Enclosure 2 PG&E Letter DCL-04-106 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS FOR REPORTING PERIOD JANUARY THROUGH JUNE 2004 Analysis of the data indicates that 25.5 percent of the average eligible population was randomly tested during the period January through June 2004 The overall positive test rate for this period was 1.14 percent. Pre-access tests for short-term contractor personnel accounted for 91 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 the 1R12 refueling outage.
PG&E submitted blind performance specimens in accordance with 10 CFR 26, Appendix A, Section 2.8 (e)(2), requirements. There were no reportable events.
Enclosure 3 PG&E Letter DCL-04-106 FITNESS FOR DUTY PROGRAM ACTIVITY REPORT Activity 1: Alcohol Discovered in the Plant Owner Controlled Area Beer was found in the plant owner controlled area, outside the protected area, during this reporting period. No individual was in the area at the time of discovery. The PG&E Corporate Security Investigator followed up on the matter by interviewing personnel who may have been in the area where the beer was found. Five days after the beer had been discovered, a contract worker admitted to his supervisor that the beer discovered in the owner controlled area was his. The contract worker's unescorted access was suspended pending further review.
The contract worker admitted to bringing the beer onto the site and to drinking 2 cans of beer by himself. Given that the individual had violated site policies regarding bringing alcohol on site and drinking the beer on site, his unescorted access was revoked. A work review was conducted for the individual. It was determined that the individual was not responsible for any work that could have adversely affected plant operations.
Activity 2: Correction to the Diablo Canyon Power Plant Semi-Annual Fitness For Duty Program report for the period of July through December 2003 A correction to the Diablo Canyon Power Plant Semi-Annual Fitness For Duty Program report for the period of July through December 2003 was recently noted. On the.
performance data sheet in the Testing Results category of 'For-Cause," all the for-cause tests administered were listed under the sub-category of "observed behavior' and the for-cause test for a licensee employee should have been listed under the sub-category to indicate it was a "post-accident" for-cause test.
Activity 3: Supervisor Failed to Implement the Fitness For Duty Program For-Cause Testing Procedure During this reporting period, it was noted that a supervisor did not effectively implement the Fitness For Duty Program For-Cause Testing Procedure for an employee who displayed problem behavior. This issue was entered into the plant corrective action program.
Security personnel had noted that an employee, while entering the site to begin work, was upset and somewhat uncooperative while going through site security checkpoints.
The security supervisor on duty placed the employee's unescorted access on temporary hold until the employee's supervisor could review the matter. The supervisor met with the employee and decided to send the employee home for the day. Later, the supervisor reported that the employee had smelled of alcohol, but that the supervisor did not feel the employee was impaired.
Enclosure 3 PG&E Letter DCL-04-106 Security personnel kept the employee's unescorted access on hold. Upon learning of the incident the following day, the Fitness For Duty Supervisor, referred the employee to the Medical Review Officer for evaluation prior to restoring the individual's unescorted access. The medical evaluation showed that the employee had diabetes and this condition may have contributed to the alcohol odor the supervisor noted. The MRO ordered a for- cause test for the individual that showed negative results. The employee subsequently returned to duty and is participating in the Fitness For Duty Follow Up Testing and Monitoring Program.
The supervisor was required to review the Fitness For Duty Program For-Cause Testing Procedure with his manager and received counseling on management expectations for use of the procedure. In addition, the supervisor was required to attend and complete the initial Fitness For Duty Training class.
Information about this event was distributed via e-mail to all supervisors and managers.
In addition, the supervisors and managers who received the e-mail were required to review the Fitness For Duty Program For-Cause Testing Procedure and confirm by return e-mail that they had read and understood the testing requirements.
