A licensee-identified violation of Hatch Unit 1
Technical Specification 5.4, Procedures, occurred on February 10, 2014, when operators withdrew the wrong
control rod during performance of procedure
34GO-OPS-066-0,
Control Rod Withdrawal in Shutdown or Refuel.
Technical Specification 5.4.a. requires in part that written procedures shall be implemented covering the applicable procedures recommended in
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 1.l. requires procedures for refueling and core alternations. Hatch procedure
34GO-OPS-066-0 is a procedure developed for performing activities during refueling and core alterations. Contrary to the above, on February 10, 2014, the licensee failed to implement procedure
34GO-OPS-066-0 when
control rod 42-47 was fully withdrawn outside of procedural controls. This violation screened as Green in accordance with
IMC 0609, Appendix G, Figure 1, because the
IMC 0609, Appendix G, Attachment 1, Checklist 7, screening did not require a quantitative assessment to be performed. The licensee entered this violation into their corrective action program as CR 771623.
