Specifically, olfactory and tactile testing were deleted by a procedure change that was implemented in May 1999. Because the issue affected the NRC=s ability to perform its regulatory function, it was evaluated using the traditional enforcement process. Although licensed operators were subsequently tested and found to have passed the olfactory and tactile tests, this failure had regulatory significance because the incomplete and inaccurate information was provided under a signed statement to the NRC and impacted numerous licensing decisions. This was preliminarily determined to be an apparent violation of
10 CFR 50.9, Completeness and Accuracy of Information. No cross cutting aspect was identified for the finding due to the age of the performance deficiency (e.g., 1999)
