| Title | Failure To Survey Resulting In Unintended Occupational Dose |
| Description | The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing non-cited violation of 10 CFR Part 20.1501(a), which was the result of an inadequate survey to evaluate potential hazards from airborne radiation. As a result, a radiation worker received an uptake of 10 millirem in unintended dose. In response, the licensee immediately surveyed the area, performed whole body counts on the affected worker, decontaminated the affected worker, and documented the occurrence in the corrective action program as Condition Report 2012-19508. The failure to perform a survey to evaluate the radiological conditions and potential hazard from airborne radiation is a performance deficiency. The licensee had the ability to foresee a possible intake if the survey had been properly performed. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute of program and process (exposure control) and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation from radioactive material during routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. The Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone was affected; therefore, the inspectors used Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, dated August 19, 2008, to determine the significance of the violation. The violation had very low safety significance because: (1) it was not an as low as is reasonably achievable finding, (2) there was no overexposure, (3) there was no substantial potential for an overexposure, and (4) the ability to assess dose was not compromised. This violation had a cross-cutting aspect in the human performance area, work control component, because the licensee failed to maintain communication during activities in which interdepartmental coordination was necessary to assure plant and human performance, such as the need to keep personnel apprised of changing radiological conditions that affected work activities. |
