| Title | Failure to Ensure Adequate Negative Differential Pressure During Fuel Movements |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green NCV of TS 3.9.12, Fuel Handling Area Ventilation System, when PSEG did not suspend Unit 1 fuel movement operations when the fuel handling area ventilation system was inoperable. Specifically, differential pressure exceeded its alarm setpoint, and at times, was positive during irradiated fuel movements. Once aware of the issue, PSEG immediately suspended fuel movement, placed fuel assemblies in a safe condition, and entered the issue in their CAP as notifications 20677427 and 20678063. The issue was determined to be more than minor since it affected the configuration control/barrier performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity cornerstone and adversely affected its objective to provide reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. The finding was screened using IMC 0609, Attachment 4 and Appendix A, Exhibit 3.C for Barrier Integrity screening questions involving the spent fuel pool building. Since the finding only represented a degradation of the radiological barrier function provided for the spent fuel pool, the finding screened to Green. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in Human Performance, Procedure Adherence, in that individuals follow processes, procedures, and instructions. Specifically, PSEG operators did not follow alarm response and general operating procedures, did not use human error reduction techniques with respect to receipt of multiple low FHB D/P alarms, and manipulated irradiated fuel when not appropriately authorized and directed by procedures. |
