Enclosure 2 PG&E Letter DCL-09-008 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS FOR REPORTING PERIOD JANUARY THROUGH DECEMBER 2008 Analysis of the data indicates that 52.9 percent of the average eligible population was randomly tested during the period January 1, 2008, through December 31, 2008.

The overall positive test rate for this period was 0.59 percent. Pre-access tests for short-term contractor personnel accounted for 45.5 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 1R1 5 Refueling Outage.

There were no random positive test results during this reporting period. The random positive rate for 2008 is 0.07 percent.

Pacific Gas and Electric Company submitted blind performance specimens in accordance with 10 CFR 26.168 requirements. There was one reportable event, see for additional information.

Enclosure 3 PG&E Letter DCL-09-008 FITNESS FOR DUTY PROGRAM ACTIVITY REPORT Activity 1: Unsatisfactory performance test result On August 11, 2008, a blind performance specimen processed at a drug testing laboratory was reported with a negative result. The performance specimen had been spiked with phencyclidine (PCP), and a positive result should have been reported. The laboratory review found-that a posting error to the laboratory computer system caused the incorrect report. The laboratory reported that, "this issue has been reviewed with the certifying scientist involved and training will be conducted with all certifying scientists regarding accurate entry of GC/MS results." A separate report about this was submitted to the NRC on September 19, 2008, (reference PG&E Letter DCL-08-083).
