| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | The licensee identified a non-cited violation of very low safety significance of 10 CFR 72.150,Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings. Title 10 CFR 72.150, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, requires, in part, that activities affecting quality be prescribed by documented procedures of a type appropriate to the circumstances and be accomplished in accordance with these procedures. The licensee established PBF5101, Fuel/Insert/Component Movement Authorization, Revision 17, as the implementing procedure for dry fuel storage fuel loading, an activity affecting quality. Procedure PBF5101 contains instructions for fuel handlers to move specific fuel assemblies from specific spent fuel pool locations into specific dry shielded canisters (DSCs) and DSC locations. Contrary to the above, on July 18, 2016, the licensee failed to follow PBF5101. Specifically, the licensee was utilizing a PBF5101 labeled for DSC25 during the loading of DSC24. This resulted in three fuel assemblies being incorrectly loaded into DSC24. The license entered the issue into its corrective action program under AR 02144237, dated July 18, 2016, and initiated actions to perform an apparent causal evaluation. The inspectors identified that DSC24 and DSC25 have identical design characteristics and therefore there was no actual safety significance to this event. Consistent with the guidance in Section 2.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy, ISFSIs are not subject to the Significance Determination Process and, thus, traditional enforcement will be used for this issue. However, the inspectors determined that the violation significance could be informed by the significance determination process as no similar violations existed in the enforcement policy violations examples. The inspectors determined that the violation could be evaluated using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 04, Initial Characterization of Findings, and Appendix A, Exhibit 3, Barrier Integrity Screening Questions. This resulted in the violation screening as Severity Level IV. |
