| Title | Failure to Follow ALARA Planning Procedures |
| Description | The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing, non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1.a, resulting from the licensees failure to follow ALARA planning procedures. Non-safety-related gaskets were used, inadequate walk-downs were conducted, and work activities were not planned in the most efficient manner. Consequently, the collective dose for Radiation Work Permit 11-2000 was approximately 7.626 person-rem instead of the planned 2.1 person-rem. Corrective actions were still being evaluated. The failure to implement ALARA planning in accordance with procedural guidance was a performance deficiency. This finding was greater than minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone, exposure control attribute, and affected the cornerstone objective, in that, it caused increased collective radiation dose for occupational workers. Additionally, the finding was similar to example 6(i) in Appendix E to Inspection Manual Chapter 0612, Power Reactor Inspection Reports Examples of Minor Issues. This example states that an issue is more than minor if it results in a collective dose greater than 5 person-rem, and the actual dose exceeds the estimated dose by greater than 50 percent. Using the Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the inspectors determined the finding had very low safety significance because, although the finding involved ALARA planning and work controls, the licensees latest 3-year rolling average collective dose was less than 135 person-rem. This finding had a crosscutting aspect in the human performance area, associated with the work practices component because the ALARA Committee provided no feedback on the quality or comprehensiveness of the planning of Radiation Work Permit 11-2000, and radiation protection and maintenance supervisors failed to provide adequate oversight of daily ALARA activities |
