Finding

Title

Failure to Adequately Implement Foreign Material Exclusion Controls

Description

The inspectors identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, associated with the licensees failure to adequately implement procedures SO123-I-3.7, Refueling Foreign Material Exclusion Control, Revision 6, and SO123-I-1.18, Foreign Material Exclusion, Revision 14. Specifically, between January 12, 2010, and February 23, 2010, multiple occasions were identified during Refueling Outage U2C16, where licensee personnel failed to implement appropriate foreign material exclusion controls in areas designated as Zone 1 foreign material exclusion areas. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Nuclear Notifications NNs 200760484, 200742082, 200743834 and 200805961. The finding is greater than minor because it is associated with the human performance attribute of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone and affects the cornerstone objective of providing reasonable assurance that physical barriers protect the public from radionuclide releases caused by accidents or events. Furthermore, the programmatic deficiencies that were identified associated with this issue would have the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern, if left uncorrected. Specifically, licensee personnels continued failure to implement appropriate foreign material exclusion controls would result in degradation and adverse impacts on materials and systems associated with the spent fuel pool or the reactor cavity. Using the Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix G, Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process, Phase 1 guidance, the finding is determined to have very low safety significance because the finding did not result in an increase in the likelihood of a loss of reactor coolant system inventory, degrade the ability to add reactor coolant system inventory, or degrade the ability to recover decay heat removal. This finding had a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with work practices because the licensee failed to define and effectively communicate expectations regarding procedural compliance which resulted in a failure to follow procedure by licensee personne
