Section (b) of
TS 5.7.1 requires, in part, that access toand activities ina high-radiation area be controlled by a radiation work permit or equivalent. Section (e) of
TS 5.7.1 requires, in part, that entry into
HRAs be made only after dose rates in the area have been determined and entry personnel are knowledgeable of them. Contrary to the above, on April 14, 2015, an individual entered an
HRA without being on a radiation work permit that allowed for
HRA entry and was not made knowledgeable of the dose rates in the
HRA. The licensee entered this issue into the
CAP as
AR 0204280. This violation is considered to be of very low safety significance in accordance with
IMC 0609, Appendix C,
Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, dated August 19, 2008, because: (1) it did not involve as-low-as-reasonably-achievable planning or work controls; (2) there were no
overexposures; (3) there was not a
substantial potential for overexposures; and (4) the ability to assess dose was not compromised.
