| Title | Failure to Implement TS Locked High Radiation Area Controls |
| Description | The inspectors identified NCV of very low safety significance (Green) associated with failure to implement TS 6.12.2 access controls for a High Radiation Area (HRA) exhibiting accessible radiation dose rates exceeding 1 rem/hr at 30 cm. Specifically, on October 28, 2014, NRC inspectors found the access door to the Unit 1 Containment Regenerative Heat Exchanger Room unlocked and unguarded, and the area exhibited accessible radiation dose rates of up to 1.4 rem/hr at 30 cm. PSEG immediately locked access to this area and entered this issue into its CAP (Notification 20667323). The failure to establish and implement TS 6.12 HRA access controls is a performance deficiency (PD) which was within PSEGs ability to foresee and correct and should have been prevented. The PD was determined to be more than minor because, if left uncorrected, the PD had the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern if personnel were exposed to elevated radiation dose rates. Further, the PD was related to the programs and process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure adequate protection of worker from radiation exposure. The finding was assessed using IMC 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, and was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding did not involve: (1) As-Low-As-Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) planning and controls; (2) a radiological overexposure; (3) a substantial potential for an overexposure; or (4) a compromised ability to assess dose. This finding was associated with the Resolution aspect of the Problem Identification and Resolution crosscutting area in that PSEG did not take effective corrective actions to address issues in a timely manner commensurate with their safety significance. Specifically, PSEG did not repair a long standing broken High Radiation Area access door lock resulting in extended use of an alternate lock and chain remedy that could not be readily verified in the locked condition and led to human error in not successfully locking the door from prior egress. |
