1230 Hendricks Avenue Jacksonville, Florida 32207
Dear Mr. Parker:
I am pleased to respond to your letter to Chairman Hendrie dated April 9,1979.
Each individual who applies for an operator's license shall submit a Certificate of Medical History and Medical Examination for review by an NRC physician.
Prior to the issuance of a license, the individual's physical condition and general health must meet minimum requirements.
Regulatory Guide 1.134, " Medical Evaluation of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel Requiring Operator Licenses," endorses American National Standard, ANSI N546-1976, " Medical Certification and Monitoring of Personnel Requiring Operator Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants."
These documents provide guidance regarding our minimum requirements to the examining physician.
ANSI N546-1976 indicates that alcoholism and/or nonprescribed' habitual use of drugs are disqualifying conditions.
We do not, however, have any regulation that prohibits the use of alcohol for a specified period of time prior to a licensee reporting for work.
Thank you for your interest in this matter.
Sincerely,
/
Roger S. Boyd, Director Division of Project Management Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Enclos ure:
