Hedical License Condition.
The inspectors identified one course critique which contained a negative comment that was not adequately resolved by the licensee.
In one critique.
an individual identified a licensed operator that had recurring bouts of vertigo during class.
The inspectors reviewed the operator's medical records.
The records indicated that the operator was placed on medication for this condition in June 1995.
The critique was written in June 1997.
The licensee responded to the critique by stating that the said condition was already known and documented.
However, the inspectors were concerned with the effectiveness of the prescribed medication and its impact on the operator's ability to stand no-solo.
The inspectors reviewed the operator's license for a medical license condition.
The inspectors found no condition as (perceived)
required by ANSI 3.4, paragraphs 5.2.2 and 5.3.
The facility Hedical Review Officer (HRO) questioned whether this condition constitutes a license restriction.
The operator's medical file was forwarded to the NRC's HRO for review.
The NRC's HRO concurred with the facility's HRO in that vertigo was NOT considered a disqualifying condition per ANSI 3.4.
However.
due to the nature of the operator's condition, the facility has agreed to place a precautionary restriction on the operators Part 55 license.
This item is considered closed.
