Authorization Basis Safety Classification of Transfer Bay Bridge Crane at the 105-K Basins
Abstract
This supporting document provides the bases for the safety classification for the K Basin transfer bay bridge crane and the bases for the Structures, Systems, and Components (SSC) safety classification. A table is presented that delineates the safety significant components. This safety classification is based on a review of the Authorization Basis (AB). This Authorization Basis review was performed regarding AB and design baseline issues. The primary issues are: (1) What is the AB for the safety classification of the transfer bay bridge crane? (2) What does the SSC safety classification ''Safety Significant'' or ''Safety Significant for Design Only'' mean for design requirements and quality requirements for procurement, installation and maintenance (including replacement of parts) activities for the crane during its expected life time? The AB information on the crane was identified based on review of Department of Energy--Richland Office (RL) and Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) Project correspondence, K Basin Safety Analysis Report (SAR) and RL Safety Evaluation Reports (SERs) of SNF Project SAR submittals. The relevant correspondence, actions and activities taken and substantive directions or conclusions of these documents are provided in Appendix A.

Design and safety basis sludge characterization from exposure-adjusted radioisotopic source terms for N reactor fuel stored at K-East and K-West basins
The Safeguards and Accountability database was used as the primary source document for exposure data for spent N Reactor fuel stored at the K-East and K-West basins. This database is a listing of all keys (ie., groups of fuel discharged from the reactor at the same time), and the exposure for that key, mass of uranium in the key, fuel type (whether Mark IV or Mark IA), and several other parameters. There are nearly five hundred records (keys) in this database. Figure 1 illustrates an N Reactor Mark IV fuel assembly. The axial length of the endcap is approximately 0.19more » -
Hazards classification determination for PUREX fuel transfer to K-Basins
The PUREX Plant presently contains 2.9 metric tons of an aluminum clad Single Pass Reactor (SPR) fuel which is stored under water in four open top buckets in the PUREX slug storage basin. The PUREX dissolver cells contain approximately 0.5 metric tons of zirconium clad N Reactor fuel which was inadvertently placed into the process cell during charging operations. The dissolver N reactor elements will be recovered from the process floors using new crane operated tools. When the fuel shipment(s) is scheduled, the cask cars will be positioned into the PUREX rail tunnel and the overhead door will be opened.more » -
Nuclear criticality safety analysis and technical basis for the storage of N-reactor fuels in K-reactor basins: 1900 ton capacity
A nuclear criticality safety analysis was carried out for storing 1450 tons of irradiated Mark-IV fuel assemblies in KE irradiated fuel storage basin using unirradiated fuel critical mass parameters. Calculations in support of the safety analysis considered an alternate to the 1450 ton fuel storage configurations. The alternate storage scheme would utilize all available storage space and increase the capacity of the basin to 1900 tons of fuel. Although the calculations indicated a full utilization of the basin floor space would present no nuclear criticality problems, the acceptance of the 1900 ton storage configuration would be dependent on a seriesmore » -
