| Title | Failure to Provide an Accurate Shipping Manifest |
| Description | The inspectors identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR 20.2006(b) for failure to ship radioactive waste with an accurate manifest. On May 19, 2009, the licensee shipped 20 Unit 2 spent fuel pool filters to a waste processor for segregation. The licensee was notified on June 1, 2009, that dose rate on one filter was almost twice the licensee reported dose rate (38 rem/hr vice 20 rem/hr). The total activity of the shipment based on the higher dose rate was approximately three times more than reported on the shipping manifest. Based on the inspectors finding, the licensee corrected the shipping manifest and documented this issue in the corrective action program as Condition Report CR-ANO-C-2010-1866. Failure to include the correct total radioactivity on a waste manifest is a performance deficiency. The finding is greater than minor because it was associated with the Public Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute of program and process (transportation program), and affected the cornerstone objective, in that, it provided incorrect information as part of hazard communication which could increase public dose. Using the public radiation safety significance determination process, the inspectors determined the finding had very low safety significance because: (1) radiation limits were not exceeded, (2) there was no breach of a package during transit, (3) it did not involve a certificate of compliance issue, (4) it was not a low level burial ground nonconformance, and (5) it did not involve a failure to make notifications or provide emergency information. Additionally, this finding had a crosscutting aspect in the area of corrective action program because the licensee did not set a low threshold for identifying and correcting issues. |
