Who Should Attend?

The main target of this training course is first time NMRP User Group meeting attendees or anyone who may work within the bounds of ANSI/ANS 3.4, "Medical Certification and Monitoring of Personnel Requiring Operator Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants," but is not as familiar with requirements of the standard as they would like to be.  

 

Course Abstract

This 6-hour course is designed to provide the site medical, licensing, or operator training organization the knowledge required to effectively implement ANSI/ANS 3.4.

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.
