Title	Cladding Failure to One Spent Fuel Rod Found During Inspection of Spent Fuel in the Spent Fuel Pool
Event Description	On November 14, 2005, WBN was operating at 100% power and an inspection of spent fuel stored in the spent fuel pool (SFP) was being performed. The inspection confirmed that an opening existed in one rod (P9) located in G45 fuel assembly. This assembly is a 17 x 17 Vantage +/Performance + (V+/P+) fuel assembly and it has been used in the core during two previous cycles. The inspection noted some rod cladding failure different than what could be expected. TVA is making a non-emergency notification in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A). For this event, the cladding failure could be considered to exceed expected values. TVA's investigation of the cause of the rod failure is currently ongoing. The NRC Resident Inspector was notified of this event by the licensee.
