The inspectors identified a
Severity Level IV, Non-Cited Violation of
10 CFR 50.59(d)(1) for failure to perform a written evaluation of increased design loads on a crane and the auxiliary building. The licensee performed a calculation to demonstrate the capability of the auxiliary building to hold a single-failureproof crane with a 125-ton load during a seismic event. After the inspectorsidentified that no written evaluation had been performed, the licensee completed the evaluation and concluded that a license amendment was not required as a result of increased design loads. Because violations of
10 CFR 50.59 affect the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function, this finding was evaluated using the traditional enforcement process. In accordance with the
NRC Enforcement Policy, this finding is determined to be more than minor because there was a reasonable likelihood that the change requiring the 10 cfr 50.59 evaluation would require NRC review and approval prior to implementation. This finding has been reviewed by NRC management and is determined to be a Green finding, of very low safety significance.
