Severity Level IV: The inspectors identified a Level IV
NCV of
10 CFR 50.9, Completeness and Accuracy of Information. The inspectors identified that the facility licensee, on March 30, 2007, submitted to the NRC, an
NRC Form 396, Certification of Medical Examination By Facility Licensee, for a licensed operator applying for renewal of his reactor operator license, that was not complete and accurate in all material respects. Specifically, the
NRC Form 396 certified that the licensed operator was not required to have a corrective lens restriction on his license. When the NRC questioned the licensee on the accuracy of the most recent biennial medical examination on the submitted
NRC Form 396, the licensee submitted a revised
NRC Form 396 on April 19, 2007. The revised
NRC Form 396 included a new date for the most recent biennial medical examination, but also showed that the licensed individual was required to have a corrective lens restriction added to his license. This information was material to the NRC because the NRC relies on this certification to determine whether an applicant meets the requirements to operate the controls of a nuclear power plant pursuant to
10 CFR Part 55. The finding was determined to be more than minor because the information associated with the
license renewal of the individual was provided to the NRC under a signed statement by the Site Vice President and could have impacted an NRC licensing decision. The licensed operator could have been, without NRC intervention, issued a license without a corrective lens restriction added to his license. The finding was determined to be of low safety significance because the
license renewal application for the reactor operator was not renewed until complete and accurate information was received on a revised
NRC Form 396 that showed a corrective lens restriction for the licensed individual. (Section 4OA5.1)
