VIOLATION: Technical Specification (TS) 6.13.1 states, in part that "In lieu of the
' control device' or ' alarm signal' required by paragraph 20.203(c)(2) of 10. +
CFR 20, each high radiation area in which the intensity of radiation'is greater than 100 mrem /hr but less than 1000 mrem /hr shall be barricaded and conspicuously posted as a high radiation area and entrance thereto shall be controlled by requiring issuance of a Radiation Work Permit (RWP)."
Contrary to the above, on April 26, 1993, the inspectors found a high radiation area (also a contamination area) which had not been barricaded. The unbarricaded high radiation area was found in the Old Radwaste Building by the fuel pool cooling system piping. The duration of this condition was indeterminable.
This is a Severity Level IV violation.
RESPONSE: GPUN concurs witn the violation as stated.
The investigation to determine why the barrier was missing was not conclusive, nor could it be determined when the barrier was removed. It was, however, determined that the barrier could have been missing for as long as three days.
The area of concern is located in the Old Radwaste Control Room. Much of the equipm n in this area has been placed out-of-service and the need to physichi y enter the area of concern is minimal.
~
Subsequent to being notified by the inspectors of the missing barrier, the following
.
actions were taken:
- The area of concern was immediately corrected by installing a rope barrier across the 3 ft. wide opening. All other potential access points to the high-radiation area were properly barricaded. ,
- Plant tours were conducted to identify if other high radiation barrier discrepancies existed. One barrier was identified which required adjustment.
- Self-closing gates were installed in several areas to replace rope barriers as a means of reducing human error, r
- An insert has been installed at high radiation area access points and at some locations on barriers to inform personnel that a physical barrier is a technical specification requirement.
- An article was printed in Oyster Creek's weekly newsletter, Power Points, to inform personnel of the technical specification requirement for a physical barrier and to stress the importance of ensuring barriers are replaced when passing through.
- The requirement for a high radiation barrier is currently being emphasized in General Employee Training (GET) and a permanent change to the employee training handout is being maae to clearly state the requirement.
Full compliance was achieved on April 26, 1993 when the barrier was replaced.
