Fitness-for-Duty Programs
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is making available draft wording of a possible amendment of its regulations. The proposal would amend Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 26, "Fitness-for-Duty Programs." The general objective of this program continues to be to provide reasonable assurance that nuclear power plant and nuclear fuel facility personnel are reliable, trustworthy, and not under the influence of any substance, legal or illegal, or mentally or physically impaired from any cause, that in any way may adversely affect their ability to safely and competently perform their duties. The changes should reduce the regulatory burden for licensees and improve the effectiveness of 10 CFR part 26. The availability of draft wording is intended to inform stakeholders of the current status of the NRC staff's rulemaking development activities and to provide stakeholders the opportunity to comment on the draft changes.
