| Title | Inspection Procedure for Reactor Pressure Vessel Head Strongback and Steam Dryer/Separator Lifting Device Omitted Testing Requirements |
| Description | A finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures and Drawings, was identified by the NRC inspectors. Specifically, the licensee failed to perform dimensional testing of the reactor pressure vessel head strongback and the steam dryer/steam separator lifting device required by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) N14.6-1978. In addition, the license failed to perform nondestructive testing of steam dryer/steam separator lifting device major load carrying welds and critical areas required by ANSI N14.6-1978. These issues were entered into the licensees corrective action program. The finding was determined to be more than minor because the finding was associated with the Initiating Events Cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown. Specifically, the purpose of the dimensional testing of reactor pressure vessel head strongback and steam dryer/steam separator lifting device and nondestructive testing of the steam dryer/steam separator lifting device major load carrying welds and critical areas is to limit the likelihood of a reactor pressure vessel head strongback or steam dryer/steam separator lifting device structural component failure, and hence, to ensure safe load handling of heavy loads over the reactor core or over safety-related systems, structures and components. The inspectors determined the finding was of very low safety significance following a qualitative significance determination process review performed by the Region III Senior Risk Analyst. The inspector did not identify a cross-cutting aspect associated with this finding because the concern was related to licensing basis established in the 1980s, and thus was not necessarily indicative of current licensee performance. |
