Subject:
Vermont Yankee Proposed Change No. 133, Spent Fuel Pool Expansion - Response to Request for Additional Information (Rack Lifting Rig Designs)
Dear Sir:
In response to your recent request, Vermont Yankee herein provides additional information concerning the rack lifting rig designs associated with our proposed spent fuel pool expansion Technical Specification change submittal [ Reference (b)].
The NES lifting device has been designed and verified to meet the stress and redundancy criteria of NUREG-0612. The preoperational load test for each lift system will consist of 150% of the empty spent fuel rack weight or a total test load equal to 60,000 lbs.
The Type R lifting tool for installing the NES designed spent fuel racks consists of two components. The first component is a strongback which is a fabricated structure. The second component consists of four lifting arms which protrude downward from the strongback through four open cells in the NES racks.
These directly engage the NES rack base plate.
The strongback provides redundant load paths to the Reactor Building crane, one to the crane sister hook, and the second to the crano lifting eye.
This design conplies Wj.
