Finding

Title

Failure to Evaluate Radiological Hazards for Alpha Radiation

Description

The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance and associated Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of Technical Specification 5.4.1 for failure to implement procedures required to evaluate radiological hazards for alpha contamination. The corrective actions taken by the licensee included notification of RP supervision to reject all surveys with beta/gamma contamination in excess of 100,000 dpm/100 cm2 that do include alpha information. The issue was entered in the licensees corrective action program as Action Request 755986. The finding is more than minor because it impacted the program and process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation, in that the failure to fully evaluate the radiological hazards present in work areas could result in unplanned exposure to workers. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because it was not an As-Low-As-Is-Reasonably-Achievable (ALARA) planning issue, there was no overexposure nor potential for overexposure, and the licensees ability to assess dose was not compromised. This finding was caused by inadequate review and approval of survey data by RP Supervision. Consequently, the cause of this deficiency had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance. Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure supervisory and management oversight of work activities, including contractors, such that nuclear safety is supported. H.4(c
