Title | Failure to Provide Complete and Accurate Information about Operators' Health Status |
Description | The NRC identified that on May 5, 2004, a senior licensee representative submitted to the NRC a Form NRC - 396 to support an application for renewal of an SRO license, that was not complete and accurate in all material respects. The Form NRC - 396 certified that the applicant met the medical requirements of ANSI/ANS 3.4-1983 and that the applicant would not require any restrictions to the individual's license. In fact, the applicant had a potentially disqualifying medical condition dating back to October 30, 1998. [Note: The information concerning the individual's specific medical condition is considered medical privacy information under 10 CFR 2.390(2)(6) and is not specifically discussed here.] The medical condition was potentially disqualifying in accordance with ANSI/ANS 3.4, 1983, and required that the individual's license be amended to include an operating restriction. The information is material to the NRC because the NRC relies on this certification to determine whether the applicant meets the requirements to operate the controls of a nuclear power plant pursuant to 10 CFR Part 55. The licensee made changes to their administrative procedures to ensure clarity in regard to medical reporting requirements and required an annual medical file review in addition to an annual discussion with their medical review official to ensure a mutual understanding of the appropriate regulatory requirements.
Because the issue affected the NRC's ability to perform its regulatory function, it was evaluated using the traditional enforcement process. The regulatory significance was important because the incorrect information was provided under a signed statement to the NRC and impacted a licensing decision for the individual. The issue was preliminarily determined to be an apparent violation of 10 CFR 50.9. Notice of Violation Issued November 23, 2005, ML 0532902430. The VIO was opened in NRC Inspection Report 05000315/316/2005012. Apparent violation AV 05000315/316/2005006-01 is updated to VIO 05000315/316/2005006-01 (Failure of the licensee to accurately report the completion of corrective actions from a previous SLIII violation in 2004.); AV 05000315/316/2005006-02, 04, and 06 are updated to VIO 05000315/316/2005006-02 (Failure to provide accurate and complete information about operators' health prior to the NRC performing a licensing action.); and AV 05000315/316/2005006-03, and 05 are updated to VIO 05000315/316/2005006-03 (Failure of the licensee to report the change in operator medical status.). |
