Title: Fitness-for-Duty Programs | |
Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to ensure compatibility with the Department of Health and Human ServicesÂ’ guidelines, eliminate or modify unnecessary requirements in some areas, clarify the CommissionÂ’s original intent of the rule, and improve overall program effectiveness and efficiency and establish threshold for the control of working hours at nuclear power plants to ensure that working hours in excess of the thresholds are controlled through a risk-informed deviation process. Because of the issues raised in response to the earlier affirmed (Fitness-for-Duty) rule, a new proposed rule will be published, including provisions to provide significantly greater assurance that worker fatigue does not adversely affect the operational safety of nuclear power plants. This new proposed rule was provided to the Commission in SECY-05-0074, dated April 28, 2005. In a memorandum dated June 30, 2005, the Commission approved publication of the proposed rule for public comment. This proposed rule subsumes the proposed rule "Nuclear Power Plant Worker Fatigue" (RIN 3150-AG99). This rulemaking would address the petition for rulemaking submitted by the Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO) (PRM-26-1) and a petition for rulemaking submitted by Barry Quigley (PRM-26-2) related to worker fatigue. | |
