U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGULATORY GUIDE OFFICE OF STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT REGULATORY GUIDE 1.104 OVERHEAD CRANE HANDLING SYSTEMS FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS A. INTRODUCTION February 1976 General Design Criterion 1, "Quality Standards and Records," of Appendix A, "General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants," to 10 CFR Part 50, "Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities," requires that structures, systems, and components important to safety be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed. General Design Cri- terion 2, "Design Bases for Protection Against Natural Phenomena," requires that structures, systems, and com- ponents important to safety be designed to withstand the effects of natural phenomena such as earthquakes. General Design Criterion 5, "Sharing of Structures, Systems, and Components," prohibits the sharing of structures, systems, and components important to safety among nuclear power units unless it can be shown that such sharing will not significantly impair their ability to perform their safety functions. In addition, General Design Criterion 61, "Fuel Storage and Handling and Radioactivity Control," requires, in part, that be1l storage and handling systems be designed to ensure adequate safety under normal accident condition. n- Regulatory Guide 1.13, "Spent Fuel Sto:a-e Facility Design Basis," describes methods acceptable to the NRC staff for complying with the Comi-mssion's regulations with regard to the construction of spent fuel storage facilities and 1 handling systems. Appendix B, "Quality, Assurance Criteria for Nu- clear Power Plantsaind FueVlReprocessing Plants," to 10 CFR Part 50 rCquITr•, in .part, that measures be estab- lished to ensure oontrol-fdesign, materials, fabrication, special processes, installation, testing, and operation of structures, systems, and components important to safety, including crane handling systems.
