SUBJECT:
SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT - LICENSED OPERATOR POSITIVE FITNESS-FOR-DUTY TEST
Dear Mr. Powell:
On February 11, 2020, in accordance with 10 CFR 26.719, your facility reported that an NRC-licensed operator tested positive following a fitness-for-duty test administered on February 11, 2020 (Event Report 54517). Although we have obtained preliminary information, this letter is a formal request for information pertaining to this occurrence. Within 30 days of the date of this letter, please provide a response to the questions listed in the enclosure. In addition, please provide other records and information on this operator's fitness-for-duty that are relevant to this occurrence. If you are unable to meet this deadline, please notify us no later than 15 days from the date of this letter, with the reasons for the delay and a proposed date of submittal.
We request that any personal, proprietary, or safeguards information in your response be contained in a separate enclosure and appropriately marked. The affidavit required by 10 CFR 2.390(b) must accompany your response, where applicable.
You should determine whether the operator meets the requirements of 10 CFR 55.33(a)(1).
You should ensure that: (1) the operator meets the general health requirements of ANSI/ANS-3.4-1983, (2) the operator does not have a disqualifying condition under Section 5.3 of that standard, and (3) documentation describing the designated physician's conclusion that the operator meets the requirements of ANSI/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, Certification of Medical Examination by Facility Licensee, and sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Regional Administrator, Region IV, 1600 East Lamar Blvd., Arlington, TX 76011-4511.
If you determine that the operator no longer meets the medical qualifications described in 10 CFR 55.33(a)(1), then, in accordance with 10 CFR 55.25, you must notify the NRC, in writing, 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 ANSI/ANS-3.4-1983.
G. Powell 2 The NRC will evaluate the information in your response to this letter to determine if further action is warranted pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50 or Part 55. The information supplied will be maintained in NRC Privacy Systems of Records-16 and will be subject to the Privacy Act.
Please provide a copy of this letter, as well as your response to this letter, to the operator. If you are unwilling to provide this information to the operator for any reason, the NRC will provide the information to the operator when it is available as part of the operators docket file.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact me at 817-200-1159.
The requested information should be sent to NRC Region IV, Attn: Gregory Werner, 1600 East Lamar Blvd., Arlington, TX 76011-4511. Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,
/RA/
