REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Auxiliary Systems Branch (ASB) Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The ASB reviews the overhead heavy load handling systems (OHLHS) consisting of all components and equipment used in moving all heavy loads, i.e., loads weighing more than one fuel assembly and its associated handling device at the plant site to assure conformance with the requirements of General Design Criteria 2, 5 and 61. The design layout, which shows the functional geometric layout of the handling equipment, including the areas of movement over and around the fixed locations of safety-related facilities during the handling of heavy loads, is reviewed to determine that the various handling operations can be performed safely. The main emphasis in the OHLHS review is on critical load handling in which inadvertent operations or equipment malfunctions, either separately or in combination, could cause a release of radioactivity, a criticality accident, the inability to cool fuel within the reactor vessel or spent fuel pool or prevent safe shutdown of the reactor. 1. The ASB reviews the transporting, hoisting, and rigging operations in the OHLHS as to methods, selection of handling equipment, and safety devices. 2. The ASB reviews the design of those OHLH systems used in critical load handling operations, i.e. those loads which, if dropped have the potential of leading to unacceptable consequences. This review encompasses the following areas: a. the specified performance and load handling requirements as compared to the actual requirements, b. the adequacy of the design, fabrication, installation, inspection, and testing requirements, Rev. 0 - July 1981 USNRC STANDARD REVIEW PLAN Standard review plans are prepared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power plants.
