| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | The inspectors reviewed a licensee-identified, non-cited violation of Technical Specification 5.8.1 for failure to follow Radiation Work Permit 11-3530, Task-3, which required workers to wear respiratory protection equipment in the lower cavity. On April 19, 2011, an individual working on the upender in the lower cavity had positive radioactivity results from his lapel air sample. The licensee investigated, performed a dose assessment, and assigned a dose from the lapel air sample of 39 mrem to the worker. The licensee found that the worker did not use respiratory protection equipment as required by the radiation work permit. Technical Specification 5.8.1 requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Quality Assurance Program Requirements, Revision 2, Appendix A, 1978. Section 7(e)(1) lists radiation protection procedures for the control of radioactivity and limiting personnel exposure, including a radiation work permit system. Radiation Protection Plan, Revision 24, Section 2.3.11, states that station personnel are responsible for complying with the requirements in Procedure SO-G-101, Radiation Worker Practices, Revision 33. Procedure SO-G-101, Sections 4.3.2 and 5.4.4 requires that personnel adhere to the requirements listed on the radiation work permit they are using. Radiation Work Permit 11-3530, Task-3, required workers to wear specified respiratory protection equipment while in the lower cavity. Contrary to the above, on April 19, 2011, an individual working on the upender in the lower cavity was determined to be contaminated, and it was determined that the worker did not wear the specified NIOSH approved respiratory protection equipment required by the radiation work permit. Using the Occupational Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, the inspector determined the finding to have very low safety significance because: (1) it was not associated with 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 does was not compromised. This issue was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Condition Reports 2011-3323 and 2011-9794. |
