| Title | Failure to Maintain Doses ALARA for the Alternate Fuel Pool Cooling Modification Job |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding associated with the licensees failure to maintain doses as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) while performing the Alternate Fuel Pool Cooling Modification job. Specifically, the licensee failed to effectively apply dose reduction methods, evaluate dose rates in a timely manner, prevent loitering and minimize workers in high dose fields, and implement in-field supervision as needed. As immediate corrective action, the licensee held site ALARA committee meetings and in-progress reviews to discuss the issues and developed lessons learned to incorporate into future job activities. The issue was documented into the licensees corrective action program as Action Request 321415. The failure to maintain doses ALARA while performing the Alternate Fuel Pool Modification job was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it was associated with the program and process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation from radioactive material during routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, dated August 19, 2008, the inspectors determined the finding was of very low safety significance because: (1) it was associated with ALARA planning and (2) the licensees current three-year rolling average collective dose of 102 person-rem was less than the 240 person-rem threshold for boiling water reactors. The finding had a field presence cross-cutting aspect, in the human performance cross-cutting area, because the licensee failed to have both radiation protection and engineering leaders commonly seen in the work areas of the plant observing, coaching, and reinforcing standards and expectations [H.2] |
