Alert

Due to a lapse in appropriations, the NRC has ceased normal operations. However, excepted and exempted activities necessary to maintain critical health and safety functions—as well as essential progress on designated critical activities, including those specified in Executive Order 14300—will continue, consistent with the OMB-Approved NRC Lapse Plan.

Health Physics Questions and Answers - Question 399

Question 399: The NRC Form 5 (Item No. 8) provides for entry of multiple NRC license numbers. Some licensees may hold multiple licenses and provide common monitoring (e.g., a single set of dosimeters) for personnel working under any or all of the licenses. In such cases, it is proposed that only a single NRC Form 5 would be generated for each individual, listing all licenses under which they were monitored under 20.1502. Is this acceptable to satisfy regulatory requirements?

Answer: Yes, in general. For one nuclear power station, it is acceptable for the licensee to provide a single NRC Form 5 for an individual who works at one or more units at the station. However, a nuclear utility that has two or more power stations should not use a single NRC Form 5 for an individual who works at two or more different stations; a separate form should be used for each station at which the individual works.
