  • EAST HAMPTON, CT 06424-3099 September 10, 2001 Docket No. 50-23 CY-01 -108 Re: 10CFR50.90 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attention: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 Haddam Neck Plant Proposed Technical Specification Change Introduction Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company (CYAPCO) hereby proposes to amend its Operating License, DPR-61, by incorporating the attached proposed changes into the Haddam Neck Plant (HNP) Technical Specifications.

The proposed changes to Technical Specification 3/4.9.7 and corresponding Bases address application of a Single-Failure-Proof Handling System, as defined by NUREG-0612 and NUREG-0554, for the handling of loads in excess of 1800 pounds near or over the Spent Fuel Pool. The anticipated types of heavy-loads include the combination of a spent fuel storage canister and transfer cask which are compliant with an NRC Certificate of Compliance per 10 CFR 72.214 and 10 CFR 72.238.

US NRC CY-01 -108/Page 2 Discussion The proposed changes address both: (a) the existing designs of the Fuel Handling Cranes within the Spent Fuel Building and (b) a Single-Failure-Proof Handling System that includes a Yard Crane upgraded to the single-failure-proof criteria of NUREG-0612 and NUREG-0554 by application of the X-SAM crane design. The X-SAM crane design is defined by: (a) NRC-approved Generic Licensing Topical Report EDR-I (P)-A, Revision 3, "EDERER'S Nuclear Safety Related eXtra-Safety And Monitoring (X-SAM) CRANES" Revision 3, Amendment 3, dated October 8, 1982, (b) the NRC Safety Evaluation for EDR-1, Revision 1, dated January 2, 1980, and (c) the NRC Safety Evaluation for EDR-1, Revision 3, dated August 26, 1983.

Within the previous decade, several other licensees have submitted similar proposed Technical Specification changes concerning Single-Failure-Proof Handling Systems; and the NRC has issued corresponding license amendments.

In support of this license amendment request, the following information is provided:

"* Attachment 1 provides: (i) a detailed description of the proposed changes, (ii) background and reason for the proposed change, (iii) regulatory analysis, (iv) technical analysis, (v) a no significant hazards consideration determination, and (vi) an environmental impact consideration determination.

"* In conformance with the NRC Safety Evaluations for EDR-1, Attachment 2 provides a plant-specific Appendix B Supplement to EDR-1.

"* In conformance with the NRC Safety Evaluations for EDR-1, Attachment 3 provides a plant-specific Appendix C Supplement to EDR-1, including information concerning seismic qualification.

"* Attachment 4 forwards the marked-up Technical Specification and Bases pages.

" Attachment 5 forwards the retyped Technical Specification and Bases pages.

As discussed in Attachment 1, the proposed changes have been reviewed in accordance with 10 CFR 50.92, and it has been determined that the proposed changes do not involve a Significant Hazards Consideration (SHC). In addition, the proposed changes have been reviewed in consideration of 10 CFR 51.22, and it has been determined that the proposed changes meet the criteria for categorical exemption from requiring an environmental impact statement.

US NRC CY-01 -108/Page 3 Independent Review The Plant Operations Review Committee and Nuclear Safety Assessment Board have reviewed the proposed amendment request and concur with the above determinations.

State Notification In accordance with 1 OCFR 50.91(b), CYAPCO is providing the State of Connecticut with a copy of the proposed amendment request.

Commitments The following commitments are contained within this letter:

" For the Single-Failure-Proof Handling System, administrative controls will be used to maintain a vertical distance of greater than 1.5 feet between any crane load greater than 1800 pounds and any surface within the Spent Fuel Building which has not been demonstrated by evaluation to support safe operation of the facility following damage resulting from either a postulated failure of the drive train or single wire rope.

"* The Single-Failure-Proof Handling System will not be used to lift spent fuel assemblies from Spent Fuel Racks.

"* The Auxiliary Hoist of the upgraded Yard Crane will not be used for any crane load greater than 1800 pounds that is near or over the Spent Fuel Pool.

Schedule Required for NRC Approval The modifications to the Yard Crane are scheduled to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2001.

Therefore, CYAPCO requests that these proposed changes be reviewed and approved by the NRC Staff within 180 days of receipt. Finally, CYAPCO requests that the license amendment be effective upon issuance for implementation within 60 days.

US NRC CY-01 -108/Page 4 Conclusion The proposed changes have been reviewed in accordance with 10 CFR 50.92 and have been determined to not constitute a Significant Hazards Consideration (SHC).

In addition, the proposed changes have been reviewed in consideration of 10 CFR 51.22; and it has been determined that the proposed changes meet the criteria for a categorical exemption from requiring an environmental impact statement.

Docket No. 50-213 CY-01-108 Attachment 1 Haddam Neck Plant Proposed Revision to Technical Specifications Description and Analysis September 2001

US Nuclear Regulatory Commission CY-01-108 Attachment 1/Page 2 of 11 Detailed Description of Change The proposed changes affect Technical Specification 3/4.9.7 "CRANE TRAVEL SPENT FUEL BUILDING," and corresponding Technical Specification Bases B 3/4.9.7.

The proposed Technical Specification Changes are:

" Revision of Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.9.7 to identify that the existing prohibitions on travel of crane loads in excess of 1800 pounds are not applicable to a Single-Failure-Proof Handling System including a Yard Crane that is compliant with the single-failure-proof criteria of NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.2(1) and NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.6.

"* Revision of Technical Specification Bases 3/4.9.7 to identify that the continuing restrictions on the movement of loads in excess of 1800 pounds by any crane that is not qualified to single-failure-proof criteria supports both (a) the safety analysis described in FSAR Section 15.2.2 and (b) the referenced evaluation of the effect of load drop on spent fuel structural integrity.

" Revision of Technical Specification Bases 3/4.9.7 to identify that the Single-Failure-Proof Handling System, as defined by NUREG-0612, is applied for the handling of loads in excess of 1800 pounds near or over any area the Spent Fuel Pool, including certified spent fuel casks.

The proposed changes retain existing requirements concerning the travel of the Fuel Handling Cranes.

Background and Reason for Change The Technical Specifications for the Haddam Neck Plant (HNP) include a restriction on the movement of loads greater than 1800 pounds over any fuel assembly stored in the Spent Fuel Pool. Additionally, the licensing bases includes a restriction on the handling of spent fuel casks near or over any area of the Spent Fuel Pool.

As stated in the NRC Safety Evaluation for Facility Operating License Amendment 125, Reference (7), the required condition for the removal of the restriction is the completion of NUREG-0612 Phase II actions (which are defined in Generic Letter 85-11, Reference (8)).

To date, CYAPCO has not fully completed NUREG-0612 Phase II actions that fulfil the condition for the handling of spent fuel casks near or over the Spent Fuel Pool.

US Nuclear Regulatory Commission CY-01-108 Attachment 1/Page 3 of 11 CYAPCO anticipates future transfers of spent fuel from the Spent Fuel Pool in compliance with a Certificate of Compliance for an approved dry cask storage system.

Therefore, the reasons for the proposed changes are to provide revised Technical Specification requirements and Bases that:

"* Support the analytical assumptions for the safety analysis that is described in FSAR Section 15.2.2, Reference (9). (Existing restrictions are retained for cranes that are not qualified to the single-failure-proof criteria of NUREG-0612).

"* Identify that application of the single-failure-proof heavy load handling system, as defined by of NUREG-0612 Sections 5.1.2(1) and 5.1.6, fulfills the required condition for the movement of heavy loads, including spent fuel casks, near or over any area of the Spent Fuel Pool.

"* Restrict the handling of such loads to a crane and lifting devices that conform to the single-failure-proof heavy load handling system criteria of NUREG-0612 Sections 5.1.2(1) and 5.1.6.

Regulatory Guidance and Regculatory Analysis The proposed license amendment corresponds to application of a combination of design of systems, structures, components (SSCs), and procedures that support compliance with the applicable guidelines of NUREG-0612, "Control of Heavy Loads at Nuclear Power Plants," Reference (1).

Applicable Guidelines of NUREG-0612 The guidelines of Section 5.1 of NUREG-0612 provide a defense-in-depth approach to assure the safe handling of heavy loads near or over spent fuel at licensed commercial nuclear power plants.

General Requirements of NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.1 In the Safety Evaluation for License Amendment 125, Ref. (7), the NRC acknowledged that the general guidance of NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.1 (NUREG-0612 Phase I) was applicable to HNP heavy load handling near or over the Spent Fuel Pool. Specifically, the guidelines of Section 5.1.1 include guidance concerning: (a) safe load paths, (b) procedures, (c) qualifications of crane operators, (d) lifting devices, and (e) the inspection, testing, and maintenance of cranes and lifting devices used to lift heavy loads near or over irradiated fuel.

The proposed amendment supports conformance with this guidance.

US Nuclear Regulatory Commission CY-01 -108 Attachment 1/Page 4 of 11 Alternative Criteria Sets of NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.2 In addition to identifying the applicability of the guidelines of Section 5.1.1, Section 5.1.2 (NUREG-0612 Phase II)also states that "heavy load handling operations in the spent fuel pool area" should satisfy one of four alternative sets of criteria.

The proposed license amendment corresponds to the first of the four alternative sets of criteria from NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.2, Alternative Criterion 5.1.2(1).

Specifically, Alternative Criterion 5.1.2(1) states:

"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 5.1.6 of NUREG-0612 concerns "Single-Failure-Proof Handling Systems."]

Unlike, the other three alternative criteria sets of NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.2, Criterion 5.1.2(1) includes no requirements concerning analysis of postulated load drop or resulting consequences.

For the Haddam Neck Plant, the application of alternative criterion 5.1.2(1) is implementation of a Single-Failure-Proof Handling System that includes:

  • An upgraded Yard Crane
  • Special lifting devices
  • Interfacing lift points such as lifting lugs and cask trunnions.

The proposed license amendment includes proposed changes to Technical Specifications and Bases that correspond to the application of a Single-Failure-Proof Handling System, as defined by NUREG-0612 Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.2(1), and 5.1.6, for the following types of crane loads:

"* Any load in excess of 1800 pounds that is moved over any fuel assembly in the Spent Fuel Pool

"* Any heavy load as defined in NUREG-0612, including a spent fuel cask, that is moved near or over any area of the Spent Fuel Pool.

US Nuclear Regulatory Commission CY-01 -108 Attachment 1/Page 5 of 11 Technical Analysis CYAPCO is presently awaiting NRC approval of the NAC International (NAC)

Request for Amendment of the Certificate of Compliance for the NAC, Multi-Purpose Canister (MPC) System (Certificate No. 1025) to incorporate the Haddam Neck Plant spent fuel as approved contents. In describing operations for the transfer of spent fuel assemblies from a Spent Fuel Pool to a Transportable Storage Canister within a Vertical Concrete Cask (components of the MPC system),

the submitted NAC MPC SAR, Reference (10), refers to the application of a "cask handling crane" and specific handling devices that comply with the single-failure proof system criteria of NUREG-0612 for the movement of heavy loads over or near the Spent Fuel Pool.

The NAC-MPC SAR identifies a combined weight of a Transportable Storage Canister within a Transfer Cask that is within the approximate weight range for a Spent Fuel Shipping Cask (15 - 110 tons) as listed in the categories of heavy loads from Table 3.1-1 of NUREG-0612. The NAC-MPC SAR also identifies a weight for a fully loaded Transfer Cask and canister that is within the approximate weight range for a Spent Fuel Shipping Cask as listed in Table 3.1-1 of NUREG-0612.

Currently, CYAPCO has no cask handling crane that is qualified to one of the four alternative sets of criteria from NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.2. Therefore, in anticipation of transfers of spent fuel in compliance with a Certificate of Compliance for an approved dry cask storage system, it is necessary to upgrade the existing Yard Crane to meet the single-failure-proof criterion of NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.2(1).

Additionally, as stated in the NAC-MPC SAR, anticipated transfer of spent fuel assemblies from a Spent Fuel Pool include the movement of a canister shield lid over irradiated fuel within a transportable storage canister located in the Cask Laydown Area of the Spent Fuel Pool. The NAC-MPC SAR identifies that the weight of the canister shield lid is greater than 1800 pounds, the maximum permissible weight over a fuel assembly as specified in existing Technical Specification 3/4.9.7.

Therefore, it is necessary to upgrade the existing Yard Crane to meet the single-failure-proof criterion of NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.2(1).

Ederer Incorporated has been contracted to upgrade the existing Yard Crane.

The upgrade work is currently scheduled to occur during the third and fourth quarter of 2001.

The upgraded system will include: (a) the existing support structure, (b) the modified bridge, (c) the modified trolley from the Turbine Building Crane, and (d) an X-SAM main hoist.

US Nuclear Regulatory Commission CY-01-108 Attachment 1/Page 6 of 11 The resulting combination of bridge, trolley and hoist components for the upgraded Yard Crane corresponds to that described in Ederer Incorporated Generic Licensing Topical Report EDR-I(P)-A, entitled "Ederer's Nuclear Safety-Related Extra Safety and Monitoring (X-SAM) Cranes," Revision 3 (Reference (2)). That topical report describes the design and testing of the 'single-failure-proof' features which are intended for handling heavy loads near and over the Spent Fuel Pool.

By letter dated January 2, 1980, Reference (3), the NRC issued a Topical Report Evaluation concluding that" ... .the design features described in the topical report

[Revision 1] are acceptable for assuring that a single failure will not result in the loss of capability to safely retain a critical load." This NRC Topical Report Evaluation was later updated by a NRC Safety Evaluation issued on August 26, 1983, Reference (4).

In accordance with the stipulation in the NRC's January 2, 1980 Topical Report Evaluation, we have enclosed as Attachments 2 and 3, the Appendix B and Appendix C supplements to the generic licensing topical report EDR-I(P)-A.

These supplements provide a summary of plant-specific information supplied by Ederer Incorporated and CYAPCO.

No Significant Hazards Consideration CYAPCO has reviewed the proposed changes to the Technical Specifications in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of Amendment," and concluded that the changes do not involve a significant hazards consideration (SHC). The proposed changes do not involve an SHC because the change would not:

1. Involve a significant increasein the probabilityor consequences of an accidentpreviously evaluated.

Concerning the application of a single-failure-proof handling system for handling heavy loads near or over the Spent Fuel Pool, NUREG-0612 "Control of Heavy Loads at Nuclear Power Plants" asserts that the probability of an accidental load drop while handling loads over the spent fuel is insignificant.

Under the proposed amendment, the evaluation criteria of NUREG-0612 Section 5.1 are satisfied by the combination of (a) the continued implementation of procedures and the practices for both the Fuel Handling Cranes and the Yard Crane that provide conformance with the guidelines of Section 5.1.1 of NUREG-0612, and (b) the application of a single-failure-proof handling system that satisfies the criteria of NUREG-0612 Sections 5.1.2(1) and 5.1.6 for the movement of any load with a weight greater than 1800 pounds either (i) over any spent fuel assembly in the Spent Fuel Pool or (ii) near or over any area of the Spent Fuel Pool, including the Spent Fuel Cask Laydown Area.

US Nuclear Regulatory Commission CY-01 -108 Attachment 1/Page 7 of 11 The proposed amendment retains existing restrictions on crane travel for the Fuel Handling Cranes, which are not qualified to the single-failure-proof criteria of NUREG-0612. These retained restrictions continue to support the existing safety analysis of Section 15.2.2 "Fuel Handling Accident" of the UFSAR, Reference (9).

Additionally, the proposed amendment corresponds to the application of a single-failure-proof handling system to fulfill the NUREG-0612 Phase II condition that is required prior to the handling of a spent fuel cask near or over any area of the Spent Fuel Pool.

Therefore, the proposed amendment will not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

The proposed changes will allow the handling by a single-failure-proof handling system of loads in excess of 1800 pounds over fuel assemblies in any region of the Spent Fuel Pool, including the Spent Fuel Cask Laydown Area.

Additionally, the proposed changes correspond to the application of a single-failure proof handling system for the fulfillment of the required condition for the handling of spent fuel casks near or over any area of the Spent Fuel Pool. This required condition is identified in the documentation for the NRC Issuance of License Amendment 125, Ref. (7); and it is acknowledged in the CYAPCO submittal for the proposed license amendment that was issued as License Amendment 188, Ref. (5) and the NRC Issuance of License Amendment 195, Ref. (6).

NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.2 identifies that the capability of a single-failure-proof handling system to handle heavy loads has been identified as equivalent in risk to the capabilities of a non-single-failure-proof heavy load handling system that complies with the criteria of one of the other three alternative sets from NUREG-0612 (including alternative criteria that include analyses concerning postulated heavy load drops.)

A structural evaluation of the heavy load interfaces within the Spent Fuel Cask Laydown Area and the Cask Transfer Bay was performed per the requirements of EDR-1 Appendix B and C (Attachments 2 and 3). The results of the evaluation confirmed the design bases for the Spent Fuel Pool and the Spent Fuel Building are maintained.

As such, use of a single-failure-proof handling system precludes the possibility of a heavy load drop which could cause an accident outside of the existing design bases.

Additionally, the proposed changes retain existing restrictions on the travel of non-single-failure-proof cranes over fuel assemblies in the Spent Fuel Pool. These retained restrictions continue to support the existing safety analysis of Section 15.2.2 "Fuel Handling Accident" of the UFSAR, Reference (9).

US Nuclear Regulatory Commission CY-01 -108 Attachment 1/Page 8 of 11 Therefore, operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment will not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

3. Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Section 5.1.2 of NUREG-0612 identifies that each of the four alternative sets of criteria for the handling of heavy loads near or over the Spent Fuel Pool, including over fuel assemblies, provides a level of safety that is essentially equivalent to the level of safety provided by any of the other three alternative sets of criteria.

The proposed change corresponds to the application of the first of the four alternative sets of criteria, which is described in NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.2(1),

implementation of a single-failure-proof handling system.

Additionally, the proposed change includes the retention of existing crane travel restrictions for the Fuel Handling Cranes, therefore, maintaining the existing margin of safety concerning the operation of those other cranes.

Therefore, operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment will not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Similar Changes In the March 6, 1986 Federal Register Notice, the NRC listed examples of changes which are considered not likely to involve significant hazards considerations.

Example (iv) from the list states:

"A relief granted upon demonstration of acceptable operation from an operating restriction that was imposed because acceptable operation was not yet demonstrated. This assumes that the operating restriction and criteria to a request for relief has been established in a prior review and that it is justified in a satisfactory way that the criteria have been met."

The proposed amendment is similar to the above example. The "operating restriction" that has "been established in a prior review" is the prohibition on the movement of a crane load with a weight in excess of 1800 pounds over any fuel assembly by the application of any crane (existing LCO 3.9.7). The "criteria to be applied to a request for relief" that "have been established in a prior review' are the alternative criteria for a single-failure-proof handling system corresponding to Sections 5.1.2(1) and 5.1.6 of NUREG-0612.

Conclusion Thus, the proposed amendment to the Facility Operating License does not involve a significant hazards consideration as defined in 10CFR50.92.

US Nuclear Regulatory Commission CY-01-108 Attachment 1/Page 9 of 11 Environmental Consideration CYAPCO has reviewed the proposed license amendment against the criteria of 10CFR51.22 for environmental considerations.

This amendment request satisfies the criteria specified in 10CFR51.22(c)(9) for a categorical exclusion from the requirements to perform an environmental assessment or to prepare an environmental impact statement. The criteria of 10CFR51.22(c)(9) are addressed as follows:

(i) The amendment involves no significant hazards consideration.

As discussed in the "No Significant Hazards" Section above, the proposed changes to the Technical Specifications do not involve a significant hazards consideration.

(ii) There is no significant change in the types or significantincrease in the amounts of effluents that may be releasedoffsite.

The proposed license amendment corresponds to the direct implementation of systems, structures, and procedures that satisfy the requirements of NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.1 and the first of the four alternative sets of criteria from Section 5.1.2, Alternative Criterion 5.1.2(1), a single-failure-proof handling system for heavy loads.

As previously discussed, NUREG-0612 identifies that application of the single-failure-proof heavy load handling system criteria, defined by NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.2(1), provides an acceptable alternative to documented analysis of the radiological release consequences of a postulated heavy load drop. For any planned movement of a spent fuel cask or other heavy load near or over the Spent Fuel Pool, there will be application of an upgraded Yard Crane and handling devices that comply with the single-failure-proof criteria of NUREG-0612 Sections 5.1.2(1) and 5.1.6.

The proposed changes have been compared with the requirements of the Radiological Effluent Monitoring program and the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.

No changes to these radioactive monitoring and effluent programs are needed as a result of the proposed changes.

Therefore, the proposed changes involve no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of effluents that may be released offsite.

US Nuclear Regulatory Commission CY-01 -108 Attachment 1/Page 10 of 11 (iii) There is no significantincrease in individual or cumulative occupational radiationexposure.

As stated previously, the proposed license amendment corresponds to the direct implementation of systems, structures, and procedures that satisfy the requirements of NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.1 and the first of the four alternative sets of criteria from Section 5.1.2, Alternative Criterion 5.1.2(1), a single-failure-proof handling system for heavy loads.

As previously discussed, NUREG-0612 identifies that application of the single-failure-proof heavy load handling system criteria, defined by NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.2(1), provides an acceptable alternative to documented analysis of the radiological release consequences of a postulated heavy load drop. For any planned movement of a spent fuel cask or other heavy load near or over the Spent Fuel Pool, there will be application of an upgraded Yard Crane and handling devices that comply with the single-failure-proof criteria of NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.2(1) and NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.6.

Additionally, prior to use of the single-failure-proof handling system for activities corresponding to 10 CFR 72 Subpart K (General License for Storage of Spent Fuel at Power Reactor Sites), CYAPCO will perform written evaluations compliant with the requirements of 10CFR72.212(b). Among these are evaluations that:

(i) Establish that the conditions set forth in the applicable Certificate of Compliance have been met, (ii) Establish that the radioactive material requirements of 10 CFR 72.104 have been met, and (iii) Determine if the effectiveness of radiation protection program is decreased.

Therefore, the proposed changes to Technical Specifications involve no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

Conclusion Thus, the proposed changes to Technical Specifications satisfy the criteria provided in 10CFR51.22(c)(9) for categorical exclusion from the requirements of an environmental impact statement or environmental assessment.

This is consistent with the activity release assumed in the safety analysis.

The restriction also ensures that the effects of any load drop on the spent fuel pool structural integrity is enveloped by the load drop analysis (Holtec Report HI-941225, Rev. 0, "Accident Analysis Report for CY Spent Fuel Racks,"

Dr. Yu Wang, Item 11, Holtec Project 40264) performed for License Amendment 188. 7 3/4.9.11 WATER LEVEL SPENT FUEL POOL The restrictions on minimum water level ensure that sufficient water inventory is available, so that in the event of a complete loss of forced cooling, the time to boil is > 50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 months <br /> (as of December 1997), based on an initial spent fuel pool temperature of 150 OF and no evaporative cooling.

3/4.9.13 MOVEMENT OF FUEL IN SPENT FUEL POOL The limitations of this specification ensure that, in the event of any fuel handling accident in the spent fuel pool, Keff will remain 0 0.95.

3/4.9.14 SPENT FUEL POOL - REACTIVITY CONDITION The limitations described by Figures 3.9-2, 3.9-3, and Figure 3.9-4 ensure that the reactivity of fuel assemblies introduced into the spent fuel pool racks, with no credit taken for soluble boron in the spent fuel pool, are conservatively within the assumptions of the safety analysis.

SPENT FUEL BUILDING OPERATIONS BASES 3/4.9.16 SPENT FUEL POOL COOLING - DEFUELED The primary basis for 150 OF is to limit thermal stresses on the spent fuel pool concrete structures due to the differential temperature across the internal and exterior surfaces of the walls and floor. The basis is further discussed in License Amendment No. 188.

< 2.3E+06 BTU!hr. Each heat exchanger has the capability of removing this heat load. One spent fuel pool heat exchanger and one spent fuel pool cooling pump, that can be operated intermittently, is sufficient to remove the decay heat load.

Assuming no forced or evaporative cooling, the calculated May 1998 heatup rate is approximately 1.2 IF/hr. Thus, in the event of a complete loss of forced cooling arid assuming an initial spent fuel pool temperature of 150 OF, the time to boil, assuming no evaporative cooling, is > 50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 months <br />. Therefore, sufficient time exists to either reestablish forced cooling or to provide makeup to maintain the spent fuel pool inventory.

NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.2(1) identifies an alternative to the performance of specific analysis concerning a postulated drop of a heavy load near or over the Spent Fuel Pool, including over spent fuel assemblies. This identified alternative is the application of a handling system that consists of a single-failure-proof crane, defined by NUREG-0544, "Single-Failure-Proof Cranes for Nuclear Power Plants," and lifting devices and interfaces compliant with the criteria of NUREG-0612 Section 5.1.6.

The main hoist of the Single-Failure-Proof Handling System was designed such that: (a) The maximum load motion following either failure of the drive train or a single wire rope is no greater than 1.5 feet; and (b) The maximum kinetic energy of the load following either failure of the drive train or a single wire rope is less than that resulting from one inch of free fall of the maximum evaluated load.

The Single-Failure-Proof Handling System will not be used to lift spent fuel assemblies from Spent Fuel Pool racks.

The auxiliary hoist of the Yard Crane is not qualified for crane lifts that require the use of the Single-Failure-Proof Handling System; and it will not be used for any crane load > 1800 pounds that is near or over the Spent Fuel Pool.

Administrative controls, subject to compliance with 10 CFR 50.59, are used to maintain a vertical distance of greater than 1.5 feet between any critical load (load > 1800 pounds) and any surface within the Spent Fuel Building which has not been demonstrated by evaluation to support safe operation of the facility following damage resulting from postulated failure of drive train or a single wire rope.

In the event that repairs to the crane are required that cannot be made with the load suspended, the load can be placed in the evaluated Spent Fuel Pool Cask Laydown Area or the evaluated Cask Transfer Bay within the Spent Fuel Building.

3/4.9 SPENT FUEL BUILDING OPERATIONS 3/4.9 SPENT FUEL BUILDING OPERATIONS BASES 3/4.9.7 CRANE TRAVEL - SPENT FUEL BUILDING FUEL HANDLING CRANES For the Fuel Handling Cranes, the Technical Specification Limiting Condition for Operation and Surveillance Requirement provide a restriction on movement of loads in excess of the weight of a fuel and control rod assembly and associated handling tool over other fuel assemblies in the spent fuel pool. That restriction 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 spent fuel pool racks will not result in a critical array.

This is consistent with the activity release assumed in the safety analysis.

The restriction also ensures that the effects of any load drop on the spent fuel pool structural integrity is enveloped by the load drop analysis (Holtec Report HI-941225, Rev. 0, "Accident Analysis Report for CY Spent Fuel Racks," Dr. Yu Wang, Item 11, Holtec Project 40264) performed for License Amendment 188.

3/4.9 SPENT FUEL BUILDING OPERATIONS 3/4.9 BASES Administrative controls, subject to compliance with 10 CFR 50.59, are used to maintain a vertical distance of greater than 1.5 feet between any critical load (load > 1800 pounds) and any surface within the Spent Fuel Building which has not been demonstrated by evaluation to support safe operation of the facility following damage resulting from postulated failure of drive train or a single wire rope.

In the event that repairs to the crane are required that cannot be made with the load suspended, the load can be placed in the evaluated Spent Fuel Pool Cask Laydown Area or the evaluated Cask Transfer Bay within the Spent Fuel Building.

3/4.9.11 WATER LEVEL - SPENT FUEL POOL The restrictions on minimum water level ensure that sufficient water inventory is available, so that in the event of a complete loss of forced cooling, the time to boil is > 50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 months <br /> (as of December 1997), based on an initial spent fuel pool temperature of 150 'F and no evaporative cooling.

3/4.9.13 MOVEMENT OF FUEL IN SPENT FUEL POOL The limitations of this specification ensure that, in the event of any fuel handling accident in the spent fuel pool, Keff will remain

  • 0.95.

3/4.9.14 SPENT FUEL POOL - REACTIVITY CONDITION The limitations described by Figures 3.9-2, 3.9-3, and Figure 3.9-4 ensure that the reactivity of fuel assemblies introduced into the spent fuel pool racks, with no credit taken for soluble boron in the spent fuel pool, are conservatively within the assumptions of the safety analysis.

3/4.9.16 SPENT FUEL POOL COOLING - DEFUELED The primary basis for 150 'F is to limit thermal stresses on the spent fuel pool concrete structures due to the differential temperature across the internal and exterior surfaces of the walls and floor. The basis is further discussed in License Amendment No. 188.

As of May 1998, the spent fuel heat load was calculated to be

< 2.3E+06 BTU/hr. Each heat exchanger has the capability of removing this heat load. One spent fuel pool heat exchanger and HADDAM NECK B3/4 9-3 Amendment No. 125,175,188,193,195 TSB3S9
