June 6, 2003 Mr. John L. Skolds President and CNO Exelon Nuclear Exelon Generation Company, LLC 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PEACH BOTTOM AND LIMERICK FITNESS FOR DUTY REPORTS (ENS 39847 & 39848)
Dear Mr. Skolds:
On May 14, 2003, your Limerick and Peach Bottom facilities reported to the NRCs Headquarters Operations Center (ENS 39847, 39848), that an NRC licensed operator, who was not performing licensed duties, was determined to be under the influence of alcohol following a random fitness-for-duty test several hours after reporting to work. This letter is a request for information pertaining to this occurrence. Please provide within 30 days after the date of this letter, answers to the questions listed in the enclosure and other records and information on the operators past fitness-for-duty, which are relevant to this occurrence. We request that any personal, propriety, safeguards information in your response be contained in a separate attachment and appropriately marked. The affidavit required by 10 CFR 2.790(b) must accompany your response, where applicable.
You should determine whether the operator meets the requirements of 10 CFR 55.33(a)(1).
You should ensure that: (1) the operator meets the general health requirements of ANSI/ANS-3.4.-1983; (2) the operator does not have a disqualifying condition under Section 5.3 of that standard; and (3) that documentation describing the designated physicians conclusion that the operator meets the requirements of ANSI/ANS-3.4 is available for review by NRC. If a conditional license is requested per 10 CFR 55.25, that condition should be documented on NRC Form 396 and transmitted to the NRC.
If you determined that the operator no longer meets the medical qualifications described in 10 CFR 55.33(a)(1), then, in accordance with 10 CFR 55.25, you must notify the NRC, via letter, of the operators permanent incapacitation. For example, you must notify the NRC, if you determine, based on your employee assistance program in consultation with your designated physician, that the operator can no longer meet the medical criteria of ANSI/ANS-3.4.
The NRC will evaluate the information in your reply to this letter to determine if further action is warranted, pursuant to 10 CFR Parts 50 or 55. The information supplied will be maintained in NRC Privacy Systems of Records-16 and will be subject to the Privacy Act.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system
