| Title | Failure to Comply with 10 CFR 20 Appendix G |
| Description | The inspectors identified a NCV of 10 CFR 20, Appendix G, Section III.C. 5. Specifically, the licensee did not conduct a Quality Assurance Program sufficient to assure conformance with 10 CFR 61.55, in that, the program was not adequate to identify incorrect gamma spectroscopy analyses of a principal gamma emitting radionuclide used to scale hard-to detect radionuclides for purposes of waste classification in accordance with 10 CFR 61.55. The licensee entered the deficiency into its CAP (IR799894). The failure to conduct a sufficiently robust 10 CFR 61 Quality Assurance Program, to assure conformance with 10 CFR 61.55, is a performance deficiency that was reasonably within the licensees ability to foresee and correct, and which should have been prevented. The finding is more than minor because it affected the associated cornerstone objective in that the licensees 10 CFR 61 Quality Assurance Program did not identify incorrectly analyzed waste samples used to classify radioactive waste for land disposal. This finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because no radiation limits were exceeded, there was no breach of packaging, there was no certificate of compliance finding, there was no low level burial ground non-conformance, and lastly, there was no failure to make notifications or provide emergency notification information. The cause of this finding was related to the cross-cutting area of PI&R, self and independent assessments component, in that, although actions were taken to coordinate and communicate results from assessments to affected personnel, corrective actions were not sufficiently comprehensive to identify incorrect vendor analyses [IMC 0305, aspect P.3(c).
