Content:
in Subpart I, Section 26.205 – 26.209 apply to the individuals identified in Section 26.4(a). A fatigue management policy should be incorporated into the written policy statement required in 10 CFR 26.27(b), and applicants should describe how they would develop, implement, and maintain procedures that are described in 10 CFR 26.203(b). 10. 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart N - Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements – Each applicant should describe how it would maintain records and submit certain reports to the NRC as required by this subpart. Records that are required by the regulations in this part must be retained for the period specified by the appropriate regulation. 13.7.1-8 Revision 0 – October 2016 Technical Rationale The following paragraphs contain the technical rationale for applying these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section: 1. 10 CFR Part 26 establishes the requirement that licensees and other applicable entities implement an FFD program to provide reasonable assurance that applicable personnel are fit for duty. This means that the subject personnel can safely and competently perform their duties because they are not under the influence of any substance, legal or illegal, or mentally or physically impaired from any cause, including fatigue. 2. Because most of the provisions of 10 CFR Part 26 are prescriptive, an applicant’s description of its FFD program should reflect, and may reference, these provisions. 3. The technical basis for 10 CFR Part 26 is summarized in “Fitness for Duty Programs; Final Rule,” pages 16970-17170 (73 FR 16966; March 31, 2008). This technical basis should assist and provide the technical rationale in the review of a licensee’s discussion of its FFD program. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The scope of the review of a COL application is dependent on whether the COL applicant references a DC, an ESP, an LWA, or other NRC approvals (e.g., manufacturing license).
