| Title | Failure to Properly Ship Category 2 Radioactive Material - Quantity of Concern |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green NCV of 10 CFR 71.5, Transportation of Licensed Material, and CFR 172, Subpart I, Safety and Security Plans. Specifically, Exelon personnel shipped a Category 2 radioactive material quantity of concern (RAM-QC) on public highways to a waste processor without adhering to a transportation security plan. Prior to shipment, Exelons staff failed to recognize that the quantity of radioactive material met the definition RAM-QC. The inspectors determined that Exelons failure to ship material as a Category 2 RAM-QC was a performance deficiency. Exelon entered this issue into their CAP as IR02481678 and corrective actions included revising the shipping procedure to reflect the appropriate Department of Transportation requirements for shipment of Category 2 radioactive material. Additionally, Exelon implemented a formal process for reviewing pending regulatory changes for impacts to operations and support activities by the implementation of Exelon Procedure LS-AA-110, Commitment Management, Revision 10, in September 2014. The inspectors reviewed IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, and determined the issue is more than minor because it is associated with the program and process attribute of the Public Radiation Safety cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain as a result of routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. In accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix D, "Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process," issued on February 12, 2008, the inspectors determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green) because Exelon had an issue involving transportation of radioactive material, but it did not involve: (1) a radiation limit that was 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 make notifications or provide emergency information. The inspectors determined that the finding did not have a crosscutting aspect because the issue was not indicative of current licensee performance because Exelon successfully implemented its transportation security plan in shipping three Category 2 RAM-QC packages in 2014. |
