| Title | Failure to Provide Complete and Accurate Information on Licensed Operator Applications |
| Description | Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.9 requires, in part, that information provided to the Commission by an applicant for a license or by a licensee or information required by statue or by the Commissions regulations, orders, or license conditions to be maintained by the applicant or the licensee shall be complete and accurate in all material respects. Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 55.21 requires, in part, that an applicant for a license shall have a medical examination by a physician and the licensee shall have a medical examination by a physician every two years. The physician shall determine that the applicant or licensee meets requirements of Section 55.33(a)(1). Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 55.33(a)(1) requires, in part, that applicants' medical condition and general health will not adversely affect the performance of assigned operator job duties or cause operational errors endangering public health and safety. Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 55.23 requires, in part, that to certify the medical fitness of the applicant, an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall complete and sign NRC Form 396, Certification of Medical Examination by Facility Licensee. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Form 396, when signed by an authorized representative of the facility licensee, certifies that a physician conducted a medical examination of the applicant and that the guidance contained in American National Standards Institute/American Nuclear Society (ANSI/ANS) Standard 3.4-1996, Medical Certification and Monitoring of Personnel Requiring Operator Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants, was followed in conducting the examination and making the determination of medical qualification. American National Institute/American Nuclear Society Standard 3.4-1996, Section 5.3, provides specific minimum capacities required for medical qualifications. Section 5.3.1 requires, in part, ability to detect marker gases and products of combustion by provocation testing. Contrary to the above, prior to April 3, 2014, the facility licensee provided information to the NRC that was not complete and accurate in all material respects. Specifically, the facility licensee had not completed medical examinations of licensed operators in accordance with ANSI/ANS Standard 3.4-1996. The licensee submitted numerous NRC Forms 396 for renewal of senior reactor operator and reactor operator licenses, and for initial license applicants, that certified that the applicants met the medical requirements of ANSI/ANS Standard 3.4-1996 when, in fact, olfactory (combustion product odor) testing had not been conducted. This violation is a Severity Level IV violation. |
