| Title | Failure to Follow Procedure Associated with Sealed Source Inventory and Leak Testing |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green), and an associated NCV of Technical Specification (TS) requirements for the failure to perform leak tests required by station procedures. The inspectors identified multiple discrepancies with the records that are required to demonstrate that sealed radioactive sources were leak tested to prevent the spread of radioactive contamination. The inspectors determined that the performance deficiency was more than minor in accordance with IMC 0612, "Power Reactor Inspection Reports," Appendix B, "Issue Screening." Specifically, if left uncorrected, the performance deficiency had the potential to lead to a more significant safety concern, in that, the failure to ensure that the sources are free of external contamination could spread radioactive contamination, including alpha contamination that is not readily detected by personnel monitoring equipment, and result in increased exposure to radiation. The inspectors concluded that this activity was within the licensees ability to foresee and should have been prevented. This finding was not subject to traditional enforcement since the incident did not result in a significant safety consequence, did not impact the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function, and was not willful. The finding was assessed using the Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, and was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the problem was not an as-low-as-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 finding involved a cross-cutting component in the area of problem identification and resolution. Specifically, the licensee did not conduct self-critical and objective assessment of the program and practice [P.6]. |
