Two of the major components are health physics technician (HPT) and general radiation worker (crafts) groups. Human performance is impacted by several vital factors -- qualification and training. The selection, qualification and training requirements for facility personnel are generally governed by a commitment in the plant technical specifications (to ANS standard). For HPTs and others, 10 CFR 50.120 (training rule) requires HPTs (including contractors) to be task qualified for their assigned normal and outage duties. The team members reviewing this key attribute should coordinate their activities to ensure that the following inspection requirements are addressed: 1. Assess the effectiveness of identifying, evaluating, and correcting deficiencies involving human performance. 2. Review specific problem and issues identified by inspections to determine if concerns exist in the human performance cross-cutting area components as detailed in IMC 0310. 02.05 Assessment of Performance in the Radiation Safety Strategic Performance Area - Public Radiation Safety (Radiological Effluent Monitoring, Radioactive Material Control, and Transportation of Radioactive Material). a. Key Attribute - Plant Facilities / Equipment and Instrumentation for Public Radiation Safety. The improper installation, modification, maintenance, or calibration of radioactive effluent monitoring equipment, and associated radiochemistry laboratory equipment and meteorological system equipment can adversely affect licensee performance in achieving and demonstrating compliance with regulatory limits and ALARA design objectives for radioactive effluents. For transportation activities, shipping packages not prepared in accordance with their applicable design requirements increase the potential for unexpected exposure or loss of radioactive material which could result in uncontrolled and unnecessary exposure to members of the public. To prevent the inadvertent release of licensed radioactive material from the control requires the use of sensitive radiation survey equipment that is properly setup and calibrated. The team members reviewing this area should ensure the following requirements are addressed: 1. Review the results of audits and appraisals performed for the designated time period. Review deficiency reports (also referred to as incident reports or condition reports) issued for the area being inspected. 2. Perform a walkdown of the selected facility or equipment to assess its physical condition. Review any significant changes made by the licensee to the facilities or equipment that were not included in the prior inspection period. 3. Determine the level of management support for the maintenance of facilities and equipment of the program.
