DISCUSSION: During the operational retest of valves MOV-3 and 5, a worker removed

the cage access panel behind the control panel and entered the cage area which contains

unguarded and uninsulated energized parts. The worker then attached an ammeter clamp on

an energized circuit. When the two MOVs were operated the worker observed the current

through the ammeter. When the test was complete the worker removed the clamp and

exited the cage. The worker was not wearing rubber gloves as required by reference 3.
