)(i). Appendix B to this draft guide contains the Commission’s NRC Form 396, “Certification of Medical Examination by Facility Licensee.” Harmonization with International Standards The NRC staff reviewed guidance from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and found that this regulatory guide is consistent with the medical fitness for duty requirements identified in IAEA, NS-G-2.8, “Recruitment, Qualification and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants,” (Ref. 18). DG-1310, Page 6 Documents Discussed in Staff Regulatory Guidance This regulatory guide endorses the use of one or more codes or standards developed by external organizations, and other third party guidance documents. These codes, standards and third party guidance documents may contain references to other codes, standards or third party guidance documents (“secondary references”). If a secondary reference has itself been incorporated by reference into NRC regulations as a requirement, then licensees and applicants must comply with that standard as set forth in the regulation. If the secondary reference has been endorsed in a regulatory guide as an acceptable approach for meeting an NRC requirement, then the standard constitutes a method acceptable to the NRC staff for meeting that regulatory requirement as described in the specific regulatory guide. If the secondary reference has neither been incorporated by reference into NRC regulations nor endorsed in a regulatory guide, then the secondary reference is neither a legally-binding requirement nor a “generic” NRC approved acceptable approach for meeting an NRC requirement. However, licensees and applicants may consider and use the information in the secondary reference, if appropriately justified, consistent with current regulatory practice, and consistent with applicable NRC requirements.
