.The Radiation Protection Department responded by-immediately blocking all doors leading to the Unit 2 Spent FuelLPool Skimmer. Filter Room.
Personnel responsible for failing to take action to properly control this area were disciplined._ Meetings were held with Radiation Protection Department personnel to inform them of the incident:and to emphasize the.importance of conducting : thorough surveys and questioning'. abnormal conditions'and the need for proper posting of area._
Department personnel have been instructed to document (on the survey map) all postings
.within an area when c'onducting a zone survey.
A trending mechanism is being utilized to provide early warning to Radiation Protection personnel of:the need to take corrective action due to changing dose rates for this and-other areas where changing dose rates exist.
An instruction was-placed in the night order book for
. Radiation Protection Technicians giving instructions regarding the-identification of High Radiation or High ConLamination readings on Radiation-Contamination survey forms.
The filter survey form was modified to include the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Spent Fuel Pool Skimmer Filter.
