Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant and Southern Nuclear Operating Company Corporate Headquarters Fitness For Duty Program Summary
)
f The data' generated under the Fitness For Duty (FFD) program from July 1998 through December 1998 has been reviewed and analyzed. The data reflected in this report covers workers, including contract personnel, at the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant and at the Southem Nuclear Operating Company Corporate Headquarters in Birmingham, Alabama.
i The random pool contains not only those badged for unescorted access, but also those employees who may, in an emergency condition, be called upon to work at the site and
)
may require unescorted access. Contractors without approved programs are included in the testing pool while on site. Testing during this time period was performed on a 1
nominal weekly basis to include swing shifts, weekends, and holidays. During this 1
testing period, the rate of testing was equal to 50% yearly of the total population.
In summarizing management actions associated with the FFD program, it should be emphasized that the incidents of confirming positive tests were very low. Consequently, management actions relative to determination of FFD have been limited. Contractor employees screened as positive are denied access and no further action is taken. Five short-term contractors at Plant Farley tested positive and were denied access.
Management actions taken on licensee employees during this six-month period included one Corporate Headquarters employee who tested positive for alcohol on a random screen and is currently undergoing rehabilitation.
Weekly quality control checks of the Fitness for Duty random pool revealed an error that occurred in late October during a single weekly computer run for the random pool. The i
error resulted in 46 contractors not being in the pool that should have been included and 19 contractors being included in the pool that should not have been. Those individuals that were not in the pool during the single run of the random pool contin'ad to be subject to the Continual Behavioral Observation Program and were unaware that they were not subject to that week's random drug screens. The process was revised to prevent recurrence. Subsequent pool checks confirmed that the process was performing as expected and only minor errors were detected thereafter.
Since 1996, employees who report a substance abuse related arrest submit to for-cause fitner: for duty testing and are referred for Employee Assistance evaluation by a mental health professional to determine if there is a substance abuse or other problem. For this reporting period, three licensee employees at Plant Farley were referred for evaluation,
)
underwent appropriate rehabilitation and were entered into the follow up pool for monitoring purposes.
