| Title | Unauthorized Entry into a High Radiation Area |
| Description | A self-revealing, Non-cited Violation (NCV) of Technical Specification (TS) 5.7.1, was identified for a worker who entered a High Radiation Area (HRA) without proper authorization. Specifically, the worker entered a posted HRA located outside the Radwaste Ventilation Equipment Room without receiving a HRA briefing, and subsequently received a dose rate alarm. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report (CR) 1072342, and the licensee took immediate corrective actions including surveys of the area, and restricting the workers access to the Radiologically Controlled Area. The performance deficiency was greater than minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone attribute of Program and Process (Monitoring and Radiation Protection (RP) Controls) and adversely affects the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation from radioactive material during routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. The inspectors determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it was not related to As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) planning, nor did it involve an overexposure or substantial potential for overexposure, and the ability to assess dose was not compromised. This finding involved the cross-cutting aspect of Human Performance, Procedural Adherence [H.8] because the event was a direct result of the workers failure to adhere to requirements for HRA access. |
