TO REFUELING) l REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Auxiliary Systems Branch (ASB) Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The ASB reviews the light load handling system (LLHS) consisting of all components and equipment used in handling new fuel from the receiving station to the loading of the spent fuel into the shipping cask to assure conformance with the requirements of General 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 criti- cality accidents, radioactivity releases resulting from damage to irradiated fuel, and unacceptable personnel radiation exposures. 1. The ASB reviews the grappling, rigging, hoisting and transporting operations in the light load handling system as to methods, selection of handling I equipment, and safety devices. 2. The ASB reviews the design of the LLHS with respect to the following aspects of individual components and the integrated system: a. Performance and load handling requirements specified for equipment. 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. Rev. 2 - 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.
