| Title | Inadequate HRA Controls |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green NCV of TS 6.12, High Radiation Area, when PSEG did not apply appropriate controls to high radiation areas. Specifically, the Unit 1 and 2 reactor cavities in containment, which are areas that exceed 1.0 rem/hour at 30 centimeters, were not properly controlled to prevent unauthorized personnel access. PSEG entered this issue in their CAP as notification 20682903 and installed six foot high scissor fences around each reactor cavity. The issue was determined to be more than minor since it was associated with the program and process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone, and adversely affected its objective to ensure the adequate protection of the worker health and safety from exposure to radiation from radioactive material during routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. Specifically, high radiation areas with dose rates greater than 1.0 rem/hour at 30 centimeters were not properly controlled to prevent unauthorized personnel access. It was also similar to IMC 0612, Appendix E, example 6.g, in that access to a posted high radiation area (HRA) was not controlled in accordance with site TSs, a HRA actually existed, and it was not properly barricaded. The finding was then evaluated using IMC 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, issued August 19, 2008, where it screened to very low safety significance (Green) since it was not associated with an as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA) issue, did not involve an overexposure, did not constitute a substantial potential for overexposure, and did not compromise PSEGs ability to assess dose. The inspectors determined this finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Avoid Complacency, in that individuals recognize and plan for the possibility of latent problems, even while expecting successful outcomes. Specifically, PSEG was not sufficiently aware of latent deficiencies in HRA access control given opportunities to identify the inadequate HRA controls when performing containment entries during normal plant operation and when routinely establishing the reactor cavities as locked high radiation areas following refueling outages. |
