| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | 10 CFR Part 55.53(i) requires as a condition of a license, that the licensee (licensed operator) shall have a biennial medical examination. Contrary to the above, for approximately three hours on December 14, 2012, a licensed Unit 2 Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) filled the dayshift control room supervisor role without having a fully completed biennial medical examination. The SROs previous medical examination was completed November 3, 2010 and his latest medical examination should, therefore, have been completed in November 2012. Although the SRO had successfully completed the physical testing portion of the medical examination on September 19, 2012, the examination was not complete in that it still required review and approval of the licensed medical practitioner, who was not available on that day. The licensed operator did not realize his physical was incomplete and the qualification matrix, used to track whether operators meet conditions of their licenses, identified the operator as meeting all requirements to assume licensed duties. Accordingly, the SRO did not identify this deficiency prior to assuming the shift on December 14, 2012. Approximately three hours into the shift, other station personnel performing a paperwork verification of annual examination completion identified that the SRO had not completed his required biennial medical examination. The SRO was immediately relieved of watch standing duties, and his physical was subsequently completed on December 17, 2012. No disqualifying medical conditions were identified. NMPNS promptly entered the issue into its corrective action process as CR-2012- 011258 and CR-2012-011261 and initiated a root cause investigation. An extent of condition review determined that medical physical examinations for all other Nine Mile Point licensed operators were completed within the required periodicity. |
