| Title | Failure to Comply with ASME B30.16 for Planned Engineered Lifts |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance for the licensees failure to meet American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code requirements to perform planned engineering lifts of loads that exceeded a hoists rated capacity. Specifically, on September 25 and September 26, 2013, the licensee used the Unit 2 turbine building reactor feed pump monorail hoist to perform multiple lifts of floor plugs. The weight of the floor plugs exceeded the rated capacity of the hoist and the licensee did not follow the requirements of ASME Code B30.16, Section 16-3.4, Planned Engineered Lifts, for lifts in excess of the rated load. These requirements include, in part, inspections, calculations, test lifts, distances traveled, and record keeping and retention. The Code also limits the number of lifts to two within any continuous 12-month period without meeting additional requirements. The licensee captured this issue in their CAP as Condition Assessment Resolution Document (CARD) 15-30077. No violation of regulatory requirements was identified. The performance deficiency was of more than minor safety significance because if left uncorrected, it would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. Specifically, if the hoist failed, and a heavy object were to fall through the turbine building hatch opening, it could cause a loss of condenser vacuum and subsequent plant trip or possibly a steam leak into the turbine building. The finding was of very low safety significance because it did not cause a reactor trip. The inspectors determined this finding affected the cross-cutting aspect of problem identification and resolution, evaluation (P.2) due to the failure of the organization to thoroughly evaluate issues to ensure resolutions address causes and extend of condition commensurate with their safety significance. Specifically, the licensee failed to evaluate thoroughly the causes for not complying with ASME Code requirements once a lift exceeded a hoists rated capacity had occurred. Therefore, effective corrective actions and an extent of condition were not identified. |
