHOMS@System revealed that a license amendment was required to permit the heavy load movements necessary to implement dry spent fuel storage in the Part 50 facility.4.1 Modification of TS 3.B.a.7 Current KPS TS 3.8.a.7, as shown in Section 2.0 above, does not allow for the placement and handling of spent fuel casks or other heavy loads in or around the spent fuel pool with irradiated fuel in either the main spent fuel pool or the canal pool.Because there is spent fuel in the spent fuel pool that cannot be moved elsewhere, dry spent fuel cask handling operations cannot be implemented at KPS with the current TS in place.However, with TS 3.8.a.7 modified as requested herein, cask-handling operations would be permitted.
Furthermore, with the AB crane lifting system upgraded to a single-failure-proof design, the cask drop accident may be removed from the KPS licensing basis.With this change to the licensing basis for design basis accidents, KPS TS 3.8.a.7 no longer meets any of the criteria in 10 CFR 50.36(d)(2)(ii).
Therefore, TS 3.8.a.7 is proposed to be revised as stated in Section 2.0 above and re-Iocated to the TRM.
Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 10 of 28 The sections below discuss KPS's licensing basis as it relates to each applicable subsection of NUREG-0612.
4.2 NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.1,"General" By letter dated March 16, 1984, (reference 7)the NRC issued asafetyevaluation report (SER)to KPS concerning Phase I of the Control of Heavy Loads issue.In this SER the NRC stated: "Based on our review and that of our consultant, the Franklin Research Center, we have concluded that the guidelines of NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.1 and 5.3 have been satisfied and the Phase I of this issue for KPS is acceptable." This SER confirms that KPS met the guidelines contained in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.1 in 1984.Attachment 5 provides an updated compliance matrix to confirm that KPS continues to meet the criteria in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.1, as clarified in RIS 2005-25, as it pertains to the AB crane lifting system.The matrix in Attachment 5 includes consideration of the heavy load handling equipment and activities required for dry spent fuel cask handling operations, which were not considered at the time the original KPS NUREG-0612-related correspondence with the NRC took place in the 1980's.4.3 NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.2,"Spent Fuel Pool Area-PWR" NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.2, states that, to provide assurance that the evaluation criteria of Section 5.1,"Recommended Guidelines," are met for load handling operations in the spent fuel pool area, in addition to satisfying the guidelines of Section 5.1.1,"General," one of the four guidelines listed in Section 5.1.2 should also be satisfied.
KPS's NUREG-0612-related responses to the NRC regarding cask handling in the early 1980s exclusively addressed shipping casks and stated, based on the spent fuel pool's capacity,"no spent fuel cask handling operations are planned or anticipated
..." The response further stated,"A detailed analysis of the consequences of an accidental drop of a spent fuel shipping cask will be made and procedures will be written prior to first use of a cask." However, since that time DEK has modified its position in this regard to take a more conservative approach.Rather than postulate and analyze cask drop events, DEK has decided to upgrade its cask handling lifting system to proof and make the cask drop event so improbable that it may be consideredcredible and eliminated from the KPS licensing basis as a design basis event.DEK has now chosen to satisfy NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.2, Guideline (1)for the AB crane lifting system as discussed in Section 3.2 above.This guideline states:
Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 11 of 28"(1)The overhead crane and associated lifting devices used for handling heavy loads in the spent fuel pool area should satisfy the single-failure-proof guidelines of Section 5.1.6 of this report." Section 4.4 below discusses KPS's compliance with NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6, as augmented by RIS 2005-25.4.4 NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6,"Single-Failure-Proof Handling Systems" NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6 provides guidelines addressing the alternative of upgrading the heavy load handling system.These guidelines address lifting devices, cranes (new and upgraded), and interfacing lift points.Each of these three areas is addressed separately below.4.4.1 AS Crane System Lifting Devices NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6, Guideline (1)has two sub-items: (a)special lifting devices, and (b)lifting devices that are not specially designed.4.4.1.1 AS Crane System Special Lifting Devices For special lifting devices NUREG-0612, Guideline (1)(a)states: "(a)Special lifting devices that are used for heavy loads in the area where the crane is to be upgraded should meet ANSI N14.6 1978,"Standard For Special Lifting Devices for Shipping Containers Weighing 10,000 Pounds (4500 kg)or More For Nuclear Materials," as specified in Section 5.1.1 (4)of this report except that the handling device should also comply with Section 6 of ANSI N14.6-1978.
If only a single lifting device is provided instead of dual devices, the special lifting device should have twice the design safety factor as required to satisfy the guidelines of Section 5.1.1 (4).However, loads that have been evaluated and shown to satisfy the evaluation criteria of Section 5.1 need not have lifting devices that also comply with Section 6 of ANSI N14.6." RIS 2005-25, Supplement 1 augments the NUREG-0612 guidance on special lifting devices in single-failure-proof handling systems as follows: "(1)A special lifting device that satisfies American National Standard Institute (ANSI)N14.6-1993,"Radioactive Materials-Special Lifting Devices for Shipping Containers Weighing 10,000 Pounds (4,500 kg)or More," should be used for recurrent load movements in critical areas (i.e., reactor heads, reactor vessel internals, spent fuel casks).The lifting device should have either dual, Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 12 of 28 independent load paths or a single load patll with twice the design safety factor specified by ANSI N14.6 for the load.KPS Position: All components meeting the ANSI N14.6 (reference 8)definition of"special lifting device" and used with the AS crane lifting system to lift heavy loads in the area where the crane is to be upgraded will meet the guidance in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6, Guideline 1 (a)and ANSI N14.6-1993.
As an example, whenever the DSC is situated inside the TC (e.g., after the DSC is loaded with spent fuel), the assemblage will be lifted with a lifting yoke attached to the AS crane main hook and engaged with the lifting trunnions on the TC.The lifting yoke is considered a special lifting device and meets the applicable guidance of ANSI N 14.6-1993.
Therefore, this special lifting device meets the guidance in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.5(1)(a)for heavy load lifts.The KPS heavy load control program and procedures ensure that all special lifting devices used for heavy load lifts in or over the spent fuel pool meet the guidance in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6.(1)(a) and ANSI N14.6-1993 to preserve the proof designation of the AS crane lifting system.4.4.1.2 AS Crane System Lifting Devices Not Specially Designed For lifting devices that are not specially designed, NUREG-0612, Guideline (1)(b)states: "(b)Lifting devices that are not specially designed and that are used for handling heavy loads in the area where the crane is to be upgraded should meet ANSI 830.9-1971,"Slings" as specified in Section 5.1.1(5)of this report, except that one of the following should also be satisfied unless the effects of a drop of the particular load have been analyzed and shown to satisfy the evaluation criteria of Section 5.1: (i)Provide dual or redundant slings or lifting devices such that a single component failure or malfunction in the sling will not result in uncontrolled lowering of the load;OR (ii)In selecting the proper sling, the load used should be twice what is called for in meeting Section 5.1.1 (5)of this report." 2 As used in this context, a"load path" is defined as the collection of load-bearing members in which the induced stress is directly affected by the weight of the load connected to it.This is not to be confused with"safe load paths" as discussed in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.1.
Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 13 of 28 RIS 2005-25, Supplement 1 augments the NUREG-0612 guidance on lifting devices not specially designed in single-failure-proof handling systems as follows: "(2)Slings should satisfy the criteria of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)830.9-2003,"Slings," and be constructed of metallic material (chain or wire rope).The slings should be either (a)configured to provide dual or redundant load paths or (b)selected to support a load twice the weight of the handled load." KPS Position: When the DSC is inside the TC, the assemblage will be lifted with a lifting yoke attached to the AB crane main hook and lifting trunnions on the TC.The lifting yoke is considered a special lifting device and is addressed in Section 4.4.1.1 above.There are no intervening lifting devices between the crane hook and the TC lifting trunnions other than the lifting yoke.Therefore, Guideline 1 (b)does not apply to TC lifts.The KPS heavy load control program and procedures ensure that all lifting devices not"specially designed" and used for heavy load lifts in or over the spent fuel pool meet the guidance in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6.(1)(b)and ASME B30.9-2003 (reference 9)to preserve the single-failure-proof designation of the AB crane lifting system.With regard to the RIS2005-25guidance recommending not using synthetic slings for heavy load lifts, KPS may use slings made of metallic or synthetic material in making heavy load lifts with the AB crane system, based on the nature of the lift and the lifting location.If synthetic slings are used,therigging of those slings will be controlled by procedure to avoid the types of sling failure modes described in RIS 2005-25.4.4.2 Upgraded AS Crane NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6, Guideline (2)states: "New cranes should be designed to meet NUREG-0554,"Single-Failure-Proof Cranes For Nuclear Power Plants." For operating plants or plants under construction, the crane should be upgraded in accordance with the implementation guidelines of Appendix C of this report." RIS 2005-25, Attachment 1, Section B.2 provides NRCguidanceapplicable to upgrades of existing cranes to single-failure-proof in two major areas: 1.Evaluation of existing crane bridges;specifically, cold proof testing of the crane and heat treatment and non-destructive examination (NDE)of crane bridge welds, and; Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 14 of 28 2.Seismic evaluation of crane structures.
KPS Position: The guidance in NUREG-0612 and NUREG-0554, as augmented by RIS 2005-25 (as supplemented), has been used in the AS crane upgrade project.The AS crane upgrade includes removing the existing trolley from the bridge and replacing it with an upgraded trolley and provided upgraded controls that meet the single-failure-proof guidance of NUREG-0554 and NUREG-0612.
This upgrade includes both the AS crane main and auxiliary hoisting systems.The existing bridge will be upgraded by the addition of stiffener plates to strengthen the bridge girder to end tie connection, and re-used.Attachment 6 provides and item-by-item compliance matrix describing how the upgraded AS crane meets the above guidance.The seismic analysis of the upgraded crane meets the criteria in the design codes applicable to the projects and the guidance in RIS 2005-25.Additional details on the seismic analysis of the upgraded crane may be found in a recently submitted DEK license amendment request on that topic (reference 20).4.4.3 AS Crane System Interfacing Lift Points NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6, Guideline (3)states: "Interfacing lift points such as lifting lugs or cask trunnions should also meet one of the following for heavy loads handled in the area where the crane is to be upgraded unless the effects of a drop of the particular load have been evaluated and shown to satisfy the evaluation criteria of Section 5.1: (a)Provide redundancy or duality such that a single lift point failure will not result in uncontrolled lowering of the load;lift points should have a design safety factor with respect to ultimate strength of five (5)times the maximum combined concurrent static and dynamic load after taking the single lift point failure.OR (b)A non-redundant or non-dual lift point system should have a design safety factor of ten (10)times the maximum combined concurrent static and dynamic load."
Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 15 of 28 KPS Position: When the DSC is inside the TC, it is lifted with a lifting yoke attached to the AB crane main hook and lifting trunnions on the TC.The TC lifting trunnions are consideredredundant, dual interfacing lift points.The as 197H TC lifting trunnions are designed with safety factors of 6: 1 on yield stress and 10: 1 on ultimate stress for a design rated load of 125 tons.These lifting trunnions meet the safety factor recommended in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6(3)for non-redundant interfacing lift points in proof lifting systems.The design rated load of 125 tons for the as 197H TC lifting trunnions also exceeds the design maximum TC weight for KPS of 105 tons, providing additional safety margin.The lifting lugs attached to the inside of the DSC shell, which are interfacing lift points used when the empty DSC is lifted for insertion into the TC, do not meet the0612, Section 5.1.6(3)design guidance for interfacing lifting points.This operation is conducted in the loading dock area of the Auxiliary Building, where there is noshutdown equipment in the vicinity or under the loading dock floor.Therefore, a drop of the empty DSC would have no adverse consequences on KPS operation, the ability to safely shut down the plant, or the ability to maintain safe shutdown conditions.
To preserve the single-failure-proof designation of the lifting system for the lift, the KPS heavy load control program and procedures ensurethatthe interfacing lift points for the lifted load are designed in accordance with NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6(3), for each heavy load lift in or over the spent fuel pool.In general, any heavy load lifted by the AB crane system with interfacing lift points not designed in accordance with NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6(3), will be performed in a location where the consequences of a load drop are acceptable (see Attachment 5).4.5 Summary of Upgraded AB Crane Lifting System Compliance with Regulatory Guidance Through the implementation of crane upgrades, physical controls, administrative controls, training, operations, and maintenance, KPS meets the guidelines contained in NUREG 0612, Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.2 and 5.1.6, as augmented by RIS 2005-25 for the AB crane lifting system.Attachments 5 and 6 provide item-by-item NUREG-0612 and NUREG-0554 compliance matrixes for the upgraded KPS AB overhead crane and heavy load handling system.4.6 Post Single-Failure-Proof Auxiliary Building Crane Operation The modification to upgrade the AB crane to single-failure-proof will also change the operation of the crane by providing three modes of operation: "Normal,""New Fuel Handling," and"Cask Handling." Additionally, the crane upgrade will change the way Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 16 of 28 the travel limits are sensed from mechanical limit switches to a laser positioning system.Post single-failure-proof AS crane"Normal" operation will still maintain the current travel limit restrictions.
Additionally, KPS administrative procedures restrict movement of heavy loads within a critical area surrounding the spent fuel pool or the surrounding area when spent fuel is stored in the transfer canal.When the AS crane is in use outside of the spent fuel pool critical area the crane is restricted to operation only in the"Normal" mode.To enter the critical area surrounding the spent fuel pool, the AS crane must be operated in the"New Fuel" or"Cask Handling" mode.The"New Fuel" mode allows the crane to enter the area above the new fuel pit and over the transfer canal but still prevents movement of the suspended load above the spent fuel poolincludingthe area of the transfer canal where spent fuel can be stored.To insert a spent fuel cask into the area of the spent fuel pool designated for cask handling, the AS crane must be operated in the"Cask Handling" mode.The"Cask Handling" mode still maintains interlocks that prevent the load from traveling over spent fuel stored in the spent fuel pool but allows movement of the crane over the spent fuel pool area designated for cask handling.4.7 Relocation of TS 3.8.a.7 to the Technical Requirements Manual In February 1987, the NRC published an interim policy statement on TS improvements for nuclear power reactors (reference 10).This policy statement established a specific set of criteria for determining which regulatory requirements and operating restrictions should be included in TS.In November 1987, the Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG)published WCAP-11618 (reference 11), in which the criteria contained in the interim policy statement were applied to standard Westinghouse TS to determine whether individual technical specifications should be removed and relocated to licensee controlled documents.
As documented in WCAP-11618, the WOG determined that the requirements of standard Westinghouse TS 3/4.9.6 and TS 3/4.9.7 (requirements similar to KPS TS 3.8.a.7)were among those that could be relocated to another controlled document.In a May 1988 letter (reference 12), the NRC published its conclusions regarding the WOG determinations documented in WCAP-11618.
The letter documented NRC agreement with the WOG conclusions regarding relocation of TS 3/4.9.6 and TS 3/4.9.7 to other licensee controlled documents.
In July 1993, the NRC published its Final Policy Statement on TS improvements (reference 13).This policy statement provided four specific criteria for determining which design features and information should be located in the TS as LCOs.These four criteria were very similar to the criteria published in the Interim Policy Statement.
The four criteria provided by the Final Policy Statement are as follows: 1.Installed instrumentation that is used to detect, and indicate in the control room, a significant abnormal degradation of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.
Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 17 of 28 2.A process variable, design feature, or operating restriction that is an initial condition of a design basis accident or transient analysis that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.3.A structure, system, or component that is part of the primary success path and which functions or actuates to mitigate a design basis accident or transient that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.4.A structure, system, or component which operating experience or probabilistic risk assessment has shown to be significant to public health and safety.The Final Policy Statement noted that those LCOs that do not meet any of the four criteria may be proposed for removal from the TS and relocated to a licensee-controlled document, such as the USAR.The Policy Statement also noted that licensees submitting amendment requests should identify the location and controls for the relocated requirements.
The four criteria provided in the Final Policy Statement were subsequently codified in 10 CFR 50.36(d)(2)(ii).
The Final Policy Statement alsoencouragedlicensees to implement a voluntary update program of their Technical Specifications to be consistent with the Standard Technical Specifications (e.g., NUREG-1431 for Westinghouse plants)(reference 1).The four 10 CFR 50.36 criteria provide a basis for relocating requirements from the Technical Specifications to other licensee-controlleddocuments,provided the requirements meet none of the four criteria.Provided below is an evaluation of the requirements of KPS TS 3.8.a.7 against the four criteria defined in the NRC's Final Policy Statement and 10 CFR 50.36(d)(2)(ii).
TS 3.8.a.7 prohibits loads greater than the weight of a fuel assembly from being transported over or placed in either spent fuel pool when spent fuel is stored in that pool.Specific exceptions are provided for installation or movement of spent fuel storage racks, spent fuel casks, and heavy loads associated with spent fuel cask handling operations, under certain circumstances.
Evaluation against 10 CFR 50.36(d)(2)(ii) criteria: 1.Installed instrumentation that is used to detect, and indicate in the control room, a significant abnormal degradation of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.Evaluation:
The intent of this criterion is to ensure instrumentation that could detect a loss of coolant accident is included in TS.The spent fuel pool is not part of the reactor coolant pressure boundary under normal operating conditions.
Prohibiting loads greater than the weight of a fuel Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 18 of 28 assembly from traveling over fuel assemblies in the spent fuel storage pool does not involve or otherwise affect installed instrumentation that is used to detect or indicate in the control room a significant abnormal degradation of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.Therefore, this criterion does not apply.2.A process variable, design feature, or operating restriction that is an initial condition of a design basis accident or transient analysis that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.Evaluation:
The design basis accident or transient of concern that pertains to the spent fuel pool is a fuel handing accident, considered a Condition IV event.Condition IV occurrences are faults that are not expected to occur but are postulated because their consequences would include the potential for the release of significant amounts of radioactive material.The KPS Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR)section 14.2.1,"Fuel Handling Accidents," describes this design basis accident.This accident analysis has been reviewed and approved by the NRC as described in the NRC's safety evaluation dated March 8, 2007 (reference 14).In USAR Section 14.2.1, it states that the following fuel handling accidents are evaluated to ensure that no hazards are created: a.A fuel assembly becomes stuck inside the reactor vessel.b.A fuel assembly or Rod Cluster Control Assembly (RCCA)is dropped onto the floor of the reactor refueling cavity or spent fuel pool.c.A fuel assembly becomes stuck in the penetration valve.d.A fuelassemblybecomes stuck in the transfer tube or the carriage becomes stuck.In USAR Section 14.2.1 under"Causes and Assumptions" the following statement is made: "Crane facilities do not permit the handling of heavy objects, such as a spent fuel-shipping container, over the spent fuel storage area.A detailed description of crane movement limitations appears in Section 9.5."
Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 19 of 28 KPS TS 3.8.a.7 prohibits loads greater than the weight of a fuel assembly from being transported over or placed in either spent fuel pool when spent fuel is stored in that pool.Design features and operating restrictions are in place to prevent dropping a load on racks containing irradiated fuel that is stored in the spent fuel pool.10 CFR 50.36(d)(2)(ii)
Criterion 2 requires that design features or operating restrictions that are an initial condition of a design basis accident or transient analysis that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier have limiting conditions for operation of a nuclearreactorestablished.
The initial condition of the design basis fuel handling accident is the dropping of a single fuel assembly.Therefore, the prohibiting of loads greater than the weight of a fuel assembly from traveling over fuel assemblies in the spent fuel storage pool is provided to prevent operation in a condition that could potentially lead to an unanalyzed load drop accident.DEK has initiated modifications to upgrade the Auxiliary Building crane to meet the guidance for a single-failure-proof crane.The crane will be designed, fabricated, installed, and tested to the guidance of0554 in accordance with the guidance in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6.In addition, the modified crane will be load-tested to 156.25 tons (125%of the maximum critical load or design rated load).When these modifications are complete, the AB crane will meet the applicable guidance for a single-failure-proof crane, as described in Attachment 6.The AB crane upgrade, combined with implementation of the0612 guidelines applicable to lifting devices and interfacing lift points, will permit designating the AB crane lifting system as proof lifting system, as defined in NUREG-0612.
The AB crane modifications are scheduled for completion in December of 2007.Once the crane modifications are complete (including NRC approval of DEK LAR 234 for the AB crane seismic analysis)and administrative and design controls are in place to ensure the remainder of the lifting system meets the single-failure-proof guidance, DEK intends to revise the USAR to remove the cask-drop accident from the licensing basis.With the cask-drop accident removed from the licensing basis, Criterion 2 of 10 CFR 50.36 no longer applies to heavy load handling in the spent fuel pool, and the crane load limits may be relocated from the TS to the TRM, a document incorporated by reference in the USAR.Because it is incorporated by reference in the USAR, changes to the TRM are controlled under the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59.
Serial No.0?-0352 License Amendment Request 22?Attachment 1 Page 20 of 28 When the modifications to make the AB crane single-failure proof are complete and administrative and design controls are in place to ensure the remainder of the lifting system meets the single-failure-proof guidance, DEK will inform the NRC staff.3.A structure, system, or component that is part of the primary success path and which functions or actuates to mitigate a design basis accident or transient that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.Evaluation:
The load and impact energy limits and the crane travel interlocks are not part of the primary success path to mitigate the consequences of adesignbasis accident or transient described in the KPS USAR.The AB crane lifting system serves no design basis accident mitigative function.4.A structure, system, or component which operating experience or probabilistic risk assessment has shown to be significant to public health and safety.Evaluation:
As summarized in Appendix A to WCAP-11618, TS similar to KPS TS 3.8.a.?were determined not to be risk significant based on core melt and health effects screening criteria.Although included in KPS's Maintenance Rule Program as a function providing the capability for movement of heavy loads into and across the spent fuel storage pool, it has been determined to not be a function with risk significance.
The components associated with TS 3.8.a.?were not evaluated as risk contributors in the KPS Integrated Plant Examination.
Based on the above, once the AB crane modification is complete, the design features and information in T8 3.8.a.7 will not meet the criteria in 10 CFR 50.36(d)(2)(ii)for inclusion as a TS LCO and therefore may be relocated to the KPS Technical Requirements Manual.The relocation of TS 3.8.a.?to the TRM is also consistent with NUREG-1431,"Standard Technical Specifications
-Westinghouse Plants." NUREG 1431 does not include any specifications similar to TS 3.8.a.?Therefore, relocation of the requirements of TS 3.8.a.?is consistent with both past and current regulatory positions and requirements.
Included in the current KPS TS is a required action to be taken if the requirements of the current T8 3.8.a.?are not met.This required action is TS 3.8.b, which states: If any of the specified limiting conditions for REFUELING OPERA nONS are not met, refueling of the reactor shall cease.Work shall be initiated to correct the Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 21 of 28 violated conditions so that the specified limits are met, and no operations which may increase the reactivity of the core shall be performed.
Because the TS proposed to be relocated to the KPS TRM is not associated with"Refueling Operations," DEK plans to add appropriate required actions to the TRM.These planned required actions are included in the draft TRM pages in Attachment
4.4.8 Precedent
Licensing Actions Some licensing precedents for similar administrative changes to relocate spentrelated crane technical specifications include:*St Lucie Units 1 and 2 received a license amendment on April 28, 2004, approving relocation of spent fuel pool crane technical specifications requirements (reference 15).This amendment implemented an administrative change to relocate certain technical specification requirements regarding the spent fuel and cask handling cranes to the respective units'Updated Final Safety Analysis Report.This was found acceptable because: o At the time of the initial submittal, the requirements did not meet 10 CFR 50.36(d)(2)(ii), Criteria 1,3, and 4, and subsequently, o When new single-failure proof cranes were installed and the cask-drop accident was removed from the St Lucie licensing basis, 10 CFR 50.36(d)(2)(ii), Criterion 2 no longer applied.*Beaver Valley Units 1 and 2 received a license amendment in 2000 to relocate technical specification requirements for their Spent Fuel Storage Pool Building Crane to another licensee-controlled document (reference 16).*D.C.Cook Units 1 and 2 received a license amendment on April 18, 2002 to relocate two technical specifications for cranes related to Refueling Operations.(reference 17).*Hope Creek received a license amendment on January 17, 2002, to relocate TS 3/4.9.6,"Refueling Operations, Refueling Platform," TS 3/4.9.7,"Refueling Operations, Crane Travel-Spent Fuel Storage Pool," and the associated Bases, to the plant's UFSAR (reference 18).*Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit 2 received a license amendment February 10, 2000 to relocate TS 3/4.9.6,"Refueling Operations, Crane Containment Building," TS 3/4.9.7,"Refueling Operations, Crane Travel-Spent Fuel Storage Building," and the associated Bases, to the plant's Technical Requirements Manual (reference 19).
Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 22 of 28 5.0 REGULATORY SAFETY ANALYSIS 5.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration Dominion Energy KPS, Inc.has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendment(s) by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92,"Issuance of amendment," as discussed below: 1.Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
No.The proposed amendment revises Kewaunee Power Station (KPS)heavy load handling Technical Specification (TS)3.8.a.7 requirements consistent with modifications to the Auxiliary Building (AB)crane and the NRC's current guidance for single-failure-proof lifting systems.The proposed amendment also relocates the affected heavy load handling-related TS to acontrolled document, consistent with the NRC's regulations.
Theproposedchange to TS 3.8.a.7 permits spent fuel cask handling in the spent fuel pool, which is required for loading spent fuel for dry storage at the on-site Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI).Proposed TS 3.8.a.7 includes a new requirement that the AB crane and associated lifting devices meet the applicable single-failure-proof criteria.Heavy load handling will continue to be conducted in accordance with the KPS heavy load handling program, which meets the NRC's guidance in NUREG-0612, as described in this LAR, and as augmented by Regulatory Information Summary 2005-25.With the upgrade of the AB crane load handling system, drops of heavy loads will not be considered credible.Notwithstanding the AB crane upgrade, heavy loads will still be prohibited from being suspended over irradiated fuel in the spent fuel pool storage racks under the revised requirements.
The previously evaluated cask drop accident is not considered credible with the upgraded AB crane because the crane trolley is being upgraded to a single-failure-proof design, consistent with applicable NRC-endorsed guidance.Lifting devices and interfacing lifting points associated with spent fuel cask handling will also be designed in accordance with applicable NRC guidance pertaining to single-failure-proof liftingsystems.The result of these design upgrades is that the AB crane will retain the lifted load in the event of a single failure in the load path, including a failure of a wire rope.In addition, Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 23 of 28 the crane will hold the load and the trolley and bridge will be designed to stay on their respective rails during a design basis seismic event.The relocation of TS 3.8.a.7 to the KPS Technical Requirements Manual (TRM)is an administrative change that does not affect plant operation or heavy load handling.Revised TS 3.8.a.7 and its associated Bases will be relocated to the TRM after approval of this amendment request.Changes to the KPS TRM are controlled by 10 CFR 50.59.Regulation 10 CFR 50.59 requires that NRC approval be obtained prior to any change that would result in more than a minimal increase in 1)the frequency of occurrence of an accident previously evaluated, 2)likelihood of occurrence of a malfunction of a SSC important to safety previously evaluated, or 3)consequences of a malfunction of a SSC important to safety previously evaluated.
Accordingly, upon relocation of the requirements of TS 3.8.a.7 and associated Bases to the TRM, appropriate control of changes will be maintained, based on the criteria in 10 CFR 50.59.Administrative relocation of the requirements of TS 3.8.a.7 does not adversely affect accident initiators or precursors nor alter the design assumptions, conditions, configuration of KPS or the manner in which it is operated.Therefore, the proposed change does not significantly increase the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
2.Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
No.Heavy load handling will continue to be conducted in accordance with the KPS heavy load handling program, which meets the NRC's guidance in NUREG-0612, as approved for KPS.Drops of heavy loads will continue to be very improbable events and the upgrade of the KPS AB crane lifting system to a single-failure-proof design provides additional defense-in-depth against such events.Notwithstanding the AB crane upgrade, heavy loads will still be prohibited from being suspended over irradiated fuel in the spent fuel pool storage racks under the revised requirements.
Heavy load handling operations at KPS will continue to be conducted as they currently are and no new heavy load handling operationsarerequired as a result of this amendment.
The previously evaluated cask drop accident is not considered credible with the upgraded AS crane because the crane trolley is Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 24 of 28 being upgraded to a single-failure-proof design, consistent with applicable NRC-endorsed guidance.Lifting devices and interfacing lifting points associated with spent fuel cask handling will also be designed in accordance with applicable NRC guidance pertaining to single-failure-proof liftingsystems.The result of these design upgrades is that the AB crane will retain the lifted load in the event of a single failure in the load path, including a failure of a wire rope.In addition, the crane will hold the load and the trolley and bridge will be designed to stay on their respective rails during a design basis seismic event.The relocation of TS 3.8.a.7 to the KPS Technical Requirements Manual (TRM)is an administrative change that doesnotaffect plant operation or heavy load handling.Accordingly, upon relocation of the requirements of TS 3.8.a.7 and associated Bases to the TRM, appropriate control of changes will be maintained, based on the criteria in 10 CFR 50.59.Modification of the requirements of TS 3.8.a.7 does not adversely affect accident initiators or precursors nor alter the design assumptions, conditions, configuration of KPS or the manner in which it is operated.Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.
3.Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?No.The proposed amendment revises KPS heavy load handling TS 3.8.a.7 requirements consistent with modifications to the AB crane and the NRC's current guidance for single-failure-proof lifting systems.Heavy load handling will continue to be conducted in accordance with the KPS heavy load handling program, which meets the NRC's guidance in NUREG-0612, as approved for KPS.Drops of heavy loads will continue to be very improbable events and the upgrade of the KPS AB crane lifting system to a single-failure-proof design provides additional defense-in-depth against such events and an increase in overall design margin.Notwithstandingthe AB crane upgrade, heavy loads will still be prohibited from being suspended over irradiated fuel in the spent fuel pool storage racks under the revised requirements.
Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 25 of 28 Further, the relocation of TS 3.8.a.7 to the KPS Technical Requirements Manual (TRM)is an administrative change that does not affect plant operation or heavy load handling.Heavy load handling operations at KPS will continue to be conducted as they currently are and no new heavy load handling operationsarerequired as a result of this amendment.Thepreviously evaluated cask drop accident is less probable with the upgraded AB crane because the crane trolley is being upgraded to a single-failure-proof design, consistent with applicableendorsed guidance.Lifting devices and interfacing lifting points associated with spent fuel cask handling will also be designed in accordance with applicable NRC guidance pertaining to single-failure-proof lifting systems.The result of these design upgrades is that the AB crane will retain the lifted load in the event of a single failure in the load path, including a failure of a wire rope.In addition, the crane will hold the load and the trolley and bridge will be designed to stay on their respective rails during a design basis seismic event.Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.Based on the above, Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc.concludes that the proposed amendment(s) present no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and, accordingly, a finding of"no significant hazards consideration" is justified.
5.2 Applicable
Regulatory Requirements/Criteria The US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC)issued their Safety Evaluation (SE)of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS)on July 24, 1972 with supplements dated December 18, 1972 and May 10, 1973.In the AEC's SE, Section 3.1,"Conformance with AEC General Design Criteria," described the conclusions the AEC reached associated with the General Design Criteria in effect at the time.The AEC stated: 'The KPS plant was designed and constructed to meet the intent of the AEC's General Design Criteria, as originally proposed in July 1967.Construction of the plant was about 50%complete and the Final Safety Analysis Report (Amendment No.7)had been filed with the Commission before publication of the revised General Design Criteria in February 1971 and the present version of the criteria in July 1971.As a result, wedidnot require the applicant to reanalyze the plant or resubmit the FSAR.However, our technical review did assess the Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 1 Page 26 of 28 plant against the General Design Criteria now in effect and we are satisfied that the plant design generally conforms to the intent of these criteria." As such, the appropriate criteria KPS is licensed to, which are contained in the Final Safety Analysis (Amendment 7), and has been updated and re-titled the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR)are listed below.Criterion 69: Provisions shall be made in the design of fuel and waste storage facilities such that no undue risk to the health and safety of the public could result from an accidental release of radioactivity (GDC 69).In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (1)there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2)such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3)the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION A review has determined that the proposed amendment would change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, or would change an inspection or surveillance requirement.
However, the proposed amendment does not involve (i)a significant hazards consideration, (ii)a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite, or (iii)a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).
Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 4 Page 1 of 3 3.8.1 SPENT FUEL POOL-CONTROL OF HEAVY LOADS APPLICABILITY Whenever a load greater than the weight of a fuel assembly, including its heaviest insert and handling tool, is lifted in or around the spent fuel pool.OBJECTIVE Control the movement of loads in excess of the nominal weight of a fuel assembly, including its heaviest insert and associated handling tool, in or around the spent fuel pool.TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS Administrative Limiting Conditions for Operation CALCOs)a.Heavy loads greater than the weight of a fuel assembly, including its heaviest insert and handling tool, will not be transported over or placed in either spent fuel pool when spent fuel is stored in that pool, unless: 1.The heavy load does not traverse directly above spent fuel stored in the pool's spent fuel storage racks, and 2.The load handling system (e.g., crane, associated lifting devices, and interfacing lift points)used for these lifts meets the single-failure-proof handling system criteria.b.If, during the movement of heavy loads over or in the spent fuel pool, the load handling system is determined not to meet the applicable single-failure-proof criteria, then immediately place the suspended load in a safe condition (no longer suspended over the spent fuel pool)and cease further movement over the spent fuel pool until the crane can be repaired or other appropriate corrective actions implemented to restore compliance.
Administrative Surveillance Requirement (ASRs)c.The following test shall be performed in the frequency specified 1.None Serial No.07-0352 License Amendment Request 227 Attachment 4 Page 2 of 3 BASES A"heavy load" is defined as any load (a mass or weight suspended from the crane's hook)greater than the weight of a fuel assembly, including its heaviest insert and handling tool.The purpose of this administrative limiting condition for operation is to control the movement of heavy loads in or around the spent fuel pool.This administrative limiting condition for operations was relocated from the Kewaunee Power Station Technical Specifications because it no longer meets any of the four criteria 10 CFR 50.36 lists for items required in technical specifications.
The Auxiliary Building crane (part of the load handling system 1)was modified to meet the criteria of a single-failure-proof crane found in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6(2)and the crane is designed, fabricated, installed, and tested totheguidance of NUREG-0554, as approved for KPS.The crane will be inspected, tested, and maintained in accordance with ASME B30.2-1976.
In addition, the modified Auxiliary Building crane was load-tested to 156.25 tons (125%).The lifting devices and interfacing lift points associated with the Auxiliary Building crane also meet the guidance in NUREG-0612 to be considered a single-failure-proof lifting system.Specifically, special lifting devices will meet the guidance in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6(1)(a)and lifting devices not specially designed will meet the guidance in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6(1)(b).Interfacing lift points will meet the guidance in NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6(3).Afailure-proof AB crane lifting system allows for the removal of the cask-drop accident from the licensing basis of the Kewaunee Power Station, as the accident is no longer credible.With the cask-drop accident removed from the licensing basis, Criterion 2 of 10 CFR 50.36 no longer applies, and the crane load limits were relocated from the TSs to the TRM.Crane interlocks are utilized to ensure safe load handling.Crane interlocks and administrative procedures will prevent the movement of heavy loads over spent fuel in the storage racks in spent fuel pool.Movement of necessary heavy loads over irradiated fuel in the spent fuel canister during cask handling operations will only be performed as required by the design of the spent fuel cask system.Removal/placement of additional spent fuel racks and support hardware will be controlled by procedures to prevent movement to directly above spent fuel.Handling of spent fuel storage casks and associated other heavy loads is controlled by procedures to prevent movement to directly above spent fuel, except as necessary to correctly load the cask system in accordance with the cask vendor's operating procedures.
