Dear Mr. Perry:
Your facility reported on January 22, 1996, that an NRC-licensed senior reactor operator tested positive for marijuana following a physical examination taken on January 19, 1996. Although we have obtained preliminary information from Mr. James Richardson of your staff, this letter is a formal request for information pertaining to this occurrence~ Please provide, within 30 days after the date of this letter, answers to the questions listed in the enclosure and other records and information on this operator's fitness for duty which are relevant to this occurrence.
We request that any personal, proprietary, or safeguards information in your response be contained in a separate attachment and appropriately marked.
The affidavit required by 10 CFR 2.790(b)* must accompany your response, where applicable.
You should determine whether the operator meets the requirements of 10 CFR 55.33(a)(l).
You should ensure that (1) the operator meets the general health requirements of ANSl/ANS-3.4-1983, (2) the operator does not have a disqualifying condition under Section 5.3 of that standard, and (3) that documentation describing the designated physician's conclusion that the operator meets the requirements of ANSl/ANS-3.4-1983~ is available for review
- by the NRC.
If a conditional license is requested per 10 CFR 55.25, that condition should be documented on NRC Form 396 and transmitted to the NRC.
If you determine that the operator no longer meets the medical qualifications described in 10 CFR 55.33(a)(l), then, in accordance with 10 CFR 55.25, you must notify the NRC via letter of the operator's permanent incapacitation.
- For example, you must notify the NRC if you determine, based on your employee assistance program in consultation with your designated physician, that the operator can no longer meet the medical criteria of ANSl/ANS-3.4-1983.
The NRC will evaluate the information in your reply to this letter to determine if further action is warranted pursuant to 10 CFR Parts 50 or 55.
The information supplied will be maintained in NRC Privacy Systems of Records-16 and will be subject to the Privacy Act.
