The inspectors identified a noncited viola … The inspectors identified a noncited violation of Technical Specification 5.8.1.a which resulted from a worker failing to follow procedural requirements.

As immediate corrective action, the licensee completed the skin dose calculation and documented the occurrence in the corrective action program as Condition Report 2008-2904. The failure to properly document skin contamination is a performance deficiency. This finding is greater than minor because if left uncorrected the finding would become a more significant safety concern, in that the failure to properly document skin contamination events could result in an individual exceeding the shallow dose exposure limit. Using the Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the inspectors determined the finding had very low significance because: (1) it was not an as low as is reasonably achievable finding, (2) there was no overexposure, (3) there was no substantial potential for an overexposure, and (4) the ability to assess dose was not compromised. Additionally, the finding had a crosscutting aspect in the area of human performance, work practice component (H.4.a), because the workers did not use self- or peer- checking as a human error prevention technique to ensure proper documentation and calculation of skin dos documentation and calculation of skin dos +
