| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 20.1501(a) requires that each licensee make or cause to be made surveys that may be necessary for the licensee to comply with the regulations in Part 20 and that are reasonable under the circumstances to evaluate the extent of radiation levels, concentrations or quantities of radioactive materials, and the potential radiological hazards that could be present. Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 20.1301(a) requires each licensee to conduct operations so that: (1) the total effective dose equivalent to individual members of the public from the licensed operation does not exceed 0.1 rem in a year, and (2) the dose in any unrestricted area from external sources does not exceed 0.002 rem in any one hour
Contrary to 10 CFR 20.1501(a), the licensee did not make surveys necessary to comply with 10 CFR 20.1301(a). Specifically, on June 20, 2011, the licensee shipped a Department of Transportation Type 7A Yellow III radioactive shipment by common carrier without evaluating the potential dose to the driver of the vehicle or the dose, in any one hour, in an unrestricted area. The licensee identified the error during a self-assessment, entered the issue into the corrective action program as Callaway Action Request 201305808, and evaluated the radiation levels to the driver and the dose, in any one hour, in the unrestricted area. The dose to the driver was determined to be 0.027 rem, which did not exceed the public dose limit of 10 CFR 20.1301(a). However, the dose, in any one hour, in an unrestricted area was determined by the licensee to be 0.003 rem, which did exceed the limit of 10 CFR 20.1301(a)(2). Using the Occupational Radiation Safety significance determination process, the inspectors determined the violation had very low safety significance because: (1) it was not an ALARA planning problem, (2) it was not an overexposure, (3) it did not represent a substantial potential for an overexposure, and (4) it did not compromise the licensees ability to assess dose. |
