The inspectors identified a
Severity Level IV non-cited violation of
10 CFR 50.74(c), in that, on multiple occasions, Entergy had not reported that licensed operators were taking prescription medications to control potentially disqualifying medical conditions. Once brought to the licensees attention, this issue was promptly added to their corrective action program. The corrective actions included an extent of condition review by Entergys medical department and subsequent submission of the required reports to the NRC. The inspectors determined that Entergys failure to report potentially disqualifying medical conditions in accordance with
10 CFR 50.74(c) is a performance deficiency. The inspectors also determined that this issue was within Entergys ability to foresee and prevent. In addition, the inspectors determined that traditional enforcement applies because failure to report to the NRC potentially disqualifying medical conditions of operators impacts the NRCs regulatory function. The inspectors determined that the finding was
Severity Level IV using the NRCs
Enforcement Policy and
Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix I, Licensed Operator Requalification
Significance Determination Process (
SDP). Specifically, it involved the failure to report the use of medication to control potentially disqualifying medical conditions in greater than 20 percent of the records reviewed
