Event Text
FUEL ASSEMBLY MIS-ORIENTED RESULTING IN A UNANALYZED CONDITION
"On March 13, 2015 at 0100 [CDT], it was identified that fuel assembly QAD224 was mis-oriented 180 degrees at core location 51-40. The intended orientation was [southeast]. However the assembly was identified as being [northwest]. This issue was identified during the core verification process. In the current core configuration, there is not a bounding analysis that assures adequate Shutdown Margin.
"This event is reportable under 50.72(b)(3)(ii) as an unanalyzed condition that significantly degraded plant safety.
"The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."
