Title | Failure to perform adequate surveys to identify potential radiological hazards during reactor cavity drain down |
Description | A self-revealing non-cited violation (NCV) of 10 CFR Part 20.1501(a) was identified for failure to perform adequate surveys to identify rising radiation levels during the lowering of water level in the reactor cavity. This resulted in an uncontrolled High Radiation Area (HRA) in a worker-occupied area of the refueling floor near the edge of the reactor cavity. The immediate corrective actions were to post the affected areas as required by licensee procedures and re-flood the cavity. The licensee entered the issue into their corrective action program as condition report (CR) 2010105943. This finding is more than minor because it was associated with the Occupational Radiation Safety Cornerstone attribute of Program and Process (Monitoring and Radiation Protection Controls) and adversely affects the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation from radioactive material during routine nuclear reactor operation. The finding was evaluated using the Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process (SDP) and was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it was not related to As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) Planning and the ability to assess dose was not compromised. In addition, it did not involve overexposure or substantial potential for overexposure because the lower cavity was inaccessible at the time of the event. The cause of this finding was directly related to the cross-cutting aspect of radiological safety in the Work Control component of the Human Performance area because the potential job site conditions (radiological hazards) associated with reduction of water shielding following underwater cutting of significant radiation sources were not adequately identified H.3(a). |
