The licensee failed to recognize a rejectable indication in feedwater piping weld 2K16-550-30 FW 33 observable in the original acceptance radiography film. The licensee entered the issue into their corrective action program as Notifications 50473769 and 50475897 and re-examined the radiographic films for welds performed during Refueling Outage 2R16. A random re-examination of other radiographic films will be completed at a later date. This finding was more than minor because it is associated with the human performance attribute of the Initiating Events Cornerstone and directly affected the cornerstone objective of limiting events that challenge plant stability. Based on the results of the engineering evaluation that was performed when the flaw was recognized, the inspectors determined that the structural integrity of the feedwater piping was not affected. Based on the results of a significance determination process Phase 1 evaluation, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it did not contribute to the likelihood of a loss of coolant accident, did not contribute to a loss of mitigation equipment, and did not increase the likelihood of a fire or an internal/external flood. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, work practices, in that the licensee failed to ensure human error prevention techniques, such as self- and peer-checking were used so that work activities are performed safely.that work activities are performed safely. +
