TECHNICAL EVALUATION REPORT FOR SEAER00K STATION

1. INTRODUCTION l

l 1.1 Purpose of Review = . .

~

- This technical evaluatien report documents the EG&G Idaho, Inc. review

- of general load handling policy and procedures at Seabrook Thi,s .

evaluation was performec with the objective of assessing conformance to the general load handling guidelines of NUREG-0612, " Control of ~

Heavy Loads at Nuclear Power Plants" [1], Section 5.1.'I. -

1.2 Generic Backoround . . ,

.qtgeric Technical" Activity TasE A-36 was established by the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff to systematically examine staff licensing criteria and the adequacy of measures in effect at operating nuclear power plants to assure the safe handling of heavy ,

loads and to recommend necessary changes to these measures.' This activity was initiated by a letter issued by the NRC staff on May 17, ,

1978.[2], to all power re' actor applicants, requesting information --

concerning the control of heavy loads near spent fuel. .

The results of Task A-36 were reported in NUREG-0612, " Control of Heavy Loads at Nuclear Power Plants." The staff's conclusion from this evaluation was that existjng measures to control the handling of heavy loads at operating, plants, although providing protection from certain potential problems, do not adequately cover the major causes.

of load handling accidents and should be upgraded. -

In order to upgrade measures for the control of heavy loads, the staff s developed a series of guidelines designed to achieve a two phase,

.~

d 4

1

i objective using an accepted approach or protection philosophy.- Th,e .

first, portion of the objective, achieved through a set of general guidelines identified in NUREG-0612, Article 5.1.1, is to ensure that all load handling systems at nuclear power plants are designed and operated such that their probability of failur6 is u7iif6rmly small and '

appropriate for the critical tasks in which they are employed. The I I

second portion of the staff's objective, achieved through guidelines l identified in NUREG-0&l2, Articles 5.1.2 through 5.1.5,_,1s to ensure that, f6r load handling systems in areas where their failure might ".

result in significant consequences, either (1) features are 'provided, in addition to those required for all load handling systems, to. ensure l

that the potential for a load drop is extremely small (e.g., a single-failure proof crane) or (2.) conservative evaluations of load handling accidents indicate that the potential consequences of any load drop are acceptably small. Acceptability of accident '

donsequences is quantifi'ed in NUREG-0612 into four accident analysit 7

evaluation criteria. , ,

mo-The a;iproach used to develop the staff guideTines for minimizing the potential for a load drop was based on defense in depth and.is summarized as foll'ows: . .

I o Provide sufficient operator traini.ng, handling system j design, load handling instructions, and equipment I inspection to assure reliable operation of the Iandling ,

~

3 system l l

l l o Define safe load travel paths through procedures and operator f. raining so that, to the extent practical,

' i heavy loads.are not carried over or 'near irradiated fuel or safe shutdown equipment ,

i o Provide mechanical stops or electrical interlocks'to prevent movement of heavy loads over irradiated fuel or

• in proximity to equipment associated with redundant. .

shutdown paths.

Staff guidelines resulting from the foregoing are tabulated in , , [

Section 5 of NUREG-0612. .

1.3 Plant-Soecific Backorcund On December 22, 1980,, the NRC issued a letter [3] to-the Public

• Service Company of New Hampthire, the applicant for Seabrook requesting that the applicant review provisions for handling and control of heavy loads at Seabrook, evaluate these provTsions with respect to'the guidelines of NUREG-0612, and provide certain additional information to be used for an independent determination of conformance to these gui.delines. In September 1982 the Public Service Company of New Hampshire provided the initial response [4] to this request. , ,

2. EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

]

2.1 Overview ,

The following sections summarize the Public S'ervice Company of .

New Hampshire's revi'ew of heavy load handling at Seabrook accompanied

. by EG&G's evaluation, conclusions, and recommendations to the 1

applicant for bringing the facilities more completely int'o compliance, l

.. with the intent of NUREG-0612. The Public Service Co=pany of -

i I

New Hampshire's review of the facilities does not differentiate '

between the units so it is assumed that all units are of identical

• design. The applicant has in'dicated the weight of a heavy load for j this facility (as defined in NUREG-0612, Article 1.2) as 2000 lbs.

i 2.2 Heavy Load Overhead Handlino Systems  ;

)

This section reviews the applicant's list of overhead handling systems l wlicharesubjectt5thecriteriaofNUREG-0612andareviewofthe justification for excluding overhead handling systems from the above I

mentioned list.

2.2.1 Scooe

" Report the results of your review of pTant arrangements to

. f identify all overhead handling systems from which a load drop may

. result in damage to any system required for plant shutdown or -

decay heat removal (taking no credit for any interlocks, technical specifications, operating procedures, or detailed structural analysis) and justify the exclusion of any overhead .

handling system from your list by verifying that there is sufficient physical separation from any load-impact point and any safety related component to permit a determination by inspection that no heavy load drop can result in damage to any system or component required for plant shutdown or decay heat removal."

k_ - -~

8 A. Summary of Aoolicant Statements The applicant's review of overhead handling systems identified the cranes and hoists shown in Table 2.1 as those

. which handle heavy loads in the vicinity of i.r. radiated fuel a or safe shutdown equipment. However, the applicant excidded five (5) of the listed handling systems from evaluation in

~

response to ,Section 2.1, Enclosure 3 of the NRC, request for .

information. The applicant excluded these five (5) cranes ~

" ~

- or hoists on the basis of operating procedures and

, redundancy of the equipment over which they are located.

1 The applicant has also identified other cranes that have been excluded from satisifying the criteria of the general ,

guidelines of NUREG-0612. .;

o .- . .

~~

B. EG&G Evaluation ' -

nno- _

The applicant appears to have included most applicable handling systems in their tables showing handling for which a load drop could damage equipment. However, some. monorails .

and cranes were not considered in the remainder of'their response to Section 2.1 of Enclosure 3 of the NRC ,

~

request [3] for'information. The handling systems 1n --

question include: Radial Arm Stud Tensioner Hoists,~. '

, Charging Pump Service Monorail Hoist, Radioactive Pipe -

Tunnel Service Monorail Hofst, Main Steam and Feedwater Pipe l Chase Crane, and the Diesel Generator Service Crane.

These handling systems should have been considered in the remainder of the response to this section of the request for  ;

information since their exclusion takes into account credit for operating procedures and techniques or assumes .

redundancy as the basis for not providing further. safety.

• evaluation. The basis' for exclusion has some merit but is j not a consideration for this section of the response, )

The applicant has excluded two (2) handling systems whici) need a more detailed exianation for exclusion. The two

- systems are the spent Fuel Handling Crane, which was -

excluded on 'the basis that no safety equipment.1s in the ,

area, and the Spent Fuel Pool Bridge and Hoist, which was -  !

excluded on the basis that it doesn't carry heavy loads. 1 The Spent Fuel Handling Cask may not be near any safety

~

equipment but it does appear to handle irradia' ted fuel which has safety implications: The Spent Fuel Pool Bridge and ..

Hoist has a capacity of two (2) tons and should be included  !

• C. EG&G Conclusions and Recommendations +

I Based on the information provided EG&G concludes that the

' ~

applicant has included most of the applicable hoists and.

cranes in their list of handling systems which must compl'y with the . requirements of the general g,uidelines of5 NUREG-0612. EG&G recommend's that the applicant include evaldation of cranes listed in Table 2.1 but not evaluated ,

in their response to Section 2.1, Enclosure 3 of the NRC request for inform; tion. We also recommend a more thorough explanation o,f exclusion of the Spent Fuel Cask Handling .

2.3.1> Safe Load Paths [ Guideline 1. N REG-0612, Article 5.1.1(1)] ,

79

" Safe load paths should be defined for the movement of heavy

oads tc minimize the potential for heavy loads, if dropped, to j imoact irradiated fuel in the reactor vessel and in the spent

. fuel pool, or to impact safe shutdown equi.pment .The path should -

follow, to the extent practical, structural floor members, beaJns, t

, etc., such that.if the load is dropped, the structure is more likely to withstand the impact. These load paths should be .

defined in procedures, shown on equipment layout drawings, and -

-learly marked on,the floor in the area where the load is to be t,a ndl ed. Deviations from defined load paths should~ require ~

l .",-

written alternative procedures approved by the plant safety -

5/ review committee."

• a A. Summary of Aeolicant Statements The applicant has evaluated load path locations for Seabrook -

^

Station. The applicant states'that load movement follows 4< t s

the safest and shortest route-with; the load as cle'e.to the floor as, possible. Due to the nature of the load paths, the

%- applicant states that marking the load paths on the : floor is I , generally not feasible nor would it contribute to reactor b safety.

P B. EG&G Evaluation .

The applicant response and drawings submitted indicates thai" .

G'uideline 1 criteria have been partly satisfied at Ssabrook

Station. Load prths have been developed for all heavy loads which have been identified. However these load path as represented on the submitted seem to be load-areas and not specific load ' paths. Also as indicated earlier no information is included for some systems'and loalfs.

l '. The applicant's position on the unfeasibility of marking load pths on the floor is not acceptable. EG&G does agree that for some areas and/or loads floor marking is not the i

best method for designating a load path, but for certain loads i,t may be the best method available.

9 j g

(

• O Lead path markings are meant to be used by load handling -

, operators and their supervisors as a means for monitoring proper areas where movements of heavy load's will take place so that personnel not directly involved in load handling-will be alert ~ed to keep these pathways cliia['of non ref ated '

materials: By consolidating the various load paths, the

., applicant should be able to develop a systematic sequence of.

pathways for the movement of heavy loads ~ to t_ heir. lay-down or staging areas which is not overly complex or confusing "to.

operators and supervisors, thus contributing to the general safety of plant personnel by minimizing interference.with load handling operations. For some crane systems such as

. monorails the load paths are defined by the routing of the monorail and the marking necessary would be minimal.

.i C. EG&G Conclusions and Recommendations ,

T -

c . .

-

• EG&G concludes from the applicant's response thatcthe Seabrook Station partially comply with Guideline 1..

In ordei to adhere to the criteria of this guideline, EG&G -

recommends that the applicant develop more specific load-paths for all applicable systems and loads and clearly mark -

safe load paths on the floor o: by some other means 'in area's' where heavy loads are handled. .

e 2.3.2 Load Handlina Procedures [ Guideline 2. NUREG-0612, Article 5.1.1(2)] *

" Procedures should be developed to cover load handling operations for heavy loads that are or could be handled over or in proximity to irradiated fuel or safe shutdown equipment. At a minimum procedures should~ cover handling of those loads' listed in Table 3-1 of NUREG-0612. These procedures'should include:

identification of required equipment; inspections and acceptance criteria required before movement of load; the steps,and proper -

g sequence to be followed in handling the load; defining the. safe

, path; and other special precautions." -
