| Title | Failure to Notify the NRC of a Permanent Illness or Disability of a Licensed Operator |
| Description | To Be Determined. On July 8, 2004, a licensed senior reactor operator (SRO) notified the stations medical staff that he began taking prescribed medication in June 2004 for a potentially disqualifying medical condition. The NRC was notified of the SROs potentially disqualifying medical condition on November 25, 2008. Title10 CFR 50.74(c), Notification of Change in Operator or Senior Operator Status, requires the licensee to notify the NRC within 30 days of the licensee being informed of a permanent change in a licensed operators medical condition. The time period between July 2004 and November 2008 exceeded the 30-day notification requirement. The licensee conducted a review of all licensed operator medical records to determine the extent of condition and initiated other compensatory measures to prevent recurrence of this condition. Because the issue affected the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function it was evaluated using the traditional enforcement process. The finding was determined to be of low safety significance because the SRO was taking the medications as prescribed and had not made any operational errors during any emergency condition. The regulatory significance was important because your staff failed to notify the NRC of a permanent disability or illness of an SRO within 30 days. This was preliminarily determined to be an apparent violation of 10 CFR 50.74(c). The cause of the apparent violation is related to the cross-cutting element of human performance in the area of work practices. H.4(b)(Section 1R11 |
