| Title | Failure to Implement Appropriate Radiological Controls for the Removal of Insulation in a Posted High Contamination Area |
| Description | A self-revealed finding of very low safety significance and an associated non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a was identified. Specifically, the licensee failed to implement appropriate radiological controls for the removal of insulation in a posted high contamination area. The issue was entered in the licensees corrective action program as AR 01297713. The licensees immediate corrective actions placed the job on hold, assessed the radiological significance for the issue, and suspended qualifications for the radiation protection technician (RPT) involved. The finding is more than minor because the performance deficiency is associated with the Program and Process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the adequate protection of the workers health and safety from exposure to radiation from radioactive material during routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. Specifically, the failure to implement the radiological controls established in the radiation worker permit (RWP) as-low-as-isreasonably- achievable (ALARA) file caused workers to receive additional, unplanned dose to the workers. The finding was assessed using the Occupational Radiation Safety SDP and was determined to be of very-low safety significance because this was not related to the unplanned or unintentional occupational collective dose resulting from a deficiency in the ALARA planning, did not result in an overexposure, or a substantial potential for overexposure, nor was the ability to assess dose compromised. The radiological controls specified in RWP 10012059 for this activity were not implemented because the RPT assumed the scope of work and failed to review the RWP ALARA requirements before the briefing. Consequently, the inspectors determined that the cause of this incident involved a cross-cutting component in the human performance area for work practices. Specifically, personnel work practices did not support human performance. |
