CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
A.
ACTION TAKEN TO RETURN AFFECTED SYSTEMS TO PRE-EVENT NORMAL STATUS:
The face adjacent category "B" assemblies (F44 and Z26) were moved to an acceptable storage location within the spent fuel pool.
B.
ACTION TAKEN OR PLANNED TO PREVENT RECURRENCE:
The procedure utilized for fuel and core component movement has been revised with a note stating that all consolidated fuel canisters are classified as "A2" based on the contained fuel assemblies and that the categorization will not change (i.e. go to a lower reactivity category) in the future since the contained assemblies have decayed for greater than the longest interval in the technical specification curves (20 yrs). This effectively removes the possibility of another error that caused the mis-classification of this type.
