| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | NUHOMS Certificate of Compliance 1030, Amendment 0, Technical Specifications 2.1.c, Functional and Operating Limits, requires, in part, that the spent nuclear fuel stored in each 32PTH DSC/HSM-H at the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) is to be qualified for four (4) heat load zones designated as Zones 1a, 1b, 2 and 3. Contrary to this requirement, the licensee identified that it failed to properly load fuel assemblies into seven NUHOMS Dry Shielded Canisters (DSCs) resulting in the fuel assemblies exceeding the decay heat limit for the loading zones in two of the four center zones. Specifically, the Zone 1a and Zone 1b locations were reversed, resulting in the DSC Zone 1b heat load limits being exceeded (by less than 7.5 per cent in the worst case) at the time of loading. An evaluation performed by the licensee showed that all of the affected DSCs are currently in a safe condition as loaded in the HSMs. This issue is in the licensees CAP as CR419242, NUHOMS DSCs Loaded to Incorrect Heat Load Limits for Specific Orientation. This Severity Level IV violation is being treated as a non-cited violation (NCV), consistent with Section 2.3.2.b of the NRC Enforcement Policy; specifically, the violation was identified by the licensee, the issue was placed into the licensees CAP, the violation was not repetitive as a result of inadequate corrective action, and the violation was not willful.
