| Title | Failure to Determine Dose Rates Prior to Entering a High Radiation Area |
| Description | The inspectors identified a self-revealing Green NCV of Technical Specification (TS) 5.7.1, High Radiation Area. Specifically, on January 24 and 25, 2016, operations personnel failed to notify the Radiation Protection (RP) department and non-licensed operators in the field when operating plant equipment that created high radiation areas (HRAs). These areas therefore were not surveyed by RP to determine dose rates prior to non-licensed operators entering the areas. Personnel entry into HRAs without knowledge of the current dose rates is a performance deficiency. In both instances, RP evaluated the operators dose, validated the dosimeter alarms, surveyed both areas in response to the dose rate alarms, and reposted the areas as HRAs. Entergy documented the events in condition reports (CR)-JAF-2016-00269 and CR-JAF-2016-00369 The finding was more than minor because it resulted in the unintended exposure of two workers and affected the Occupational Radiation Safety cornerstone attribute of program and process associated with exposure/contamination controls and if left uncorrected could result in more significant exposures. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (Green) because it was not related to as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA), did not result in an overexposure or a substantial potential for overexposure, and did not compromise the licensee's ability to assess dose. A cross-cutting aspect of Human Performance, Teamwork, was associated with this finding. Specifically, licensed operators did not communicate to RP or non-licensed operators in the field when operating plant equipment that caused plant radiological conditions to change. [H.4] |
