Procedure OAP 12-25, Revision 0, "Radiation Work Permit Program," states that each worker performing a job under a Radiation Work Permit (RWP) must follow the requirements of the RWP and all associated documents.
Contrary to the above, on September 27, 1990, two workers performing a job under RWP 321A did not follow a requirement of the RWP to notify radiation protection personnel at the Unit 2 drywell prior to beginning work.
The workers subsequently worked, without authorization from radiation protection personnel, near a pipe with contact exposure rates ranging from 0.8 to 2 rem per hour.
- b.
Procedure DRP 1480-1, Revision 8, 11Contamination Surveys," states that any material unconditionally released from the controlled area must be surveyed prior to release.
Contrary to the above, on February 28, 1990, two scaffolding connectors were unconditionally released from the controlled area and were not surveyed prior to release. Low-level contamination was subsequently detected on the connectors after receipt of the connectors at the Braidwood Station.
- c.
Procedure OAP 12-3, Revision 12, 11Station Policy on Control of Respiratory Equipment, 11 states that respirators will not be issued to a person unless that person has had training and instruction on the purpose, limitations, and proper use of respirators in accordance with the Nuclear General Employee Training (NGET) program.
Contrary to the above, on November 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 12, 1990, a respirator was issued to a worker who had not received training and instruction on the purpose, limitations, and proper use of respirators in accordance with the NGET program.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
