| Title | Failure to Follow Radiation Work Permit Instructions |
| Description | Inspectors reviewed a self-revealing, non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.8.1 for failure to follow procedures requiring workers to comply with radiological work permit instructions. Specifically, two workers changed the work scope for valve FCV-326 from reassembly to rework using abrasive pads without notifying radiation protection personnel. The licensees corrective action was to counsel the workers on the importance of adhering to the stated work scope and radiation work permit procedures. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Reports 2011-3944, 2011-3046, and 2011-9795. The failure to follow the requirements of the radiation work permit as instructed by radiation protection was a performance deficiency. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute of program and process and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation during routine operations. Using the Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the inspectors determined the finding to have very low safety significance because: (1) it was not associated with ALARA planning or work controls, (2) there was no overexposure, (3) there was no substantial potential for an overexposure, and (4) the ability to assess dose was not compromised. The finding was determined to have a human performance crosscutting aspect associated with work practices, because the licensee failed to ensure supervisory and management oversight of work activities, including contractors, such that nuclear safety is supported. |
