The inspectors identified a Green (
Severity Level IV) noncited violation of
10 CFR 50.74 for failure to report changes in medical conditions per Section 3.2.1 of Exelon administrative procedure
OP-AA-105-101, Administrative Process For NRC License And Medical Requirements, Rev. 8. As a result, potentially disqualifying medical conditions for three operators were not reported to the NRC within the required 30-day time frame. In addition, for one of the operators, the medical condition ultimately required a change on his license. The licensee promptly entered this issue into their corrective action program (issue reports 164042, 189592, and 195798). This violation is more than minor because it had the potential to impact the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function, and it was evaluated using the traditional enforcement process. This finding is of very low safety significance because at no time did the individual stand watch without the medical condition being satisfied. In addition, the facility licensee was timely in their reporting of the medical conditions to the NRC when they received the pertinent information. The cause of the finding is related to the cross-cutting area of corrective actions, because it occurred after completion of actions to address a previous
NCV for the failure to notify NRC of change in medical status of licensed operators. The cause of the finding is also related to the cross-cutting area of human performance, because multiple station operators did not comply with established procedures for reporting of potentially disqualifying medical conditions.
