| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | Technical Specification 6.4 states: A training and retraining program for the Plant Staff shall be maintained and shall meet or exceed the requirements and recommendations of Section 5.5 of ANSI-18.1-1971 and 10 CFR Part 55. General Nuclear Procedure GNP-13.03.01 Revision 23 Conduct of Training implements these requirements. This procedure identifies that trainees are responsible for ensuring personal qualifications are current to independently perform assigned work. Contrary to the above, on July 16, 2008, a lead chemistry technician independently performed an activity without having met the requisite qualification. Specifically, the individual completed a radiological liquid waste release discharge permit after his qualification for performing the activity was revoked during the periodic re-qualification program on July 16, 2008. Based on an Office of Investigations investigation; Case No. 3-2008-027, the NRC staff concluded that a lead chemistry technician deliberately violated the training requirements by completing a radiological liquid waste release discharge permit knowing that his qualifications were not current. The violation was categorized as a Severity Level IV violation because: 1) the violation had limited actual radiological significance and low potential significance; 2) the violation involved the acts of a low-level individual; 3) the violation resulted from an isolated action without management involvement; 4) there was no economic or other advantage gained as a result of the violation; and 5) adequate remedial action was taken by the licensee. Because the violation is of very low safety significance, it meets the additional criteria in Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy, and because it has been entered into the corrective action system (CR103866) it is being treated, after consultation with the Director, Office of Enforcement, as an NCV |
