| Title | Failure to Maintain Separation of Metal Containers and Combustible Radwaste |
| Description | A finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of the Fermi 2 Facility Operating License Condition 2.C(9),for the fire protection program, was identified by the inspectors for the licensees failure to ensure combustible radwaste was not stored with spent charcoal filter material and HEPA filters. Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure the radwaste combustible material for the cleanup of the December 2010 resin spill was not in the same storage area as the metal containers in the on-site storage facility as required by Updated Final Safety Analysis (UFSAR) Chapter 11, Radwaste Waste Management, Section 7.2.2.4, Onsite Storage Facility, Fire Protection. This issue was placed in the licensees corrective action program as CARD 11-28704, NRC Issue with Resin Storage in the Offsite Storage Facility. The site has taken action to separate the material as required by the UFSAR. The finding was more than minor because if left uncorrected, the storage of the combined material in bay 1 and bay 4, could lead to a more significant safety concern in that the potential for an unplanned radiation release was possible. The licensee was using the area for storage of the metal containers and normal combustible radwaste. A fire in this area of the plant has the potential to affect radioactive material. The finding affected the Public Radiation Safety Cornerstone, Radioactive Material Control Program. Screening under IMC 0609, Appendix D, Public Radiation Protection Significance Determination Process was required. Based on a review of Appendix D, the inspectors concluded that the exposure received would be less than 0.005 rem total effective dose equivalent. Therefore, the finding screened to very low safety significance (Green). This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Work Control, because the licensee failed to coordinate work activities between Radiation Protection and Fire Protection groups to ensure combustible material was not stored with the metal containers in accordance with the UFSAR. |
