The inspectors identified a non-cited violThe inspectors identified a non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.4.1, associated with station personnels failure to follow radiation work permit requirements. Specifically, inspectors observed workers breaching a contaminated system during planned maintenance activities without radiation protection personnel present as specified by the radiation work permit requirements. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Report CR-CNS-2012-02716. The inspectors determined that the failure of craft personnel to follow radiation work permit requirements when breaching contaminated systems was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because if left uncorrected, the continued failure of craft personnel to follow radiation work permit requirements when breaching contaminated systems could become more significant, in that, it could lead to personnel contamination events and unplanned/unexpected dose, and is therefore a finding. The finding was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the inspector determined the finding to be of very low safety significance because: (1) it was not associated with as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) planning or work controls; (2) there was no overexposure; (3) there was no substantial potential for an overexposure; and (4) the ability to assess dose was not compromised. The finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with the decision-making component because workers failed to use conservative assumptions in decision making when breaching a contaminated system for maintenance.ing a contaminated system for maintenance.  +
