Finding

Title

Failure to Follow Radiation Work Permit Instructions

Description

The inspectors identified a noncited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, Procedures, involving the failure to follow procedure requirements related to adding work to existing radiation work permits. Specifically, welding was performed in a locked high radiation area on radiation work permit 110039, which did not cover that type of activity. The licensee placed the finding into the corrective action program as Condition Report 35522 and acknowledged that the radiation work permit used was inappropriate for the work completed. The failure to follow a procedure was a performance deficiency. The finding was more than minor because it negatively impacted the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstones attribute of program and process, in that the inappropriate use of a radiation work permit led to workers unplanned and unintended dose. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because: (1) it was not associated with ALARA planning or work controls, (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 deficiency had a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance related to work controls. Specifically, there was inappropriate coordination and communication of work activities between work groups H.3.b] (2RS01).
