| Title | Failure to Ensure the Emergency Contact had Knowledge About a Shipment |
| Description | The inspectors identified a noncited violation of 10 CFR 71.5 and 49 CFR Part 172.604(a) for a failure to ensure that the shift manager, whose phone number was listed as the required 24-hour emergency phone number on shipping documents, was knowledgeable about the radioactive waste shipment that left site on December 16, 2009, and had immediate access to a person who had specific information on the shipment. Specifically, the shift manager was listed as the required 24-hour contact; however, the shift managers (on multiple shifts) were not provided with documentation or information about the shipments that left the site on December 16, 2009. Although the shift manager would have eventually contacted a knowledgeable person, this delay would not have resulted in immediate access to the person with information related to the shipment. The licensee immediately provided the shift manager a copy of the shipping documentation, briefed the shift manager, and entered this issue into their corrective action program as Condition Report CR-RBS-2009-06419. This performance deficiency was more than minor because it adversely affected the public radiation safety cornerstone to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain in that the failure to have shipment information immediately available could restrict the actions of fire department and/or rescue personnel responding to an accident. When processed through the Public Radiation Safety Determination Process, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the finding: (1) was associated with radioactive material control, (2) involved the licensees program for radioactive material transportation, (3) did not cause radiation limits to be exceeded, (4) did not involve a breach of package during transit, (5) did not involve a certificate of compliance finding, (6) did not involve a low level burial ground nonconformance, and (7) did not involve a failure to make notifications. The inspectors determined the finding had a crosscutting aspect in area of resources, associated with documentation, because the licensees procedures did not provide guidance on informing the control room about shipments and thus, the procedures were not complete, accurate nor up-to-date H.2(c) (Section 2PS2) |
