| Title | Failure to Evaluate Mission Dose for Manual Operator Actions Required by Plant Procedures |
| Description | The inspectors identified a non-cited violation (NCV) of Units 1 and 2 Technical Specification 6.8, Procedures & Programs, for the licensees failure to follow procedures involving the review and approval of revisions to a plant abnormal operating procedure (AOP). The incorporation of manual operator actions regarding closure of the containment equipment hatch in the event of a fuel handling accident into a plant AOP without performing a mission dose evaluation resulted in the likelihood that personnel involved with the activity would receive a dose in excess of regulatory limits for occupational exposure. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as PERs 167420 and 167428. The finding was determined to be greater than minor because it was associated with the program and process attribute of the occupational radiation safety cornerstone and 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. The cornerstone objective was affected since adequate worker protection from exposure to radiation was not ensured through the AOP revision process. Using Inspection IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 4, Phase 1 - Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings, and Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it did not affect the licensees ability to assess dose, did not involve an overexposure or substantial potential for overexposure, and was not related to ALARA planning. No cross-cutting aspect was identified since the issue was not reflective of current licensee performance, in that the performance deficiency occurred in 2004 |
