| Title | Failure to Meet HRA Entry Requirements (Two Examples) |
| Description | The inspectors identified two examples of a Green, self-revealing, non-cited violation (NCV) of Technical Specification (TS) 6.12.1, High Radiation Area. TS 6.12.1 requires that entries into high radiation areas (HRAs) be controlled with issuance of a radiation work permit (RWP) and that individuals entering these areas be made knowledgeable of the dose rates. Contrary to that, on two separate occasions, workers made entries into HRAs without being issued an appropriate RWP and without being knowledgeable of area dose rates. Specifically, on March 28, 2016, a worker tagging a pump on the auxiliary building (AB) 400-01 slab entered a HRA without the required radiological briefing and appropriate RWP. Also, on April 18, 2016, a worker performing dry cask welding operations in the fuel handling building entered a HRA without the required radiological briefing and appropriate RWP. The licensee entered these events into their corrective action program as condition reports CR-16-01528 and CR-16-01863. This finding was more than minor because it is associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute of Human Performance and adversely affects the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation from radioactive material during routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. The finding was not related to As Low As Reasonably Achievable planning, nor did it involve an overexposure or substantial potential for overexposure and the ability to assess dose was not compromised. Therefore, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green). This finding involved the cross-cutting aspect of Avoid Complacency (H.12) because in both examples there were repostings, radiation areas were upgraded to HRAs due to changing radiological conditions, and prior to entry the workers failed to stop and get updated conditions and to adhere to the postings. |
