REED COLLEGE \\\W/// Portland, Oregon 97202 REACIUR FACRIrY Y#ggsk d-2ff June 11,1997 To: Nuclear Regulatory Commission Document Control Desk Washington DC 2055 Marvin Mendonca, Senior Project Manager, hTC From: Stephen Frantz, Director, Reed Reactor Facility ,
Re: Operator Physicals per 10 CFR 55.53(i)
During an internal review L, .he facility staff, the Reed College Reactor facility discovered that two j ofits licensed operators (J. Filner and S. Frantz) had performed licensed activities without a current physical. As soon as it was discovered, the following corrective action was taken:
- Any operator without a physical was forbidden from performing licensed duties until their ;
physical was up to date.
I l
- A complete report on the situation was made to Reed Reactor Facility's Reactor Operations Committee and Radiation Safety Committee. That report is attached.
To prevent reoccurrence, each year when we schedule physicals for new operators we will also /
check the records to see which licensed operators will need physicals during the next twelve months and ensure that they are scheduled.
/
Note that there was no change in the physical condition of the operators between physicals, so there is every expectation that the operators were in acceptable physical condition while operating.
[
We believe that the above corrective actions adequately address the violation. If there you have any questions, please contact us.
Sincerely, Stephen G. Frantz e{f Director, Reed Reactor Facility l

l Report to the RRF Reactor Review Committee on Operator Physicals !
10 CFR 55.53(i) requires biennial physicals. The NRC generally allows a 30 day grace period.
That means that a physical must be performed within 2
- 365 + 30 = 760 days of the previous physical. Here are all the licensed operators for which the biennial physical may be an issue.
I Name RO Lic. Date SRO Lic. Date Physical 1 Physical 2 Physical 3 J. Brosing 5 S 1/89 -
4/14/89 -
l?/9/93 J. Filner 4/13/92 3/19S3 7/19S1 3/9S4 2/5S7 !
S. Frantz -
2/7S5 11/10N4 -
2/12/97 C. Ghormley 3SS4 5/16S5 12/16S 3 4/10/95 -
M. Pollock 6/12/87 6/12B3 5S/89 6/20S 1 5K7)3 K. Reeves 3SS4 2/7B5 2/1164 1/1865 2/5S7 Note the following from the main operating log, checking back to 1990:
- J. Brosing either missed a physical in 1991 or the record was lost. However, she has intentionally not performed licensed duties and has been out of requalification since 1990. ;
- J. Filner was eight months late for his second physical and eleven months late for his third.
l He performed many licensed duties during these periods in violation of 10CRF55.53(i).
- S. Frantz was three months late for his physical. During that time he performed licensed i duties on nine days, six of which were outside the allowed grace penod.
- C. Ghormley is overdue for a physical. He may not perform licensed activities until he gets a physical. He performed licensed duties on two days since his physical lapsed (4/13/97 and 5/5S7). Both of these times were within the allowed grace period.
- M. Pollock is overdue fcr a physical. He has intentionally not performed licensed duties and has been out of requalification since 1994. In May 1991 he performed licensed duties l on eight days after his physical expired but within the allowedFrace period.
. K. Reeves has had all physicals within the allowed grace period.)
In summary, J. Filner and S. Frantz both performed licensed duties after their physicals had expired. C. Ghonnley may not perform any additional licensed duties until he obtains a physical.
For corrective action, each year when we schedule physicals for new operators we will also check the records to see which licensed operators will need physicals during the next twelve months and ensure that they are scheduled.
Note that the above constitute violations because the operator in question was the operator of record. There were usually other properly licensed operators in the facility, although they were not j the operator of record.
! Note that there wts no change in the physical condition of the operators between physicals, so j there is every expectation that the operators were in acceptable physical condition while operating.
