| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | Title 10 CFR 20.1501 requires the licensee to adequately survey and evaluate the magnitude and extent of radiation levels. Contrary to the above, on December 30, 2008, a radiation protection technician discovered radiation dose rates of 500 millirem per hour at one foot near the spent fuel storage pool gates. This constituted a high radiation area as defined by licensee Technical Specification 5.7.1. The high radiation area was not originally identified during initial surveys taken on December 10, 2008. The high radiation area was caused by control rod blades on hangers on the northwest wall of the spent fuel pool in close proximity to the gates for the fuel transfer channel. The issue was more than minor because it was associated with the Program/Process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation. The issue represents a finding of very low safety significance because it did not involve as low as is reasonably achievable planning or work controls, there was no overexposure, nor did a substantial potential for an overexposure exist given the radiological conditions in the area and the workers response to the electronic dosimeter alarm. The licensee\'s ability to assess worker dose was not compromised |
