| Title | Failure to Monitor in Alpha 3 Area |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of Technical Specification (TS) 5.4.1. Specifically, the licensee failed to perform air sampling as required by station procedure EN-RP-122 Alpha Monitoring. The issue was entered in the licensees Corrective Action Program (CAP) as CR-PLP-2013-02054. The licensees immediate corrective actions included performance management of the radiation protection technician and direct radiation protection supervisor oversight of the work activity. The finding is more than minor because it was associated with the program and process attribute of the occupational radiation safety cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation. Specifically, not monitoring the worker intake in an Alpha Level 3 area affected the licensees ability to assess workers internal exposures in a timely manner, and adversely impacted the licensees ability to monitor, control, and limit radiation exposures (i.e., committed effective dose equivalent or internal dose). In accordance with IMC 0609 Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the inspectors determined that the finding had very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not involve: (1) as-low-as-reasonably-achievable (ALARA) planning and controls; (2) a radiological overexposure; (3) a substantial potential for an overexposure; and (4) a compromised ability to assess dose. The inspectors determined that the primary cause of this finding was related to the cross-cutting aspect of problem identification and resolution in the component of corrective actions, specifically the licensee did not take appropriate corrective actions to address safety issues and adverse trends in Alpha monitoring in a timely manner, commensurate with their safety significance and complexity. |
