| Title | Failure to Comply with Entry requirements to a HRA |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green, self-revealing, NCV of Technical Specification (TS) 6.12.1, High Radiation Area, for two examples where workers made entries into High Radiation Areas (HRA) on May 16, 2014, without meeting the entry requirements specified therein. Specifically, these workers, while performing decontamination activities and moving materials in the upper reactor containment, entered a posted HRA: 1) without knowledge of the current radiological conditions in the actual work area, 2) not using a radiological work permit (RWP) approved for HRA entry, and 3) without wearing the prescribed electronic dosimetry for an HRA. The licensee entered these events into the Corrective Action Program (CAP) as Problem Evaluation Reports (PERs) Numbers 886668 and 886160. Immediate corrective actions included restricting worker access to the Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) and issuance of communications to the site and within the Radiation Protection organization to reinforce roles in RWP adherence and access control. This finding was more than minor because it is associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute of Human Performance and adversely affects the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation from radioactive material during routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. The finding was not related to As Low As Reasonably Achievable planning, nor did it involve an overexposure or substantial potential for overexposure and the ability to assess dose was not compromised. Therefore, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green). This finding involved the cross-cutting aspect of Human Performance, Avoid Complacency [H.12] because workers failed to apply appropriate error reduction tools during participation in the pre-job brief and prior to crossing the HRA boundaries. |
