Content:
cribes methods acceptable to the staff of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for complying with those portions of the Commission’s regulations associated with approval or acceptance of the medical assessment of an applicant or licensee for an operator or senior operator license at nuclear power plants. Holders of licenses for nuclear power plants issued under Part 50, “Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,” (Ref. 1) or Part 52, “Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants,” (Ref. 2) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), are required under 10 CFR 50.54, “Conditions of Licensees,” to use qualified licensed operators as described in 10 CFR Part 55, “Operators’ Licenses” (Ref. 3). Applicable Rules and Regulations • 10 CFR Part 55, Operators’ Licenses Purpose of Regulatory Guides The NRC issues regulatory guides to describe to the public methods that the staff considers acceptable for use in implementing specific parts of the agency’s regulations, to explain techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and to provide guidance to applicants. Regulatory guides are not substitutes for regulations and compliance with them is not required. Methods and solutions that differ from those set forth in regulatory guides will be deemed DG-1310, Page 2 acceptable if they provide a basis for the findings required for the issuance or continuance of a permit or license by the Commission. Paperwork Reduction Act This regulatory guide contains information collection requirements covered by 10 CFR Part 55 that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved under OMB control number 3150-0018. The NRC may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an information collection request or requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently valid OMB control number.
