| Title | Failure to Comply with Requirements of RWP |
| Description | A finding of very low safety significance and associated NCV of Technical Specification 5.4.1 was identified by the inspectors for the licensees failure to implement adequate written procedures regarding the radiation safety program. Specifically, the licensee failed to comply with the requirements of the radiation work permit (RWP) when retrieving a piece of a highly irradiated boron tube from the reactor cavity to moisture separator/steam dryer pit weir wall. Immediate corrective actions included lessons learned being shared with the radiation protection staff to ensure congruency with radiological pre-job briefings and RWP requirements. The inspectors reviewed the guidance in IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, and did not identify any similar performance issues. The inspectors then compared the issue to the minor screening questions in IMC 0612 Appendix B Issue Screening and determined that the issue was more than minor because, if left uncorrected, the performance deficiency had the potential to lead to a more significant radiological safety concern and could result in unplanned radiological exposures. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the problem was not an As-Low-As-Is-Reasonably-Achievable (ALARA) planning issue, there were no overexposures, nor substantial potential for overexposures, and the licensees ability to assess dose was not compromised. The inspectors determined that the cause of the incident involved a cross-cutting aspect in the human performance area for work practices. Specifically, personnel work practices did not support human performance because the licensee did not effectively communicate expectations regarding procedural compliance and personnel failed to follow procedures. |
