| Title | Failure to Ensure Licensed Operators Met License Conditions for Medical Examinations |
| Description | The inspector identified a Severity Level IV non-cited violation of 10 CFR 55.21, Medical Examination, for two licensed reactor operators failing to have a medical examination by a physician every two years. This violation was identified by an NRC inspector May 25, 2011 and Exelon entered it into their corrective action program and performed the medical examinations on the two reactor operators. The inspectors determined that the failure to perform the biennial medical examinations for two licensed reactor operators in accordance with 10 CFR 55.21 was a performance deficiency that was reasonably within Exelons ability to foresee and correct. Because the issue impacted the regulatory process, in that the medical conditions of two licensed operators were not reviewed and reported to the NRC, thereby delaying the NRCs opportunity to review the matter, the inspectors evaluated this performance deficiency in accordance with the traditional enforcement process. Using example 6.4.d.1 from the NRC Enforcement Policy, the inspector determined that the violation was a SL IV (more than minor concern that resulted in no or relatively inappreciable potential safety or security consequence) violation, because Exelon personnel did not perform the medical examinations required by 10 CFR 55.21. The finding was of very low safety significance because during the time period when the physicals were required to be performed, neither operator had stood watch, and when the physicals were administered on June 2, 2011, all requirements were met. No changes to the conditions on either operators license were necessary following their physicals. In accordance with Inspection Manual chapter (IMC) 0612, Appendix B, traditional enforcement issues are not assigned cross-cutting aspects. |
