| Title | Failure to follow radiation protection procedural requirements |
| Description | The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing noncited violation of Technical Specification 6.8.1 which resulted from a worker failing to follow radiation protection procedures. A contract radiation worker went to work near steam generator 1 rather than the area for which he/she was briefed and received multiple electronic dosimeter dose rate alarms, but did not leave the area until receiving a continuous dose alarm. In response, the licensee investigated the occurrence and restricted the individuals access. Additional actions were being evaluated. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Reports CR-WF3-2009-05648 and WF3-2009-06852. This finding is greater than minor because it involved the program attribute of exposure control and affected the cornerstone objective in that the failure of the worker to follow procedural guidance resulted in the worker being unknowledgeable to the dose rates in all areas entered. The inspectors used the Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process and determined the finding had very low safety significance because it was not: (1) an as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) finding, (2) an overexposure, (3) a substantial potential for overexposure, or (4) an inability to assess dose. The finding had a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance, work practices component, because the worker failed to use human error prevention techniques such as self and peer checking H.4(a) (Section 2OS1) |
