Finding

Title

Failure to Implement Welding Standard Guidance and Examination Procedures

Description

The inspectors reviewed a self-revealed Green finding and associated non-cited violation of Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1, Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, for the licensees failure to properly preplan maintenance that can affect the performance of safety-related equipment. Specifically, the licensee failed to implement welding standard guidance and examination procedure guidance during the installation of the high pressure injection system drain line containing drain valves MU-1066A and MU-1066B. The drain line weld developed a crack that caused a leak shortly after plant startup that was determined to have been caused by grinding during the welding process, which was not permitted by the welding standard.
