| Title | Noncompliance with Barricading and Posting Requirements |
| Description | A self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 20.1501(a) and Technical Specification (TS) 6.12.1 was identified for failure to perform radiological surveys to ensure that the potential radiological hazards and extent of radiation levels were evaluated for an equipment transfer box being removed from the Unit 2 upper reactor cavity. This failure resulted in dose rates greater than 100 millirem per hour (mrem/hr) at 30 centimeters (cm) from a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuum cleaner, and was discovered by two workers who received electronic dosimeter (ED) dose rate alarms of 108 and 84 mrem/hr when working near the HEPA vacuum cleaner. Dose rates of the HEPA vacuum cleaner were found to be 850 mrem/hr at 30 cm. Upon identification, the licensee posted and controlled access to the equipment transfer box and placed the HEPA vacuum cleaner into a shielded container. This condition has been placed into the licensees CAP under ARs 01946341 and 01946351. The finding was determined to be more than minor because it is associated with the Program and Process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation, in that the workers were unnecessarily exposed to high radiation area conditions. The finding was evaluated in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Appendix C (August 19, 2008), and was determined to be Green because it did not involve as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) planning or work controls, was not an overexposure, did not present a substantial potential for an overexposure, and the ability to assess dose was not compromised. The inspectors determined that this issue had a field presence crosscutting aspect in the human performance area (H.2) because supervisors did not oversee work activities by observing and reinforcing standards and expectations. |
