| Title | Failure to Follow Radiological Work Permit Requirements |
| Description | The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a for the failure of a worker to follow radiological work permit requirements. Specifically, a chemistry technician received a dose rate alarm that was greater than 120 millirem per hour and failed to immediately exit the area and contact radiation protection. The licensee entered the finding into the corrective action program as Condition Report CR-2011-010774. The failure to follow the instructions on a radiation work permit by not immediately contacting radiation protection when a dose rate alarm was received was a performance deficiency. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the occupational radiation safety cornerstone attribute of program and process and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation during routine operations. Using NRC Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because: (1) it was not associated with as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA) planning or work controls, (2) there was no overexposure, (3) there was no substantial potential for an overexposure, and (4) the ability to assess dose was not compromised. The finding has a human performance crosscutting aspect associated with work practices because the licensee failed to effectively communicate expectations regarding procedural compliance to the worker |
