PURPOSE OF SEISMIC SCAFFOLD
To provide guidelines and installation
requirements
for scaffolds built in safety related areas
with regard to both personnel safety and
plant equipment operability.

SCAFFOLD IN NUCLEAR PLANT
4
Temporary tube and coupler scaffolds are often used at nuclear plants for various maintenance activities.
Scaffolds are not safety related.
Scaffolds are designed for dead weight and live load.
Scaffolds are unanchored, i.e. free standing.
SEISMIC SCAFFOLD
5
In case of a seismic event, free standing scaffolds could slide, oscillate and tip over.

NRC INFORMATION NOTOCE 2007-29
To alert licensees about recent operating experience at nuclear power facilities where temporary scaffolding installed to support maintenance activity has affected the operability of safety-related equipment.
The NRC expects that recipients will review the information for applicability to their facilities and consider actions, as appropriate, to avoid similar problems.
