| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | 10 CFR 55.21 and 10 CFR 55.33 state, in part, that licensed operators are required to have a physical examination every two years to ensure that their 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. As part of licensed operator medical evaluations, screening questions to identify potentially disqualifying medical conditions are required as specified in ANSI/ANS-3.4-1983, Medical Certification and Monitoring of Personnel Requiring Operator Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants. Contrary to this requirement, as a result of Exelons medical examination audit completed August 8, 2014, Exelon identified nine (9) licensed operators who were given an incomplete health questionnaire during their biennial medical examination. The questionnaire failed to request information about seven (7) potentially disqualifying health conditions from ANSI/ANS-3.4-1983 during a biennial medical examination. The omission of these seven potentially disqualifying conditions from the questionnaire resulted in an incomplete medical examination. Exelon identified that the cause was an incorrect revision to the sites medical examination process procedure. The revision issue was corrected in a subsequent revision and the audit documented that the nine licensed operators all completed medical evaluations with the correct screening questions within the next 18 months. The results of the medical examination audit were documented in IR 2423783. This violation is subject to traditional enforcement because of the potential impact upon regulatory process because the operators medical conditions are reviewed by the NRC when issuing or renewing operator licenses. The inspectors determined that this issue meets the criteria for a Severity Level IV violation using example 6.4.d.1(c) from the NRC Enforcement Policy because the operators who potentially did not meet ANSI/ANS-3.4, Section 5, due to an incomplete medical examination, subsequently were found to meet the health requirements for licensing. This is of very low safety significance because no incorrect regulatory decision was made as a result of the incomplete medical questionnaire and because no changes to license restrictions were required. |
