NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued a revision to a guide in its Regulatory Guide Series. This series has been developed to describe and make available to the public such information as methods acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the Commission's regulations, techniques used by the staff in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data needed by the staff in its review of applications for permits and licenses.
Revision 3 of Regulatory Guide 1.134, ``Medical Evaluation of Licensed Personnel at Nuclear Power Plants,'' has been developed to provide guidance acceptable to the NRC staff on evaluating the medical qualifications of applicants for initial or renewal operator or senior operator licenses for nuclear power plants. Regulatory Guide 1.134 also provides for notification to the NRC of an operator's incapacitating disability or illness. This guide endorses the American National Standards Institute standard, ANSI/ANS-3.4-1996, ``Medical Certification and Monitoring of Personnel Requiring Operator Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants.''
The NRC has verified with the Office of Management and Budget the determination that this regulatory guide is not a major rule.
