| Title | Failure to Control a Locked-High Radiation Area Barrier |
| Description | The inspectors identified a NCV of Technical Specification (TS) 5.7.2 for the licensees failure to control access to a locked-high radiation area (LHRA). Specifically, on September 30, 2006, a contract radiation protection technician (RPT) left the reactor head inspection stand LHRA barrier unlocked and unguarded from approximately 5:05 to 5:21 a.m. Dose rates as high as 10 rad/hr at 30 cm and 4 rad/hr general area were present inside the reactor head stand LHRA. The significance of the violation was assessed using traditional enforcement because it involved willfulness [EA-08-268]. The safety significance of this violation was determined to be SL IV because the finding did not involve a situation with a substantial potential for exposure in excess of applicable limits and was a matter with more than a minor safety, health, or environmental significance. Although this violation involved willfulness, it was dispositioned as an NCV in accordance with Section IV.A.1 of the Enforcement Policy because the licensee identified the violation and promptly discussed it with regional health physics inspectors, the violation involved the acts of a low-level individual, the violation appears to be the isolated action of the employee without management involvement, and significant remedial action commensurate with the circumstances was taken by the licensee. The finding was documented in the licensees corrective action program as PIP M-06-4479. (Section 4OA5.2 |
