| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | Technical Specification 5.7.1.b, High Radiation Area, requires access to, and activities in, each HRA to be controlled by means of an RWP or equivalent that includes specification of radiation dose rates in the immediate work area(s). Contrary to this, on May 25, 2009, a Modifications boilermaker was handling bags of mop heads in a contaminated area during cavity decontamination while loggedon to a dose-control, non-contaminated area RWP. The mop heads were reading 1500 mrem/hour on contact and 500 mrem/hour at 30 cm; the rad-trash bag constituted a mobile high radiation area being controlled by a health physics technician. The boilermaker failed to check-in with the control point on the refuel floor, where he would have been briefed on the radiological conditions, radiation protection measures, and placed on the appropriate RWP for the task. When the boilermaker received a dose rate alarm, the health physics technician covering the job immediately removed him from the area, having recognized that the boilermaker could not be on the correct RWP since he had received an alarm. This was identified in the licensees CAP as PER 172081. This finding was of very low safety significance because it did not involve ALARA planning and controls, did not involve an overexposure, did not pose a substantial potential for overexposure, and the ability to assess dose was not compromised |
