Title | Failure to Initiate Smart Form for Damage to Steam Generator Tubes Due to Loose Parts |
Description | The inspectors identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, for the failure to follow procedures that require initiating a Smart Form for damage to safety-related equipment. The licensee failed to initiate a Smart Form when multiple loose parts were discovered in the steam generators during refueling outages that had damaged the tubes to varying degrees. Therefore, the licensee did not identify sources of loose parts and potential corrective actions. The licensee entered the finding into their corrective action program as Smart Form SMF-2009-001069-00. The finding was more than minor because if the licensee continues to fail to document damage to safety-related equipment in the Smart Form database, there is potential that this could lead to a more significant safety concern, in that, the cause of the damage will not be evaluated and corrected. Once entered into the Smart Form database, a review of the loose parts was conducted. Although the licensee could not identify sources for any of the parts, similar reviews in the future could reasonably produce corrective actions that would not have been taken without the reviews. Using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix J, Steam Generator Tube Integrity Findings Significance Determination Process, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because none of the tested tubes failed the in situ pressure tests. The cause of this finding was related to the Problem Identification and Resolution crosscutting component of the corrective action program, in that, the licensee failed to enter the issue into their corrective action program P1.a] |
