V.C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION FITNESS FOR DUTY
SUMMARY
10 CFR 26.71(d) REQUIREMENTS FOR JULY 01, 2002 - DECEMBER 31,2002 MANAGEMENT ACTIONS A. Positive Test Results:
There were two confirmed positive test results during this reporting period.
These results and subsequent management actions can be categorized as follows:
- 1. Pre-access Test:
There was one permanent employee that tested confirmed positive for alcohol. In this case, appropriate management personnel were notified that this individual would not be granted unescorted access authorization and would not be eligible for rehire.
- 2. Other Test:
There was one permanent employee that tested confirmed positive for drugs. This individual was denied unescorted access authorization and would not be eligible for retesting.
B. Split Samples:
No split samples were shipped to the back-up laboratory for testing during this reporting period.
C. For-Cause Test:
There were three For-Cause tests conducted during this reporting period.
One test resulted from a permanent employee showing reasonable suspicion.
This individual tested negative.
There were two long-term contractors tested For-Cause because of on-site vehicle accidents involving human performance failure. In both cases, each individual tested negative.
DATA ANALYSIS A. Random Testing:
There were 239 random tests conducted during this reporting period with no confirmed positive tests. This constitutes a positive random test rate of 0%. There were 483 random tests conducted in 2002 with an average population of 948, resulting in an annual random testing rate of 51%.
There were 40 random collections performed on back shift, weekends, and holidays during this reporting period.
B. Lower Cut-off Level:
The lower cut-off level for marijuana resulted in no confirmed positive tests.
C. Blind Performance Testing:
During the third quarter of 2002, there were 159 genuine specimens and 25 blind performance test specimens submitted to the primary testing laboratory, which constitutes a blind performance test rate of 15.72%. In the fourth quarter of 2002, there were 173 genuine specimens and 25 blind performance test specimens submitted to the primary testing laboratory, which constitutes a blind performance test rate of 14.45%.
During the third quarter of 2002, there were 0 genuine specimens and 0 blind performance test specimens submitted to the back-up laboratory.
During the fourth quarter of 2002, there were 0 genuine specimens and 0 blind performance specimens submitted to the back-up laboratory for testing.
In both quarters, the percentage of positive and negative blind performance specimens submitted was 20% and 80%, respectively. All drugs tested by our program were included in the positive specimens.
There were no discrepant test results.
D. Population Groups:
Two pre-access permanent employees were responsible for confirmed positive tests during this reporting period. Neither individual held unescorted access authorization at the time of testing.
REPORTABLE EVENTS There were no reportable events during this reporting period.
SUMMARY
The absence of any confirmed positive random tests during this reporting period is indicative of a low rate of substance abuse among personnel enrolled in the V. C. Summer Nuclear Station Fitness for Duty Program. Maintaining an effective Fitness for Duty Program in order to provide a work environment free from the effects of drugs and alcohol remains a high priority for SCE&G.
