Key findings, inspector's opinions and reasons for judgement made
I carried out a compliance inspection at the NRS Trawsfynydd site in order to ensure that site's arrangements for LC12 (Duly Authorised and Other Suitably Qualified and Experienced Persons) and LC23 (Operating Rules) are adequate, and have been adequately implemented. I selected the upcoming dust in FED Cells POCO (post-operational cleanout) LPW Retrievals project as the key sample for the inspection.
As part of the inspection, I also followed up on the recent issue with the Gamma Monitor fingerprints (RI-11865) to ensure that adequate additional training has been provided to the relevant SQEPs to prevent the issue or a similar issue from reoccurring.
I gained assurance that site's arrangements and implementation of LC12 and LC23 were adequate, and was also satisfied with the additional training provided to the relevant SQEPs on waste characterisation and fingerprints. I therefore assigned a green rating to the inspection.
Conclusion
I considered applicable legislation and relevant good practices including, but not limited to,
- Licence Conditions 12 (1,2) and 23 (1,3)
- NS-INSP-GD-012 Issue 4 Licence Condition 12 - Duly authorised and other suitably qualified and experienced persons
- NS-INSP-GD-023 Issue 7 Licence Condition 23 - Operating Rules
Based on the evidence sampled during this inspection, I judged there were no significant compliance shortfalls in NRS's arrangements, and therefore I assigned a green inspection rating.
Crynodeb gweithredol
Diben yr Arolygiad
Nod yr arolygiad hwn yw ceisio sicrhad bod trefniadau NRS Trawsfynydd ar gyfer cydymffurfiad ag Amod Trwydded 12 (Pobl wedi'u Hawdurdodi'n Briodol a Phobl Eraill sydd â Phrofiad a Chymwysterau Addas) ac Amod Trwydded 23 (Rheolau Gweithredu) yn ddigonol, a'u bod wedi'u gweithredu'n ddigonol.
Pwrpas yr Arolygiad
Y gweithgareddau dilynol oedd pwnc yr arolygiad hwn
- Amod Trwydded 12 - Pobl wedi'u hawdurdodi'n briodol a phobl eraill sydd â phrofiad a chymwysterau addas - Gwyrdd
- Amod Trwydded 23 - Rheolau gweithredu - Gwyrdd
Canfyddiadau Allweddol
Gwneuthum arolygiad o gydymffurfiad ar safle Trawsfynydd NRS er mwyn sicrhau bod trefniadau'r safle ar gyfer Amod Trwydded 12 (Pobl wedi'u Hawdurdodi'n Briodol a Phobl Eraill sydd â Phrofiad a Chymwysterau Addas) ac Amod Trwydded 23 (Rheolau Gweithredu) yn ddigonol, ac wedi eu gweithredu'n ddigonol. Dewisais y prosiect Adalw LPW o lwch sydd ar ddod mewn Celloedd FED POCO (glanhau ôl-weithredol) fel y sampl allweddol ar gyfer yr arolygiad.
Yn rhan o'r arolygiad, gwnes waith dilynol hefyd ar y mater ddiweddar gydag ôl bysedd y Monitor Gamma (RI-11865) i sicrhau bod hyfforddiant ychwanegol digonol wedi ei ddarparu i'r SQEPs perthnasol er mwyn atal y broblem neu broblem debyg rhag codi eto.
Cefais sicrwydd bod trefniadau'r safle a gweithrediad Amod Trwydded LC 12 ac LC 23 yn ddigonol, ac roeddwn yn fodlon hefyd gyda'r hyfforddiant ychwanegol a ddarparwyd i'r SQEPs perthnasol ar nodweddion gwastraff ac olion bysedd. Felly, aseiniais sgôr GWYRDD i'r ymchwiliad.
Y Beirniadaethau a Wnaed
Ystyriais ddeddfwriaeth berthnasol ac arferion da cysylltiedig yn cynnwys, ond heb eu cyfyngu i,
- Amodau Trwydded 12 (1,2) a 23 (1,3)
- NS-INSP-GD-012 Cyhoeddiad 4 Amod Trwydded 12 - Pobl wedi'u hawdurdodi'n briodol a phobl eraill sydd â phrofiad a chymwysterau addas
- NS-INSP-GD-023 Cyhoeddiad 7 Amod Trwydded 23 - Rheolau Gweithredu
Ar sail y dystiolaeth a samplwyd yn ystod yr ymchwiliad hwn, roeddwn yn barnu nad oedd unrhyw wendidau sylweddol mewn cydymffurfiad yn nhrefniadau NRS, ac felly aseiniais sgôr arolygiad GWYRDD.
