FITNESS FOR DUTY (FFD) PROGRAM PERFORMANCE DATA REPORT January 01 - June 30, 2002 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.
Twelve Contractors tested positive for Marijuana and Six Contractors tested positive for Cocaine following Pre-access tests for drugs and alcohol.
- 2.
One Contractor tested positive for Alcohol and one Contractor tested positive for Marijuana following Random tests for drugs and alcohol.
- 3.
Four Contractors tested positive for Alcohol and One Contractor tested positive for Cocaine following For Cause Tests for drugs and alcohol. One Contractor's unescorted access was revoked following a For Cause drug and alcohol test which resulted in a 5 hr. Rule Violation.
4 Two Contractors tested positive for Marijuana and One Contractor tested positive for Cocaine following a second sample requested due to the first sample being hydrated.

The following list describes the actions taken by management as a result of the above situations:

- 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)
There were no reportable events during this reporting period.
D.
APPEALS (PER 10CFR26.28)
During this reporting period, three of the contractors in Section II, Situation Descriptions, who tested positive for marijuana, alcohol and cocaine respectively, appealed their positive drug/alcohol tests. The Appeals Officer denied the appeals due to all procedures being followed correctly and there was no evidence to overrule the Medical Review Officer's decisions.
SECTION III.
FFD Program Modifications and Lessons Learned During this reporting period, NMPNS's FFD Department self-assessed their on site laboratory procedure, which resulted in a modification to eliminate procedural inefficiencies. Elimination of an unnecessary and redundant step of documentation allowed for quicker entry of results and more efficient processing of samples. Additional alternate collectors were trained to facilitate the collection of samples for our outage workforce.
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%. The rate for contractors was 1.90%. The combined positive test rate for contractors and NMPNS employees is approximately 1.34%
for this time period (0.71% since the inception of this program). This performance, combined with the FFD Personnel Reliability Program Performance Indicator, demonstrates that NMPNS's FFD Program is working as intended.
