| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | Quad Cities TS 5.4, AProcedures,@ requires that written procedures be established, implemented and maintained covering the activities provided in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978. Procedures specified in Regulatory Guide 1.33 include radiation protection procedures for access control to radiation areas including a radiation work permit system. Quad Cities procedure RP-AA-460-1004, AUnescorted Access to and Conduct in Radiologically Controlled Areas,@ implements Technical Specification 5.4 as provided in Regulatory Guide 1.33, in that it provides the methods by which personnel access into radiologically controlled areas is allowed. Section 4.2.10 of procedure RP-AA-460-1004 requires that workers immediately exit the area if receiving a dose rate alarm on their electronic dosimetry and notify radiation protection. Section 4.2.2 of that procedure requires that workers promptly obey stop work instructions from the radiation protection staff. Contrary to the above, on May 13, 2007, a contract worker failed to immediately exit the area and notify Radiation Protection upon receiving an electronic dosimetry dose rate alarm. Later that same day, the worker again failed to notify Radiation Protection after a computerized access control system Red Error Screen was obtained upon the workers attempt to log into the radiologically controlled area, which provided a stop work instruction for the worker to contact Radiation Protection. Based on an Office of Investigations (OI) investigation (OI Case No. 3-2007-024) completed on December 17, 2007, the NRC staff concluded that the worker willfully failed to follow Radiation Protection procedures and report the electronic dosimetry alarm and the Red Error Screen to the Radiation Protection organization. However, because the violation had no actual radiological significance and minimal potential significance, the violation involved the acts of a low-level individual resulting from an isolated action without management involvement, there was no economic or other advantage gained as a result of the violation, and adequate remedial action was taken, the violation was categorized at Severity Level IV. Since the violation is of very low safety significance, it meets the additional criteria in Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy, and has been entered into the corrective action system (IR 628980), it is being treated as an NCV |
