Appendix A, Operating Experience
OE14316, Failure of Upper Limit Switch Causes Fuel Cask Auxiliary Hook and Block to Fall 70 Feet
Summary:
1
On June 4, 2002, with Salem Unit 1 at 100 percent power and following crane activities in the fuel
2 building, a crane operator performed activities to stow the pendant operated 3-ton rated auxiliary
hook on the fuel cask crane. The crane operator raised the hook, relying on the anti two-block switch
3 to stop the auxiliary hoist movement. The switch failed and the hook continued to rise, snapping the
cable. The block and hook fell 70 feet to the floor.
4
5 The cause of the event was a failure of the hoist upper limit switch. Follow-up testing indicated the
switch would intermittently fail.
6
7 Human performance deficiencies contributed to the event in that the crane operator did not inch the
hoist into the upper limit switch at a very slow speed as directed by training and procedure and he
8 relied on the upper limit switch as a stop control during normal operation.
9
Corrective actions include adjusting the hoist brake, inspecting the block and hook, load testing hoist
10 after reassembly, testing Unit 2 crane's limit switch, and inspecting other cranes limit switches. N
Future corrective actions include replacing the hoist cable, revising training lesson plans to E
11 X
emphasize not to rely on the limit switches to stop, and evaluating the installing an additional limit T
A switch to both unit's cask handling cranes.
P
B R
This event is not significant because there was no damage to other equipment or personnel injury. E
C This event is NOTEWORTHY because of the potential for serious personnel injury and equipment V
damage. 69

Appendix B
What should you know about using synthetic web slings?

1. Synthetic web slings are easily cut and have poor abrasion resistance when compared with chain and wire rope
slings.
2. Nylon slings are damaged by acids, but resist caustics.
3. Polyester slings are damaged by caustics but resist acids.
4. Sunlight, moisture, and temperatures above 90C (194F) damage both nylon and polyester slings.
5. Use slings made of the right material for the job.
1 6. Check the manufacturers' slings for code number and rated capacity. Reference charts showing slings and hitch
rated capacities are available from manufacturers.
2 7. Inspect slings before using them.
8. Keep an inspection record for each sling.
3 What should you check when selecting slings?
1. Refer to the manufacturer's reference chart for the capacity rating.
4 2. Check a sling before using it.
3. Determine the weight of the load.
5 4. Prevent loading more than the rated capacity by considering sling angle.
5. Protect webbing from sharp corners, protrusions, or abrasive surfaces.
6
6. Ensure that the sling choking action is on the webbing, not the hardware.
7 7. Have slings repaired by a sling manufacturer only.
What should you avoid when using slings?
8 1. Do not drag slings across floors or other abrasive surfaces.
2. Do not drop slings with metal fittings.
9 3. Do not set loads down on top of slings.
4. Do not pull slings from under loads when the load is resting on the sling.
10 5. Do not weld anything hung from a sling. N
6. Do not lengthen or shorten slings by tying knots. E
