| Title | Failure to Follow Radiation Protection Procedures |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, Procedures, because Entergy personnel did not generate condition reports or investigation paperwork for multiple high dose-rate alarms as required by station procedures. Specifically, personnel did not generate the required condition reports and adequately document the investigations for 21 instances of unplanned or un-briefed electronic dosimeter alarms that occurred between January2009 and March 2009. The performance deficiency resulted in workers receiving unanticipated dose rate alarms with no formally-documented investigation prior to returning to work in a Radiologically Controlled Area. Entergy entered the finding into the corrective action program as condition report CR-IP3-2009-01253 and01318.The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone attribute of programs and process, and adversely affected the objective to ensure adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation. Moreover, the inspectors identified a programmatic deficiency to maintain and implement programs to keep exposures as low as reasonably achievable, because multiple examples were identified regarding the failure to satisfy station radiation protection procedures. Using the Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it did not involve: (1) as low as is reasonably achievable planning and controls, (2) an overexposure of an individual,(3) a substantial potential for overexposure, or (4) an impaired ability to assess dose. The inspectors determined that the finding had a cross-cutting aspect related to procedural adherence in the Work Practices component of the Human Performance area. Specifically, Entergy employees did not follow procedures to generate condition reports and document investigations when high dose-rate alarms were received by workers |
