i As discussed near the and of. Subsection 9.1.4.3, light loads such as the blade guide,- fuel support casting, control rod s
l or control rod: guide. tube' weigh considerably less than a- 1 fuel bundle and are administrative 1y controlled-to eliminate 1 the movement of any' light. load,over the fuel. pool above the elevation required for fuel assembly . handling. Thus, the kinetic energy of any light,, load would be less:than a fuel bundle and would have less anage induced.- ,

-contiguous with other plant structures except through a. pipe !
tunnel. In casi of a flood, the building substructure serves.as a ['
large sump which can collect and hold any . leakage within the building. Also, the medium and large radwaste tankst are housed in1 ,
sealed compartments which are designed to contain any spillage or i leakage from tanks that may rupt ure. The piping that. transfer the liquid waste from the other buildings traverse through a sealed 5 water-tight tunnel to the ~ Radw&ste ' Building at an elevation of
-3,500 mm, which is 3 meters above the Radwaste Building basement j slap.-This tunnel connects to the Turbine and Reactor Buildings. ,
