| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | The following licensee-identified violation of NRC requirements was determined to be of very low safety significance and met the NRC Enforcement Policy criteria for being dispositioned as an NCV. 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, required, in part, thatmeasures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected. Contrary to the above, from May 2011 to September 26, 2017, Browns Ferry staff had not identified that a Reactor Building Crane degraded, adverse condition existed. The crane, which supports the safety-related movement function for irradiated fuel assemblies, had not been meeting the required Single Failure-Proof qualification as described in the Final Safety Analysis Report section 12.2.2.5 and licensee commitments to NRC NUREG 0554 since the last wire rope replacement in May 2011. Review for cause by the licensee determined that the Main Hoist Equalizer Arm had been resting on one of its stops, causing a loss of the shock absorbing Single Failure function. The finding screens to green per IMC 0609 Appendix A, Exhibit 3 as it was a only a qualification issue that did not cause mechanical damage to fuel, did not result in a loss of spent fuel pool water inventory, and did not affect SFP component placements. The licensee entered this issue into the CAP as CR 1341964. Immediate corrective action was to reestablish the Single Failure qualification per WO 119082082. |
