| Title | Failure to Perform Adequate Total Effective Dose Equivalent ALARA Evaluations |
| Description | A finding of very low safety significance and associated NCV of 10 CFR 20.1501 was identified by the inspectors for the failure to perform an adequate survey (evaluation) to determine the use of respiratory protection equipment and/or engineering controls so as to maintain the total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) ALARA. Specifically, TEDE ALARA evaluations completed in April 2008 prior to SG maintenance and maintenance support activities did not adequately assess the planned use of engineering controls to reduce the concentration of radioactive material in air. As a result, respirators were specified to be used when not warranted based on the engineering controls to be implemented. As corrective actions, the licensee planned to reevaluate its TEDE ALARA evaluations for pending SG work activities, planned to develop a procedure specific to the performance of these evaluations, and was considering the need for supervisory or health physics staff review of these evaluations. The licensee entered the issue into its corrective action program as action request (AR) 01125284. The finding was determined to be more than minor because it impacted the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute of program and process and potentially affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation, in that not performing adequate evaluations to determine the use of respiratory protection equipment consistent with the engineering controls for the work would result in additional dose to workers. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because it was not an ALARA planning issue, there was no overexposure nor potential for overexposure, and the licensees ability to assess dose was not compromised. The finding was determined to have a cross-cutting aspect in the resource component of the human performance area, because procedures were not adequate to ensure that TEDE ALARA evaluations were performed properly H.2(c).
