NRC Form 396 is used to transmit information to the NRC regarding the medical condition of applicants for initial operator licenses or renewal of operator licenses and for the maintenance of medical records for all licensed operators. The information is used to determine whether the physical condition and general health of applicants for operator licensees is such that the applicant would not be expected to cause operational errors and endanger public health and safety.
The number of total responses has decreased from 2131 to 1882 due to operating reactor plants decommissioning. Once a plant has entered decommissioning, there are fewer applicants submitting NRC Form 396.
The overall annual industry costs decreased by $89,886 from $667,500 to $557,614 due to the expected decrease in application submissions.
