| Title | Failure to Wear Prescribed Respiratory Protection |
| Description | Green. A self-revealed finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of Technical Specification (TS) 5.4.1 was identified for insulation work activities during the refueling outage associated with pressurizer spray valve CV1057. Specifically, prior to the work beginning, the licensee determined that the use of powered air purifying respirators would be required to minimize worker dose and maintain exposures as-low-as-reasonably-achievable (ALARA), but the work was performed using only face shields, and as a result a worker was contaminated externally and internally. Corrective actions included creation of an administrative requirement to revise any radiation work permit (RWP) task that required respiratory protection to more clearly state the requirements. The inspectors determined that the performance deficiency was more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612 because it was associated with the Program and Process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation. Specifically, the failure to wear required respiratory protection during the reinsulating of CV1057 resulted in personal contamination and the intake of radioactive material. The inspectors concluded that the radiological hazards had the potential to result in higher exposures to the individuals had the circumstances been slightly altered. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, because it was not an ALARA planning issue, there was neither an overexposure nor a substantial potential for an overexposure, and the licensees ability to assess dose was not compromised. The inspectors concluded that the cause of the issue involved a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Basis for Decisions. Specifically, the bases for operational decisions were communicated in a timely manner. |
