| Title | Failure to maintain FSAR description of Unit 3 spent fuel pool activities |
| Description | The inspectors identified an apparent violation of 10 CFR Part 50.71(e) requirements to periodically update the final safety analysis report so that the report contains effects of changes made to the facility such that the FSAR is complete and accurate. As of December 2009, changes made to manage the Unit 3 spent fuel pool since 2001, including neutron attenuation testing methods and results, use of computer programs such as RACKLIFE, and the use of alternate means of assuring that the spent fuel remains shutdown, such as rod control cluster assembly inserts and water holes, were not described in the FSAR. When identified to the licensee by the inspectors, the licensee documented the condition in condition report 2009-34470, and informed the NRC (in letter L-2009-295, dated December 31, 2009) of plans to make appropriate updates to the FSAR descriptions by March 15, 2010.
The finding was more that minor because it impacted the regulatory process which depends on plant activities being properly documented. The inspectors evaluated this finding against NRC IMC 0609 Phase 1 Screening Worksheet for Initiating Events, Mitigation Systems, and Barriers Cornerstones. The inspectors determined that IMC 0609, Appendix M is required to determine the level of safety significance of this finding because the existing SDP guidance is not adequate to provide reasonable estimates of the finding significance within the established SDP timeliness goal of 90 days. NRC staff is currently reviewing this finding to determine the level of safety significance or enforcement aspect of the issue. (4OA2) (IR# 05000250, 251/2009005 dated January 28, 2010) A Non-cited Violation 05000250/201009-03 was identified for failure to update the FSAR in accordance with 10 CFR 50.71(e) so that the report accurately reflects significant changes made to the facility. (IR# 05000250/2010009 dated June 21, 2010). |
