U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B18728/Attachment 1/Page 1 Performance Data Form Explanation Summary of Performance Data/Management Actions Significant Fitness-for-Duty Events Performance Data Form Explanation

• Cutoffs Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. (DNC) cutoff levels differ from the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) standard cutoff levels in the marijuana category only. DNC uses a 50 ng/ml screening cutoff level which is more conservative than the regulatory standard.

• Substances DNCs testing program includes the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) 5 substances and all specimens are tested for Nitrites.

• Contractor Personnel DNC does not maintain records for separate categories of contractors.

Consequently, all contractor data is recorded under the short-term contractor personnel category.

• Confirmed Positive Tests for Specific Substances This section contains the number of confirmed positive tests, recorded by substance, during the reporting period. Please note that there may be no direct correlation between the sum of these numbers and the number of positives entered on the front of the form. Positive tests for multiple substances per individual are recorded as separate items in this table.

• Regulatory and DNC Cutoff Levels Since DNC uses a cutoff level for marijuana which is more conservative than the NRC, the positive column for that substance only is split; the left side indicates confirmed positives based on NRC cutoff levels and the right side indicates the confirmed positives based on DNCs more conservative cutoff level.

• For-Cause vs. Post Accident This category has been separated to recognize the difference in testing for-cause when observed unusual or aberrant behavior indicates possible substance abuse, odor of alcohol is detected or drugs or alcohol have been discovered on an individual, vs. post accident testing following an accident which may have been the result of failure in individual performance.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B18728/Attachment 1/Page 2

• Other This category is used to record supplemental and/or witnessed tests performed during the report period. Supplemental tests are re-collections of specimens which, for technical reasons, could not be processed by the NIDA laboratory. Examples of reasons for not processing include specimen leakage and insufficient specimen. Witnessed tests are re-collected under direct observation when the initial collection is reported as DILUTE and a requested Limits of Detection reports that an illegal substance is found in the urine.

Summary of Performance Data

• 1466 tests performed

• 571 tests were random Average population = 2028 Annual 50 percent minimum random testing rate achieved (571/2028 =

28.1 % X 2 (because this report is done semi-annually) = 56 %).

• Percent Confirmed Positive Rates:

Pre-access = 1.5 percent (70 percent of confirmed positives were in this category.)

Random = 0.5 percent Overall = 1.0 percent There were nineteen confirmed positive tests from seventeen individuals. Two individuals tested positive for two substances. One individual refused an opportunity to meet with the Medical Review Officer (MRO). This individual is included in the breakdown below under Administrative.
