| Title | |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and associated Severity Level IV NCV of Technical Specification 5.6.5(c), Reactor Coolant System Pressure and Temperature Limits Report (PTLR), for the failure to submit a revised PTLR to the NRC for a new fluence period. Specifically, TS 5.6.5(c) required the PTLR be provided to the NRC for each reactor fluence period. Based on the references in TS 5.6.5(b), the fluence period for revision 1 of the PTLR could not be extended past February 2004. The licensee inappropriately extended the existing PTLR applicability limit past this date and did not submit a revised PTLR as required. Corrective actions included submittal of the revised PTLR (revision 2) on November 15, 2007.This finding was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the design control attribute of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Specifically, the curve used to define plant operating limits for acceptable pressure and temperature conditions for protection against failure of the reactor vessel was not valid after February 2004.The finding is not suitable for SDP evaluation under the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone, but has been reviewed by NRC management and is determined to be a finding of very low safety significance. Specifically, subsequent calculations using an NRC approved methodology determined that the Point Beach Unit 1 reactor vessel was not outside of the safety limits and was fully capable of performing the required service. The inspectors determined that the finding does not have an associated cross-cutting aspect.(Section 4OA5.1 |
