| Title | Failure to Adequately Implement Foreign Material Exclusion Controls |
| Description | The inspectors identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, associated with the licensees failure to adequately implement Station Procedure EN-MA-118, Revision 4, Foreign Material Exclusion. Specifically, on multiple occasions during Refueling Outage 1R21, the licensee failed to implement appropriate foreign material exclusion controls in areas designated as Zone 1 foreign material exclusion areas in accordance with Station Procedure EN-MA-118. This issue was entered into the licensee\'s corrective action program as Condition Report ANO-1-2008-2491. The finding was more than minor because it was similar to the non minor considerations of Example 3.j in NRC Manual Chapter 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, in that significant programmatic deficiencies were identified associated with this issue that could lead to worse errors if left uncorrected. Specifically, station personnels continued failure to implement appropriate foreign material exclusion controls would result in the introduction of foreign material into critical areas, such as the spent fuel pool or the reactor cavity, which in turn would result in degradation and adverse impacts on materials and systems associated with these areas. Using NRC Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Phase 1 worksheet, the finding was determined to have very low safety significance because the finding was only associated with the fuel barrier. This finding had a crosscutting aspect in the area of Human Performance associated with Work Practices H.4(b) in that the licensee failed to effectively train personnel on the foreign material exclusion procedure which resulted in a failure to follow procedure by workers and supervisors |
