| Title | Failure to Evaluate Radiological Hazards for Airborne Radioactivitity |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and associated NCV of Technical Specification 5.4.1 for failure to implement procedures required to evaluate radiological hazards for airborne radioactivity. Specifically, the inspectors identified that the licensee failed to re-start an air sampler on the refuel floor which provided the only air monitoring system while workers were performing activities in the area. The corrective actions taken by the licensee included starting the required air sampler. The issue was entered in the licensees corrective action program as IR 828767. The finding is more than minor because it impacted the program and process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation, in that the failure to fully evaluate the radiological hazards present in work areas could result in unplanned exposure to workers. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because it was not an As-Low-As-Is-Reasonably-Achievable (ALARA) planning issue, there was no overexposure nor potential for overexposure, and the licensees ability to assess dose was not compromised. This finding was caused by inadequate self-checking and peer checking. Consequently, the cause of this deficiency had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance. (H.4(a)) Specifically, the licensee failed to utilize human error prevention techniques commensurate with the risk of the task |
