| Title | Incomplete and Inaccurate Medical Information Provided by the Licensee Which Impacted an Operators License Renewal |
| Description | Entergy identified two AVs of NRC requirements related to Entergy not notifying the NRC within 30 days of a change in a licensed reactor operators (ROs) medical condition and to providing information to the NRC pertaining to renewing a RO license that was not complete and accurate in all material respects. Specifically, Entergy identified an AV of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.74, Notification of Change in Operator or Senior Operator Status, for Entergys failure to notify the NRC within 30 days after learning, on October 25, 2012, that a Unit 3 RO had a permanent disability or illness (sleep apnea). Entergy also did not request an amended license with a condition to account for the medical issue, resulting in the RO performing licensed duties without a properly restricted license. Additionally, Entergy identified an AV of 10 CFR 50.9, Completeness and Accuracy of Information, pertaining to Entergys failure to provide information to the NRC in the ROs license renewal application in that it did not specify that the RO had a medical condition (sleep apnea) that required a restriction [for use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)]. The NRC, in turn, issued a license renewal that did not contain the necessary restriction. Compliance was restored on July 7, 2014, when Entergy submitted a letter to the NRC with a Form 396 indicating the new restriction for the use of a CPAP machine. On August 14, 2014, the NRC issued a license amendment with the new restriction. These issues were entered into Entergys corrective action program (CAP) as condition report (CR)-IP3-2014-1416 and CR-IP2-2014- 4202. The inspectors determined that Entergys failure to report a change in a licensed operators permanent medical condition to the NRC and subsequently provide complete and accurate information to the NRC was a performance deficiency that was within their ability to foresee and correct and should have been prevented. The inspectors determined that traditional enforcement applies, as the issue impacted the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function. The inspectors screened the issue using Section 6.4.c.4(b) of the NRC Enforcement Policy and preliminarily determined that these AVs meet the definition of a Severity Level III violation because Entergy failed to report a condition that would have required the addition of a license restriction within the required timeframe and, again, for the ROs license renewal. No associated Reactor Oversight Process finding was identified and no cross-cutting aspect was assigned. These issues constitute AVs in accordance with the NRCs Enforcement Policy, and the final significance will be dispositioned in future correspondence. Because the significance determination of this issue is not complete, it is identified as TBD. |
