U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B18961/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 DNC's 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.

• Reaulatory 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, versus "post accident" testing following an accident which may have been the result of failure in individual performance.

• Other This category is used to record "supplemental" and/or "witnessed" tests performed during the report period. Supplemental tests are re-collections of specimens that, 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.

• Percent Confirmed Positive Rates:

o Pre-access = 0.50 percent (80 percent of confirmed positives were in this category.)

o Random = 0.13 percent (20 percent of confirmed positives were in this category.)

o Overall = 0.63 percent There were five confirmed positive tests from five individuals. One specimen that tested positive for amphetamines also tested positive for cocaine.

Breakdown:

Proficiency Testing A total of 85 blind proficiency specimens were processed for this 6-month period.
