| Title | Non-Compliance with HRA Entry Requirements |
| Description | A self-revealing NCV of Technical Specification (TS) 6.12.1, High Radiation Area, was identified when a worker did not comply with a radiological barrier and entered a high radiation area (HRA) without proper authorization. Specifically, on March 24, 2014, a worker entered a HRA without a survey meter, without being made aware of radiological conditions in the area, and without a health physics technician (HPT) escort and subsequently received a dose rate alarm. Upon identification, the licensee immediately restricted the workers access to the Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) and put out a site wide information notice to increase worker awareness of HRA entry requirements. This condition has been placed into the licensees corrective action program as action request (AR) 01951254. The finding was determined to be more than minor because it was related to the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone attribute of Human Performance (radiation worker proficiency) and adversely affected the cornerstone attribute to ensure the adequate protection of worker health and safety. Specifically, because the worker failed to comply with TS requirements for entry into a HRA he was not knowledgeable of area radiological conditions. The finding was evaluated in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix C, where it was determined to be Green because it did not involve ALARA planning or work controls, was not an overexposure, did not contain a substantial potential for an overexposure, and the ability to assess dose was not compromised. This finding involved the cross-cutting aspect of Human Performance, Avoid Complacency (H.12) because the worker failed to apply the human performance tools of self and peer checks prior to entering into an HRA. |
