LICENSED OPERATOR POSITIVE ALCOHOL TEST
Dear Mr. Feigenbaum:
i l
Your W'lity reported on September 29,1996, that an NRC-licensed operator tested posith for alcohol following a fitness-for-duty test. This letter is a request for information pertaining to this occurrence. Please provide, within 30 days after the date of this letter, answers to the questions listed in the enclosure and other records and information on the operator's past fitness-for-duty, which are relevant to this occurrence. We request that any personal, proprietary, or safeguards information in your response be contained in a t
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 ANSl/ANS-3.4-1983; (2) the operator does not have a disqualifying condition under Section 5.3 of that standard; and (3) that documentation describing the designated physician's conclusion that the operator meets the requirements of ANSI /ANS-3.4-1963 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 and transmitted to the NRC.
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, via letter, 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.
