| Title | Failure to perform complete analysis of air samples |
| Description | An NRC-Identified non-cited violation (NCV) of TS 5.4.1 was identified for the failure of the licensee to perform complete quantitative analysis of air samples using approved counting equipment as required by the licensees procedures. NMP-HP-301, Step 5.6, provides guidance for quantitative evaluation of air samples. On February 16, and 25, 2015, air samples for work activities in the Reactor Pressure Vessel head (RPV) and the Reactor Water Cleanup (RWCU) System heat exchanger were not quantitatively analyzed or evaluated for alpha activity even though the areas had been identified as having elevated alpha contamination levels. The licensee entered the issue into their corrective action program (CAP) as CR 10034556. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Program attribute of exposure control and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation from airborne radioactive material during routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. Failure to identify potentially significant contributors to internal dose could lead to unmonitored occupational exposures. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it did not involve: (1) an as low as is reasonably achievable finding, (2) an overexposure, (3) a substantial potential for overexposure, or (4) an impaired ability to assess dose related to As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) Planning and the ability to assess dose was not compromised during this instance. The cause of this finding was directly related to the cross-cutting aspect of following processes, procedures, and work instructions in the Procedure Adherence component of the Human Performance area. |
