| Title | Failure to perform adequate written 50.59 evaluation. |
| Description | The inspectors identified an AV of 10 CFR 50.59(d)(1) for failure to maintain records that include a written evaluation which provides the bases for the determination that a change, test, or experiment does not require a license amendment. Specifically, the licensee received NRC approval to make changes to the facility via license amendment No. 234 dated July 17, 2007, involving the design of the spent fuel pool storage racks, including the use of Metamic inserts and other hardware, administrative controls and testing methods, to assure that the spent fuel remains within design limits. Subsequent to the NRCs approval, the licensee determined that Metamic inserts could not be installed by the date approved by the NRC. However, the licensee maintained no written evaluation which provided the bases for the determination that the change to the design of the spent fuel pool storage racks, without the use of Metamic inserts, did not require a license amendment pursuant to paragraph (c)(2) of 10 CFR 50.59.The finding was more than minor because it impacted the regulatory process which depends on plant activities being properly evaluated and, when required, reviewed and approved by NRC. Because this finding impacted the regulatory process, it was evaluated using traditional enforcement and is being considered for escalated enforcement action in accordance with NRCs Enforcement Policy. The inspectors determined that the cross-cutting aspect of Human Performance, (H.4(c)) is applicable to this issue because the licensee did not ensure supervisory and management oversight of work activities, including contractors, such that nuclear safety is supported, when errors in administering Technical Specification requirements and programmatic controls which assure safety were not effectively implemented. |
