NRC FORM 374A U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Page 4 of 8 License Number MATERIALS LICENSE SNM-1107 SUPPLEMENTARY SHEET Docket or Reference Number 70-1151 Amendment 22 S-10 Notwithstanding the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20.1703(c)(5), Westinghouse may use a licensed health care professional to determine the medical fitness of personnel at the Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility to use respiratory protection equipment. The respiratory protection program must be designed by, and under the supervision of, a physician. Though the physician need not administer each determination personally, the physician is ultimately responsible for the fitness determination. The physician is to be involved in the supervision of the fitness program, the review of overall results, individual cases that fall outside certain predetermined parameters, and supervision of personnel performing the tests.
