| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | Browns Ferry Technical Specification (TS) 5.7.1, High Radiation Area, requires, in part, that each individual or group entering HRAs shall possess: 1) A radiation monitoring device that continuously displays radiation dose rates in the area; or 2) A radiation monitoring device that continuously integrates the radiation dose rates in the area and alarms when the device's dose alarm setpoint is reached, with an appropriate alarm setpoint, or 3) A radiation monitoring device that continuously transmits dose rate and cumulative dose information to a remote receiver monitored by radiation protection personnel responsible for controlling personnel radiation exposure within the area. Contrary to the above, on April 3, 2015, the licensee did not ensure the use of a radiation monitoring device that continuously transmits dose rate and cumulative dose information by an individual who entered the refueling cavity, a high radiation area with a radiation dose rate of approximately 260 mrem in one hour at 30 centimeters from the reactor vessel. Upon identification, the licensee immediately implemented RCA access restrictions for the individual and relocated the smart turnstile at the HRA entrance. This violation was determined to be not greater than very low safety significance (Green) because it was not related to As Low As Reasonably Achievable planning, it did not involve an overexposure or substantial potential for overexposure, and the ability to assess dose was not compromised because the individual was wearing passive dosimetry (OSLD). Subsequent comparison of the workers OSLD with the OSLD and electronic dosimeter of coworkers on the same crew resulted in the worker being assigned 19 mrem for the time he was in the area without an electronic dosimeter. This violation was violation was entered into the licensees Corrective Action Program as SR1008704. |
