FITNESS FOR DUTY (FFD) PROGRAM PERFORMANCE DATA REPORT July 1 - December 31, 2001 SECTION I.
Process Stage Data Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC (NMPNS) conducts on-site drug screening using a Syva ETS instrument. Procedures require that tests found to be "non-negative" shall be sent to a contracted Health and Human Services (HHS)-certified laboratory for both screening and confirmatory testing as applicable. To monitor our accuracy and increase the integrity of our laboratory, NMPNS participates in proficiency testing provided by the College of American Pathologists (CAP).
SECTION II.
Situation Descriptions, Management Actions, NRC Reportable Events, and Appeals A.
Situation Descriptions
- 1.
An Employee tested positive for Marijuana following a Follow up drug and alcohol test.
- 2.
An Employee tested positive for Alcohol following Random drug and alcohol tests.
- 3.
Two Contractors tested positive for Marijuana following a second sample requested due to the first being hydrated.
- 4.
A Contractor tested positive for Marijuana and a Contractor tested positive for Alcohol following a Pre-access test for drugs and alcohol.
B.
Management Actions (in Response to Situation Descriptions 1-4)
The following list describes the procedural actions required by management as a result of the above situations:
- 1.
Unescorted access was immediately denied or removed and the opportunity to appeal was explained to all individuals.
- 2.
The FFD Staff referred the NMPNS employees to the Employee Assistance Program and recommended the Contractors seek a 3
substance abuse evaluation to determine proper treatment and rehabilitation.
- 3.
Supervision implemented a review of safety-related work performed by the individuals (if unescorted access was granted prior to the violation). No remedial actions were required.
C.
NRC REPORTABLE EVENTS (PER 10CFR PART 26.73)
During this reporting period, the employee from Section HA, Situation Description 2, was fulfilling a supervisory position at the time of the alcohol violation. Therefore, the NRC was notified within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per 10CFR26.73.
D.
APPEALS (PER 10CFR26.28)
During this reporting period, one of the contractors, in Section HA, Situation Description 4, who tested positive for marijuana, appealed his positive drug test.
The Appeals Officer denied the appeal due to all procedures being followed correctly and there being no evidence to overrule the Medical Review Officer's decision.
SECTION III.
FFD Program Modifications and Lessons Learned During this reporting period, NMPNS's Fitness for Duty Staff conducted a Self Assessment to measure the general workforce population's understanding of the responsibilities associated with the Continuous Behavioral Observation Program (CBOP). The self-assessment consisted of benchmarking other nuclear power plants' General Employee Lesson Plans (which included the CBOP requirements) and performing face-to-face interviews with supervisory and non-supervisory personnel at NMPNS. Non-emergency Call-out / For Cause wallet cards were distributed as quick reference aides to supplement our procedures. The assessment concluded that the workforce has a fundamental understanding of their responsibilities associated with CBOP and revealed areas that could be enhanced. NMPNS's Corrective Action Program was used to document these enhancements and to develop plans to evaluate incorporating them into the General Employee Lesson Plan.
SECTION IV.
Data Assessment and Program Evaluation NMPNS's FFD/Personnel Reliability Program Performance Indicator for this reporting period indicated zero reportable failures. Additionally, the statistical data in this report shows that the NMPNS employee overall positive test rate for this reporting period was 0.49%. The rate for contractors was 1.07%. The combined positive test rate for 4
contractors and NMPNS employees is approximately 0.76% for this time period (0.68% since the inception of this program). This performance, combined with the FFD/Personnel Reliability Program Performance Indicator, is indicative that NMPNS's FFD Program is working as intended.
