Enclosure 2 PG&E Letter DCL-02-021 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS FOR REPORTING PERIOD JULY THROUGH DECEMBER 2001 Analysis of the data indicates that 53.7 percent of the average eligible population was randomly tested during 2001.
The random positive rate for all workers at DCPP for the year was 0.34 percent. There were no random positive tests recorded during the second half of 2001. During the first six months of 2001, PG&E noted that there was an upward short term trend in the random positive rate at DCPP. The random positive rate for all workers at DCPP during the first six months of 2001 was 0.62 percent. Based on the fact that there were no random positive tests during the second half of 2001 and that the random positive rate for all of 2001 is 0.34 percent, PG&E has concluded that there is not an upward trend in the random positive test rate.
The overall positive test rate for the year was 1.18 percent. Pre-access tests for short term contractor personnel accounted for 67.9 percent of all positive tests. The large number of positive tests recorded for short-term contractor personnel in the pre-access testing category is attributable to 2R1 0 refueling outage in the first half of the year.
PG&E submitted blind performance specimens in accordance with 10CFR26, Appendix A, Section 2.8 (e)(2), requirements. There were no reportable events.
Enclosure 3 PG&E Letter DCL-02-021 FITNESS FOR DUTY PROGRAM ACTIVITY REPORT In October 2001, PG&E identified that during a three-week period, up to 17 individuals that held unescorted access to the plant protected area were not included in the random test pool. These individuals had just been granted unescorted access and therefore had recently completed pre-access FFD testing. This situation was entered into the plant corrective action program.
The incomplete random pool was caused by an upgrade that was made to the COBOL software program that is used to extract the names of unescorted access holder from the Plant Information Management System (PIMS). Computer routines were upgraded to a newer version of COBOL, except for the random pool routine. The older version of the COBOL random routine did not add newly granted unescorted access holders to the random data file during a three-week period in October 2001. An FFD technician who received an error message while extracting the random list from PIMS identified the problem. The problem was promptly reported to computer services personnel.
Computer services personnel upgraded the COBOL program used to extract the random list to the newer version and all personnel that should be subjected to random testing were verified to be on the random test list.
Furthermore, this condition was entered into the plant's corrective action program, and actions were taken to prevent recurrence.
