| Title | Failure to Include the Correct Proper Shipping Name on Radioactive Material Shipping Papers |
| Description | The inspectors identified a NCV of 10 CFR 71.5 for the failure to include the correct Proper Shipping Name (PSN) on radioactive material shipping papers in accordance with the requirements of Department of Transportation (DOT) regulation 49 CFR 172.202. This resulted in multiple Low Specific Activity (LSA) shipments containing quantities exceeding an A2 value being shipped as UN2915, Radioactive Material, Type A Package. The licensee documented this issue in CR 1145617 and took immediate corrective actions including updating the software used to perform shipping activities and additional training of personnel. The performance deficiency was greater than minor because it was associated with the Public Radiation Safety Cornerstone, Program & Process attribute (transportation program), and adversely affected the associated cornerstone objective to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain as a result of routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. The inspectors determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the issue involved transportation, but there were no radiation limits exceeded, and there was no package breach. In addition, it did not involve a Certificate of Compliance or low-level burial problem, nor was there a failure to make notifications or provide emergency response information. The finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Training [H.9], because the DOT requirements pertaining to LSA shipments were not well understood. |
