| 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 Procedure EN-MA-118, Foreign Material Exclusion, Revision 5. Specifically, on multiple occasions during Refueling Outage 2R20, licensee personnel failed to implement appropriate foreign material exclusion controls in areas designated as Zone 1 foreign material exclusion areas in accordance with Procedure EN-MA-118. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report ANO-2-2009-2843. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it affected the human performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone and directly affected the cornerstone objective of providing reasonable assurance that physical barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events, and is therefore a finding. Furthermore, the significant programmatic deficiencies that were identified associated with this issue could lead to more significant 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 Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Phase 1 Worksheets, this finding was determined to have a 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 define and effectively communicate expectations regarding procedural compliance which resulted in a failure to follow procedure by worker |
