| Title | Failure to Follow Procedures and Radiation Exposure Permit Requirements |
| Description | The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1, because workers failed to follow radiation exposure permit requirements and entered high radiation area without authorization by entering the wrong room. As corrective action, the licensee coached the workers, restricted their access to the radiologically controlled area, and entered the issue into the corrective action program as CRDR 3988625. The failure to follow radiation exposure permit requirements is a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute (exposure control) of program and process and affected the cornerstone objective, in that entering an area outside the scope of the radiation exposure permit and not knowing the associated dose rates in the high radiation area had the potential to increase personnel dose. Using the Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the inspectors determined the finding had a 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. The finding had a human performance cross-cutting aspect associated with work practices because the individuals did not use peer or self-checking before entering the unauthorized high radiation area. |
