Who Should Attend?

The main target of this training course is anyone who wants to familiarize themselves with the new ANSI/ANS 3.4-2013, "Medical Certification and Monitoring of Personnel Requiring Operator Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants."

 

Course Abstract

This 8-hour course is designed to provide the site medical, licensing, or operator training organizations with the knowledge required to effectively implement ANSI/ANS 3.4–2013.

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. ANSI/ANS 3.4 , "Medical Certification and Monitoring of Personnel Requiring Operator Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants," was revised in 2013 and the NRC is in the process of endorsing this revision. ANSI/ANS 3.4 prescribes requirements necessary to determine that the medical condition and general health of nuclear reactor operators will not cause operational errors. The criteria presented in this standard provide 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.
