| Title | Failure to Perform Functionality Assessments for the Spent Fuel Pool Cooling System |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding associated with the failure of operations personnel to follow procedures used to perform functionality assessments. Specifically, operations personnel failed to provide sufficient technical justification for the reasonable assurance of functionality of the spent fuel pool cooling system when boric acid leaks were identified on discharge header vent valve AC-898. Vent valve AC-898 was replaced and the issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report 2015-05856. The failure of operations personnel to follow station procedures to perform functionality assessments was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it adversely affected 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. In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, The Significance Determination Process (SDP) for Findings At-Power, Exhibit 3, Barrier Integrity Screening Questions, the issue screened as having very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not adversely affect decay heat removal capabilities from the spent fuel pool causing the pool temperature to exceed the maximum analyzed temperature limit specified in the site-specific licensing basis, did not result from fuel handling errors, dropped fuel assembly, dropped storage cask, or crane operations over the SFP that caused mechanical damage to fuel clad and a detectible release of radionuclides, did not result in a loss of spent fuel pool water inventory decreasing below the minimum analyzed level limit specified in the site-specific licensing basis, and did not affect the SFP neutron absorber, fuel bundle misplacement or soluble boron concentration. The inspectors determined that the finding had a training cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance because the licensee did not provide training and ensure knowledge transfer to maintain a knowledgeable, technically competent workforce and instill nuclear safety values.
