The inspectors identified that Ginna did not notify the NRC within 30 days of the identification of a medical condition that caused a reactor operator to fail to meet the requirements of
10 CFR 55.21. Specifically, Ginna became aware of a medical condition in June 2006 that caused a licensed reactor operator to fail to meet the requirements of
10 CFR 55.21 and for which a conditional restricted license would be required. However, Ginna did not provide a Form 396 medical condition certification to the NRC until August 2006. The finding was determined to be a noncited violation of
10 CFR 50.74, Notification of Change in Operator or Senior Operator Status. This deficiency was evaluated using the traditional enforcement process since the failure to make a required report could adversely impact the NRCs ability to carry out its regulatory mission. Because this finding was of very low safety significance and has been entered into the corrective action program it is being treated as an
NCV.
