June 3, 2004 Mr. Harold B. Ray, Executive Vice President San Onofre, Units 2 and 3 Southern California Edison Co.
P.O. Box 128, Mail Stop D-3-F San Clemente, CA 92674-0128
SUBJECT:
LICENSED OPERATOR POSITIVE FITNESS-FOR-DUTY TEST
Dear Mr. Ray,
On May 25, 2004, you reported in Event Report 40775, that one of your NRC-licensed senior reactor operators tested positive for an illegal substance on a fitness-for-duty test administered by your staff on May 13, 2004. In order to facilitate our review of this matter, we require information beyond what you have reported to date, which is relevant to this matter. Therefore, we request that you provide, within 30 days after the date of this letter, answers to the questions listed in the enclosure and any other records or information you may have on this operators fitness-for-duty. Any personal, proprietary, or safeguards information in your response should be contained in a separate attachment and appropriately marked. An affidavit required by 10 CFR 2.390(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-3.4-1983 is available for review by the 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 determine 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-3.4-1983.
The NRC will evaluate the information in your reply to this letter to determine if further action is warranted pursuant 10 CFR Parts 50 or 55. The information provided by you will be subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 and it will be maintained in the Privacy Act System of Records, NRC-16, Facility Operator Licensees Records Files.
Southern California Edison Co. If you have any questions, please contact Anthony T. Gody, Chief, Operations Branch at (817) 860-8159. Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,
/RA/
