| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978. Appendix A lists procedures for access control to radiation areas. Procedure EN-RP-100, Radworker Expectations, Revision 3, Section 5.3[9] requires the radiation work permit to be read, understood, and obeyed as a condition of radiologically controlled area access. Procedure EN-RP-100, Radworker Expectations, Revision 3, Section 5.4[3](h) requires the worker know where to properly perform his/her task. Section 5.3[17] requires the worker be briefed and sign on the appropriate radiation work permit. Section 5.3[11] requires the worker know the radiological conditions in the work area. The licensee identified an example of a worker entering a high radiation area using an inappropriate radiation work permit and without knowing the dose rates in the area. On October 24, 2009, a security officer entered shutdown heat exchanger Room B and received an electronic dosimeter dose rate alarm. The room was posted as a high radiation area and dose rates within the area were as high as 140 millirem per hour. The officer entered the radiological controlled area using Radiation Work Permit 2009005, Tours and Inspection in All Radiological Controlled Areas, Except High Radiation Areas, Locked High Radiation Areas, Very High Radiation Areas, and the Reactor Containment Building. Because the radiation work permit did not allow entry into high radiation areas, radiation protection personnel did not anticipate the officer would enter the room and did not brief the officer on the dose rates in the area. In response, the licensee conducted a human performance error review and counseled the officer. This finding was of very low safety significance because it did not involve an actual or substantial potential of an overexposure. This finding was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report CR-WF3-2009-05648. |
