| Title | Unauthorized Entry Into a High Radiation Area |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green, self-revealing, Non-cited Violation of technical specification 5.7.1, High Radiation Area, for an unauthorized entry into a High Radiation Area (HRA). A maintenance worker entered a HRA in Unit 1 containment without being briefed on the radiological conditions. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as CR 523976 and took immediate corrective actions including an outage work crew stand down. This finding was more than minor because it was 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 evaluated using the occupational radiation safety significance determination process. The finding was not related to As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) 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 human performance, work practices H.4.b] because the HRA event was a direct result of poor communications during the pre-job briefing and a lack of procedure adherence on the part of the maintenance worker. The licensee entered this issue into the Corrective Action Program (CAP) as CR 523976. |
