At approximately 1800 EST, a controlled substance and paraphernalia were discovered by a supplemental employee, who then reported the discovery to his supervision. Plant Security was contacted, who then notified Local Law Enforcement. All supplemental personnel who were in-processing in the area at the
time of discovery were interviewed and sent for
FFD testing. All immediate results were negative; lab results are still pending. A drug detection dog was brought in by the Local Law Enforcement Agency to clear the area where the substance was found and nothing additional was found. This notification is being made as a courtesy as a result of the potential newsworthiness of the event.
The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector.
