| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | The following violation of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by the licensee and is a violation of NRC requirements which meets the criteria of the NRC Enforcement Policy for being dispositioned as a non-cited violation. Title 10 CFR 71.5, Section (a), Transportation of Licensed Material, requires each licensee who transports licensed material outside the site of usage, shall comply with the applicable requirements of the DOT regulations in 49 CFR. 49 CFR Part 172.800(b) requires, in part, that the licensee must develop and adhere to a transportation security plan. The licensee implemented Procedure EN-RW-106, Integrated Transportation Security Plan, to adhere to these requirements. Contrary to the above, on December 18, 2014, the licensee identified that they failed to follow their Transportation Security Plan (TSP). Specifically, licensee personnel shipped a radioactive quantity of Category 2, RAM-QC, on the public highways to a waste processor without acknowledging the shipment as a RAM-QC shipment or making appropriate notifications as required by Procedure EN-RW-106. Six shipments were identified as being shipped in violation of the TSP requirements because they failed to identify the material as RAM-QC due to inadequate Category 2 threshold values. In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 4, Initial Characterization of Findings, and Appendix D, Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, dated February 12, 2008, the inspectors determined the finding has very low safety significance (Green) because the licensee had an issue involving transportation of radioactive waste, but it did not involve: (1) a radiation limit being exceeded, (2) a breach of package during transport,(3) a certificate of compliance issue, (4) a low level burial ground nonconformance, or (5) a failure to provide emergency information. The licensee documented this issue in their corrective action program as Condition Report CR-ANO-C-2014-03341 and made corrections to Procedure EN-RW-106 to prevent this issue from reoccurring. There is no cross-cutting aspect with this violation due to it being licensee-identified. |
