Title 10 CFR 50.74, "Notification of Chang … Title 10 CFR 50.74, "Notification of Change in Operator or Senior Operator Status," requires that "each licensee shall notify the appropriate Regional Administrator within 30 days in regard to a licensed operator or senior operator: permanent disability or illness as described in Part 55.25." Contrary to the above, from February 17, 2013, to April16, 2014, the licensee failed to notify the Regional Administrator within 30 days of a permanent disability or illness of a licensed operator. Specifically, a licensed operator was prescribed medication for hypertension; however, this condition was not reported to the NRC as required by 10 CFR 55.25. The licensee documented the deficiency in Condition Report 2014-05185. The failure to report required information to the NRC is a violation. The violation was evaluated using the traditional enforcement process because it impacted the NRC's ability to perform its regulatory function. The violation was determined to be Severity Level IV because it fits the example of Enforcement Policy Section 6.4.d.1 (d), "Violation Examples: Licensed Reactor Operators." This section states, "SL IV violations involve, for example: ... an individual operator who met ANSI/ANS 3.4, Section 5, as certified on NRC Form 396, required by 1 0 CFR 55.23, but failed to report a condition that would have required a license restriction to establish or maintain medical qualification based on having the undisclosed medical condition." In this case, the licensed operator would have met the ANSI/ANS 3.4 certification; but would have required a "must take medication as required" license restriction.dication as required" license restriction. +
