| Title | Incomplete Licensed Operator Medical Examinations |
| Description | An NRC-identified SL IV Violation of 10 CFR 50.9, Completeness and accuracy of information was identified because Entergy submitted inaccurate medical information for licensed operators. The inspectors identified Entergy submittals to the NRC were inaccurate due to the omission of a tactile test (test performed to ensure that operators can distinguish among various shapes of control knobs and handles by touch) from the required licensed operator medical examinations. The inspectors determined that Entergy\\\'s medical physician did not adequately test all licensed operators (both initial and renewal licensees) in accordance with 10 CFR 55.21 and 10 CFR 55.33 with respect to ANSI/ANS-3.41983. However, Entergy had submitted medical information, as required by 10 CFR 55 for licensed operators and applicants that stated the testing had been performed satisfactorily. Following identification of the issue, Entergy personnel entered the issue into the corrective action program (CR-IP3-2009-04487) and completed corrective actions to develop and administer an appropriate test. The inspectors noted that all licensed operators passed this new test and no new license conditions were required. Entergy\\\'s failure to provide complete and accurate information to the NRC could have resulted in an incorrect licensing action and is a performance deficiency because the licensee is required to comply with 10 CFR 50.9. Because this violation of 10 CFR 50.9is considered to be a violation that potentially impedes or impacts the regulatory process, it is dispositioned using the traditional enforcement process. The finding was more than minor because documents which provided the information to the NRC were signed under oath by the company medical physician and the Site Vice President. Because there was no evidence that operators mis-operated equipment due to omitted tactile tests, the finding was determined to be of very low safety significance (SL IV).The applicability of cross-cutting aspects related to the performance deficiency of this finding will be determined after NRC review of Entergy\\\'s response to the Notice of Violation |
