We request that any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information in your respon-se be provided 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)(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.
