| Title | Bent Fuel Spacer Flow Wing |
| Event Description | During inspection of GNF2 reload fuel, a spacer flow wing on the corner rod position was discovered to be deformed (bent). A review of this condition and the associated root cause evaluation has determined that it could be present in previously manufactured GNF2 fuel that has been shipped for Fitzpatrick Cycle 19, Pilgrim Cycle 18, Vermont Yankee Cycle 28, Vermont Yankee GNF2 Lead Use Assemblies and Grand Gulf Cycle 18. It is not known that this condition exists in the GNF2 fuel for these plants, but it cannot be ruled out. A conservative assessment of thermal hydraulic impact of this condition resulted in a 0.01 OLMCPR [Operating Limit Minimum Critical Power Ratio] impact for these plants. An OLMCPR impact of 0.01 is at the threshold for reportability. |
