| Title | Failure to Conduct Operations and Control Work Practices to Minimize Residual Radioactivity into the Site, including the Subsurface |
| Description | The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of 10 CFR 20.1406(c) because the licensee failed to conduct operations to minimize the introduction of residual radioactivity into the site. Specifically, the licensee failed to implement procedural requirements to identify and evaluate the environmental risk and control work practices to prevent spills and leaks with a credible mechanism to reach groundwater between the annual periods of 2013 through 2015. This resulted in several spill/leak events which resulted in contaminated areas and radioactivity reaching the environment and groundwater. The licensee documented this finding in their corrective action program as CR-RBS-2015-08831. The failure to conduct operations and control work practices to prevent spills and leaks with a credible mechanism to reach groundwater and minimize residual radioactivity into the site was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and thus a finding, because it is associated with the program and process attribute of the Public Radiation Safety Cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the licensees ability to prevent inadvertent release and/or loss of control of licenses material to an unrestricted area. In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Appendix D, Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the issue involved radioactive material control, but did not involve: (1) transportation or (2) public exposure in excess of 0.005 rem. The finding had a Work Management cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance because the licensee failed to implement a process of planning, controlling, and executing work activities such that nuclear or environmental safety was the overriding priority in which the work process includes the identification and management of risk commensurate to the work and the need for coordination with different groups or job activities. |
