| Title | Failure to Barricade and Lock a Locked High Radiation Area |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of Technical Specification 5.7.2 for failure to barricade, lock, or continuously guard a high radiation area with dose rates greater than 1000 millirem per hour. On January 24, 2008, licensee staff failed to properly barricade and lock or guard three entrances to the under vessel area of the drywell. As corrective actions, the licensee suspended access to the Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) for the personnel involved and initiated a prompt investigation, including assessment of the extent of condition plant-wide. The licensee entered the issued into the corrective action program as Issue Report (IR) 726499. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Program/Process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure worker health and safety from exposure to radiation, in that, failure to follow procedures for control of locked high radiation areas could result in unplanned exposure. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the finding did not involve As-Low-As-Is-Reasonably-Achievable (ALARA) planning, collective dose was not a factor, it did not involve an overexposure, there was not a substantial potential for a worker overexposure, and the licensee=s ability to assess worker dose was not compromised. Additionally, this finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance because radiation protection staff did not appropriately follow procedures (H.4(b)) which governed control of access into locked high radiation areas |
