| Title | Failure of a Radiation Protection Technician to Provide Adequate Job Coverage |
| Description | The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing, non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.7.1 that resulted because a radiation protection technician failed to provide adequate job coverage. In response, the licensee coached the involved individuals involved about the acceptable radiation work practice. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as Condition Report 2013-00479. The failure to provide adequate radiation protection job coverage was a performance deficiency. The requirement not met was Technical Specification 5.7.1. The significance of the performance deficiency was more-than-minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute of program and process (exposure control) and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation because the failure exposed workers to higher than anticipated radiation dose rates. The Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone was affected; therefore, the inspectors used Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, dated August 19, 2008, to determine the significance of the violation. The violation had very low safety significance because: (1) it was not an as low as is reasonably achievable finding, (2) there was no overexposure, (3) there was no substantial potential for an overexposure, and (4) the ability to assess dose was not compromised. This violation had a cross-cutting aspect in the human performance area, associated with the decision making component, because licensee personnel did not make a risk-significant decision using a systematic process when faced with uncertain or unexpected plant conditions |
