| Title | Inadequate Work Planning for Strain Gauge Resulted in Unplanned Exposure |
| Description | A self-revealing finding of very low safety significance was identified because Entergy personnel did not adequately plan and prevent unnecessary exposure consistent with Radiation Work Permit No. 08-0524 controls. Specifically, Entergy staff work planning deficiencies relative to a main steam line strain gauge modification resulted in additional unplanned collective exposure (11.32 person-rem compared to a work activity original estimate of 6.1 person-rem). The job site conditions for installation of the strain gauges were not adequately evaluated by Entergy staff for interferences and the support work involving scaffolding and insulation removal were not adequately planned and coordinated to prevent additional unnecessary exposure. This finding was entered into the corrective action program as CR-JAF-2008-3181. This finding is greater than minor because it is 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 nuclear reactor operation. The inspectors evaluated the significance of this finding using IMC 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process.@ The inspectors determined this finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because it involved an actual collective exposure greater than 5 person-rem that was greater than 50% above the estimated or intended exposure. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance because Entergys planned work activities did not adequately incorporate work site interferences or outage work coordination in the work control planning process.
