The NRC identified a non-cited violation for Entergys failure to take timely corrective action, as required by
10CFR50.65(a)(1), after the reactor building crane (
RBC) exceeded reliability performance goals. Specifically, from April 12, 2007, when the
RBC was classified as (a)(1), until May 12, 2008, when the
RBC brakes failed to function during the movement of a spent fuel storage cask, Entergy failed to take corrective actions in response to the
RBC not meeting established goals. This issue was entered into the licensee\'s corrective action program as Condition Report CR 2008-2043. The issue is greater than minor because the failure to implement timely corrective actions resulted in the failure of the
RBC brakes during the movement of a spent fuel storage cask. The finding is not suitable for evaluation under the
Significance Determination Process, but has been reviewed by NRC management and was determined to be a finding of very low safety significance (Green) because the spent fuel storage cask was in an approved load path, and the refuel floor allowed the brakes to engage when sufficient load was removed from the hoist. This finding has a crosscutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Corrective Action Program, in that Entergy failed to take appropriate corrective actions to address safety issues and adverse trends in a timely manner, commensurate with their safety significance and complexity.
