Course Abstract
This 4-hour course is designed to provide the site medical, licensing, or operator training organization the knowledge required to effectively implement ANSI/ANS 3.4-1983.
10 CFR Part 55, requires certification that a physician has examined licensed reactor operators and senior operators in accordance with NRC's regulatory guidance. The physician should determine that the examinee's medical condition and general health will not adversely affect the performance of assigned operator job duties or cause operational errors endangering public health and safety.
The intent of these requirements is to have the facility licensee certify the health of its operators. The NRC has endorsed American Nuclear Society, ANSI/ANS-3.4, "Medical Certification and Monitoring of Personnel Requiring Operator Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants," which prescribes minimum requirements necessary to determine that the medical condition and general health of nuclear reactor operators will not cause operational errors.
Currently, 94 of the 104 of the operating units continue to use the 1983 version of this standard. The criteria presented in this standard provides an examining physician a basis for determining whether a potentially disqualifying abnormal health condition exists. Although it is the physician's responsibility to identify and evaluate any potentially disqualifying medical conditions, the site medical staff provides valuable support to the examining physician.
