Letter from U.S. NRC (S. J. Collins) to Holders of Licenses for Operating Power Reactors as Listed in Attachment 1 to the Order, "Issuance of Order for Compensatory Measures Related to Training Enhancements on Tactical and Firearms Proficiency and Physical Fitness Applicable to Armed Nuclear Power Plant Security Force Personnel", dated April 29, 2003

Letter from U.S. NRC (E. J. Leeds) to Holders of Licenses for Operating Power Reactors as Listed in Enclosure 1, "Relaxation of Order for Compensatory Measures Related to Fitness-for-Duty Enhancements Applicable to Nuclear Facility Security Force Personnel," dated June 8, 2009 In Reference 1, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Order EA-03-038 requiring compliance with specified compensatory measures related to fitness-for-duty (FFD) enhancements applicable to nuclear facility security personnel. Order EA-03-038 states that "all measures implemented or actions taken in response to this Order shall be maintained until the Commission determines otherwise."
In Reference 2, the NRC acknowledged that the amendment of 10 CFR 26 strengthened the effectiveness of fitness-for-duty programs and established clear and enforceable requirements for the management of worker fatigue, including security personnel. The rule became effective on April 30, 2008. The NRC further recognized that Order EA-03-038 would need to be relaxed prior to 10 CFR 26, Subpart I, implementation due to some conflicting terminology and work hour calculation methodology.
Due to a scheduled fall refueling outage, PBAPS has implemented 10 CFR 26, Subpart I, today.
