| Title | Placing a Fuel Bundle in the Wrong Cell During Fuel Shuffle |
| Description | A self-revealed finding of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by the inspectors for placing a fuel bundle in the wrong cell during a fuel shuffle in the spent fuel pool. The error was noted later in the fuel shuffle when another bundle was moved to the same location, and the operators noted that the cell was filled. Specifically, on November 1, 2011, movement of spent fuel in the Spent Fuel Pool was taking place in preparation for testing of boron concentration in the high density racks. While performing step 150 of the approved MES32003, Special Nuclear Material/Component Transfer Form, the presence of a fuel bundle already occupying the target location (4N-12) for step 150 was self-revealed. The Refuel Floor Coordinator was informed, and the bundle was returned to its original starting location. This issue was placed in the licensees corrective action program as CARD 11-29841, Fuel Move Error in Spent Fuel Pool. The inspectors determined that this finding was more than minor because if left uncorrected the performance deficiency had the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. This finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because all the screening questions in IMC 0609 Attachment 0609.04 Table 4a, Characterization Worksheet for IE, MS, and BI Cornerstones were answered no . This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, work practices because the licensee failed to provide direct licensed operator oversight (H.4(c)) of fuel handling operations in the spent fuel pool. |
