Title | Failure to implement high radiation area controls in an area with a dose rate greater than 1 rem/hour. |
Description | The inspectors reviewed a Green, self-revealing, non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.7.2, which was caused by licensee personnels failure to control a high radiation area with radiation levels greater than 1 rem/hour when lifting the moisture separator during reactor vessel reassembly. Licensee personnel corrected the error b
lowering the moisture separator into the reactor pool. The violation was entered into th licensees corrective action program as AR 287521287521 The performance deficiency was more than minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute of program and process (exposure control) and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation because licensee personnel did not implement barriers intended to prevent workers from receiving unexpected dose. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, dated August 19, 2008, the inspectors determined the violation had very low safety significance because: (1) it was not an as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA) finding, (2) there was no overexposure, (3) there was no substantial potential fo an overexposure, and (4) the ability to assess dose was not compromised. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the human performance area, associated with the wor management component, because the organization did not implement a process of planning, controlling, and executing work activities such that nuclear safety is the overriding priority [H.5].
