nmental and abnormal loadings (such as earthquakes) and impacts from drop of a spent fuel cask, drop of a spent fuel assembly, or drop of any other heavy object during routine spent fuel handling. The following indicates the major structural elements reviewed and the extent of the descriptive information required: A. Support of the Spent Fuel RacksCThe applicant should describe the general arrangements and principal features of the horizontal and vertical supports to the spent fuel racks and indicate the methods of transferring the loads on the racks to the fuel pool wall and the foundation slab. All gaps (clearance or expansion allowance) and sliding contacts should be indicated. The discussion should cover the extent of interfacing between the new rack system and the old fuel pool walls and base slab (i.e., interface loads, response spectra, etc.). If connections of the racks are made to the base and to the side walls of the pool such that the pool liner may be perforated, the applicant should indicate the provisions for avoiding leakage of radioactive water from the pool. B. Fuel HandlingCThe organization responsible for postulation of a drop accident and quantification of the drop parameters reviews the criteria related to fuel handling. The findings of the review are evaluated for the purpose of integrity of the racks and the fuel pool, including the fuel pool liner, in view of a postulated fuel-handling accident. The applicant should provide sketches and sufficient details of the fuel-handling system to facilitate this review. 2. Applicable Codes, Standards, and Specifications Construction materials should conform to American Society of Mechanical Engineers, (ASME), Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, (Code), Section III, Division 1, 3.8.4-30 Revision 3 – May 2010 Subsection NF. All materials should be selected to be compatible with the fuel pool environment to minimize corrosion and galvanic effects. Design, fabrication, and installation of spent fuel racks of
