| Title | Failure to Follow Procedure Results in Personnel Contaminations |
| Description | The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing, noncited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1, resulting from workers who entered a posted contamination area without required protective clothing and were contaminated as a result. The condition was detected when contamination monitors alarmed during the workers attempt to process out of the radiologically controlled area. The workers were then decontaminated prior to exiting. The licensee entered the issue into the corrective action program as Condition Report CR-CNS-2011-03311. The corrective actions included communication of the issue throughout the department. The failure to follow radiation work permit requirements is a performance deficiency. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute (exposure control) of program and process and affected the cornerstone objective, in that, working in an area outside the scope of the radiation work permit and not following protective clothing requirements resulted in personnel contaminations. 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 cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, associated with the work control component, in that, the licensee failed to appropriately coordinate work activities by incorporating actions to address plant conditions that may affect work activities. Specifically, the radiation protection technician failed to verify current conditions prior to briefing workers on expected plant conditions that may affect work activities H.3(b)(Section 1R20.1). |
