REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Auxiliary Systems Branch (ASB)Plant Systems Branch (SPLB)1 Secondary - NoneCivil Engineering and Geosciences Branch (ECGB)2 I. AREAS OF REVIEW The ASBSPLB reviews the light load handling system (LLHS) consisting of all components 3 and equipment used in handling new fuel from the receiving station to the loading of the spent fuel into the shipping cask to assureensure conformance with the requirements of General 4 Design Criteria 2, 5, 61, and 62. The design layout, which shows the functional geometric layout of the handling equipment, which defines the travel paths through, over and around rigid objects during fuel handling, is reviewed to determine that the various handling operations can be performed safely. The objective of the LLHS review is the avoidance of criticality accidents, radioactivity releases resulting from damage to irradiated fuel, and unacceptable personnel radiation exposures. 1. The ASBSPLB reviews the grappling, rigging, hoisting, and transporting operations in 5 the light load handling system as to methods, selection of handling equipment, and safety devices. 2. The ASBSPLB reviews the design of the LLHS with respect to the following aspects of 6 individual components and the integrated system: a. Performance and load handling requirements specified for equipment. DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 9.1.4-2 b. The methods and equipment for transferring fuel assemblies from the reactor core to the storage location. c. The electrical and/or mechanical interlocks provided to prevent criticality accidents, damage to fuel and excessive personnel exposure. d. The methods and equipment for transferring stored fuel to the spent fuel shipping cask. 4. ASB also performs the following reviews under the SRP sections indicated: 7 a. Review of flood protection is performed under SRP Section 3.4.1, b. Review of the protection against internally generated missiles is performed under SRP Section 3.5.1.1, c. Review of the structures,
