Narrative

Report for LER 50-321/1982-097 On 11-16-82, with Unit 1 in a Torus / Refueling outage, several spent fuel bundles were being visually inspected.

A rod had been removed from one of the bundles and was being placed in an inspection fixture for visual inspection when the rod broke into two pieces.

The lower piece fell into a control rod blade holder.

The upper piece remained attached to the handling tool.

No fuel or gases were released when the rod broke.

The health and safety of the public were not affected by this non-repetitive event.

The cause of this event was severely degraded cladding at the point of separation.

The degradation of the cladding was apparently caused by the localized corrosion.

The handling of the rod was enough to cause it to break.

The rod will be placed back into the bundle and the bundle will be separated from good bundles and flagged in plant records so as to prevent its reuse.
