| Title | |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and an NCV of10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, Test Control. The inspectors determined that the licensee failed to perform required nondestructive testing on the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) head strongback. Specifically, on February 25, 2009, the licensee failed to conduct a complete nondestructive examination (NDE) of a structural weld associated with the strongback lifting device. As part of their corrective actions, the licensee entered the issue into its corrective action program and performed a functionality assessment of the RPV head strongback, prior to lifting the RPV head, to assure that the strongback could perform its design function. The finding was determined to be more than minor because the finding was associated with the Initiating Events cornerstone attribute of equipment performance and affected the cornerstone objective to limit the likelihood of those events that upset plant stability and challenge critical safety functions during shutdown operations. Specifically, the purpose of the NDE testing of RPV head strongback major load carrying welds and critical areas is to limit the likelihood of an RPV head strongback structural component failure, and hence, to assure safe load handling of heavy loads over the reactor core or over safety-related systems. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance following a qualitative SDP review. The primary cause of this finding was related to the cross-cutting area of Problem Identification and Resolution per IMC 0305 P.1(c), because the licensee failed to thoroughly evaluate corrective actions to ensure they appropriately addressed the identified issue |
