| Title | Failure to Identify and Correct the Lack of Calibration for the HE-2 Crane Load Weighing System |
| Description | The inspectors identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B Criterion XVI for the failure to identify and correct a condition adverse to quality. Specifically, with regard to the calibration of the load weighing system for the HE-2 crane prior to its use in lifting the spent fuel transfer cask, loaded with spent fuel, out of the spent fuel pool. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report 2009-3186. The failure by the licensee to promptly identify and correct the condition whereby the HE-2 crane load weighing system had not been calibrated or tested for an extended period of time leading up to its use during the lift of the spent fuel transfer cask on July 7, 2009, is a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it adversely impacted the spent fuel pool fuel handling attribute of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone objective of providing reasonable assurance that physical design barriers (fuel cladding) protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Specifically, the licensee failed on more than one occasion to identify and correct a condition whereby the load cell for the HE-2 crane was neither calibrated nor tested prior to lifting the spent fuel transfer cask, loaded with spent fuel, out of the spent fuel pool. Using Attachment 4 of Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, the inspectors determined that this finding has a very low safety significance (Green) because it did not result in a fuel handling error that caused damage to fuel clad integrity or a dropped assembly. The finding was not found to be indicative of current plant performance and thus no crosscutting aspect was identified |
