| Title | Radiation Workers Failed to Follow High Radiation Area Procedure |
| Description | The inspectors documented a self-revealing non-cited violation of Unit 2 Technical Specification 6.4.1.a for the failure to follow station procedure EN-RP-100, Radiation Worker Expectations, Revision 7. Specifically, when working in a posted high radiation area, a worker received several electronic dose rate alarms and failed to immediately exit the area, notify others in the work area and notify radiological protection personnel of the dose rate alarm. The licensee has entered this issue into the corrective action program as Condition Report CR-ANO-2-2012-2830. Radiation workers failing to follow the station procedure for high radiation areas is a performance deficiency. This finding is more than minor because it affected the human performance attribute of the Occupational Radiation Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the adequate protection of the worker health and safety from exposure to radiation from radioactive material during routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. Using Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the finding was determined to have very low safety significance (Green) because the finding: (1) was not related to as-low-as-reasonably-achievable planning or work control, or exposure control, (2) did not involve an overexposure, (3) did not constitute a substantial potential for overexposure, and (4) did not compromise the licensees ability to assess dose. The finding was determined to have a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance, associated with work practices component, self and peer checking. Specifically, at multiple points while entering and working in the high radiation area the radiation workers failed to perform self and peer checks commensurate with the risk of the assigned task to perform the work safely. |
