| Title | Failure to Properly Complete a 50.59 Screen for EC272057 |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV non-cited violation (NCV) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.59(d)(1), Changes, Tests, and Experiments, because NextEra did not adequately evaluate a use-as-is determination, resulting in a defacto design change, for certain ASR impacted safety related structures. Specifically, NextEra did not complete a 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation, to ensure that the identified reduction in concrete modulus of elasticity did not present a more than minimal increase in the likelihood of the occurrence of a malfunction of a structure, system, or component (SSC) important to safety previously evaluated in the updated safety analysis report (USAR) prior to implementing changes to the facility as described in the engineering change EC272057 issued on April 25, 2011. The failure to evaluate changes to the facility as described in EC272057 was contrary to 10 CFR 50.59(d)(1) and was a performance deficiency warranting a significance evaluation in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Manual for Traditional Enforcement and IMC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix B, Issue Disposition Screening. The violation was determined to be more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix B, Issue Screening, because it could not reasonably be determined that the changes would not have ultimately required prior NRC approval. In accordance with Section 6.1.d.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy, this violation is categorized as Severity Level IV because the resulting changes were evaluated by the SDP as having very low safety significance (Green), because it was a design or qualification deficiency confirmed not to result in an actual loss of safety function and because further evaluation determined that the structures remained operable despite the degraded modulus condition. The finding had a cross cutting aspect in the area of human performance - work practices, H.4(b), because NextEra personnel did not follow procedures. Specifically, NextEra personnel did not follow the requirements of Section 5.2.2 of the 5059 Resource Manual when preparing the 50.59 screen for EC272057. |
