Inaccurate medical information leads to NRC probe of FirstEnergy
Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp. is tightening its fitness-for-duty procedures in response to a year-long U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission investigation that showed a former licensed operator at the Davis-Besse nuclear plant lied about medications he was supposed to have been taking between February 2013 and July 2014.
The medications in question were for diabetes and blood pressure, and that the man’s failure to take them in no way affected the plant’s operation, according to FirstEngery.
