The inspectors identified a finding of ver … The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, when licensee personnel failed to adhere to design requirements specified for a special lifting device used to handle a transfer cask containing spent nuclear fuel in the vicinity of the spent fuel pool. The licensee entered this issue into their CAP as IR 1509204, Required NDE (Nondestructive Examination) Not Performed on Lift Yoke, and IR 1509602, Lift Yoke Stud Nuts Not Lock Wired. As part of their corrective actions, the licensee performed required tests and installed lock wire in accordance with design drawings prior to conducting additional lifts with the special lifting device. The inspectors determined that the failure to adhere to design drawings and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) requirements for annual testing of a special lifting device was a performance deficiency. The inspectors determined that the performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Design Control attribute of the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone and adversely impacted the cornerstone objective of providing reasonable assurance that physical design barriers protect the public from radioactive releases caused by accidents or events. The inspectors evaluated the finding using IMC 0609, Appendix A, Exhibit 3, Barrier Integrity Screening Questions. The inspectors answered No to all the screening questions in Appendix A, Exhibit 3, and therefore the finding screened as having very low safety significance. This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the Resources component of the Human Performance cross-cutting area since the licensee failed to have complete, accurate, and up-to-date design documentation and procedures that ensured personnel, equipment, procedures, and other resources were available and adequate to assure nuclear safety. Specifically the licensees procedures for annual testing of a special lifting device lacked specific guidance, and design changes were made that conflicted with design drawings.made that conflicted with design drawings.
