| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | Title 10 CFR 20.1302, Compliance with Dose Limits for Individual Members of the Public states, in part, that the licensee shall make or cause to be made, as appropriate, surveys of radiation levels in effluents released to unrestricted and controlled areas and radioactive materials in effluents released to unrestricted and controlled areas to demonstrate compliance with the dose limits for individual members of the public in 20.1301. Contrary to the above, on February 7, 2011, and again on July 23, 2011, it was identified that slightly radioactive material was inappropriately released by the licensee into the stations septic system. The issue was documented in the licensees corrective action program as CAP 1295889. Corrective actions included changes to plant processes for the release of potentially radioactive materials. The work practices that created unauthorized and unmonitored release paths into the stations septic system is a performance deficiency as defined in IMC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports, Appendix B, Issue Screening. The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor because, if left uncorrected, the performance deficiency had the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern. The finding was reviewed for significance in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix D, Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, and determined to be of very low safety significance because it involved radioactive material control, did not involve radioactive material transportation, and the dose impact to a member of the public was less than 5 millirem. |
