| Title | Failure to Provide Station ALARA Committee With Necessary Information to Ensure Occupational Radiation Exposure Is Maintained |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated non-cited violation of NRC requirements for the licensees failure to provide the Station ALARA Committee with information needed to ensure that occupational radiation exposure was maintained ALARA. Specifically, TS 5.4.1 requires, in part, that the licensee establish, implement, and maintain applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A. Section 7 of Appendix A specifies radiation protection procedures for the implementation of ALARA program. Licensee procedures RP-AA-400-1006, Outage Exposure Estimating and Tracking, and RP-AA-401, Operational ALARA Planning and Controls, required effective reviews of the accumulated dose at prescribed intervals to assess the established ALARA controls and to identify/implement prompt dose reduction strategies to minimize exposure to the workers. Contrary to this, the licensee failed to implement steps in these procedures to review the accumulated dose at prescribed intervals on multiple occasions during the L2R14 refueling outage. Corrective actions included instituting appropriate radiological controls and initiating apparent cause evaluations. The inspectors reviewed Inspection Manual Chapter 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening and determined that the issue was more than minor because it is associated with the program and process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone and adversely affected the associated cornerstone objective, in that, additional radiation exposure was expended during the refueling outage. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix C, Occupation Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Work Practices, because personnel did not follow procedures. |
