Title | Movement of Radioactive Material Results in an Unposted and Un-Barricaded High-Radiation Area |
Description | A self-revealed finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of Technical Specification 5.7.1 was identified when movement of a bag of radioactive material caused an area to become a high radiation area without the proper posting and barricades. The licensee immediately moved this bag of radioactive material to a posted locked high-radiation area and entered this issue into their CAP as CRPLP201505019. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Program and Process attribute of the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of worker health and safety from exposure to radiation. Specifically, the movement of the bag from an area that was a high-radiation area to an area that was not posted and barricaded as a high-radiation area removed a barrier that was intended to prevent workers from receiving unexpected dose. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance in accordance with IMC 0609 Appendix C, Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, dated August 19, 2008. The violation was of very low safety significance because: (1) it did not involve as-low-as-reasonably-achievable 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 had a cross-cutting aspect of Teamwork in the Human Performance cross-cutting area because the individuals and work groups involved did not communicate or coordinate their activities within and across organizational boundaries to ensure nuclear safety was maintained [H.4]. |
