These items of noncompliance can generally be characterized as serious or repeated failures to follow reactor operating procedures. Two recent events involving the radiation overexposure of NRC licensed individuals through their violation of utility procedures, facility Technical Specifications and the Code of Federal Regulations have raised questions about the excercise of their responsibilities.
The purpose of this Information Notice is two-fold:
(1) To remind the NRC licensed individuals of their responsibilities, not only in the proper operation of the facility controls, but in compliance with the facility administrative procedures, and (2) To summarize the enforcement sanctions available to the NRC for use against licensed individuals.
Description of Circumstances:
1.
Responsibilities Facility licensees are charged with the responsibility to design, construct and operate their plants in accordance with NRC requirements to assure that public health and safety are protected. Tl e role of NRC licensed individuals is no less important in the overall Regulatory scheme. The NRC recognizes that timely actions by NRC licensed indivi-duals are an important part of safety.
Reliance on these actions is a part of the defense-in-depth concept.
Specifically, the NRC requires that:
(1) Only licensed operatorr
.e perm R ed to manipulate the controls that directly affect reu tivity ca (2) Licensed operators are required all times during the operation DUPLICATE DOCUMENT h
