PY-CEI/NRR-2862L Page: 1 of 2 Management Actions Taken Drug and alcohol testing results for the reporting period are described in Attachment 1.
One (1) licensee employee holding unescorted access was randomly selected for testing, which resulted in a positive test for alcohol during this reporting period. This individual was denied unescorted access to the Protected Area. Pursuant to Nuclear Operating Procedure (NOP-LP-1002) "Fitness for Duty" requirements, this individual was informed of the right to appeal, and of the procedural requirements in order to re-establish unescorted access to the Protected Area.
The individual did pursue his right to appeal, which resulted in upholding the original denial determination. The individual was subsequently terminated from the company. Additionally, one (1) licensee employee, who was licensed under 10 CFR 55 and held unescorted access was subjected to for cause testing, which resulted in an alcohol level that was not positive, but the individual was deemed aiotfit fI &dutyd drin`§this reportinig period. This 'iidividu l was mandated to the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), access authorization suitability was re-established, the individual was placed in the follow-up program, and unescorted access was reinstated.
Two (2) contractor employees tested positive for illegal drugs and one (1) contractor employee tested positive for alcohol during preaccess testing for this reporting period. One (1) contractor employee, who did not hold unescorted access, was subjected to for cause testing, which resulted in a positive test for alcohol during this reporting period. All contractors were denied unescorted access to the Protected Area. Pursuant to Nuclear Operating Procedure (NOP-LP-1 002) "Fitness for Duty Program" requirements, the individuals were informed of their right to appeal, and of the procedural requirements in order to re-establish unescorted access to the Protected Area. To date, one (1) contractor employee, testing positive for alcohol did exercise their right to appeal; however, the additional blood draw re-confirmed the positive breath alcohol content. The other contractor employees did not exercise their right to appeal and have not initiated steps to restore unescorted access.
As a result of a Fitness for Duty Program concern, eleven (11) individuals were subject to unannounced follow-up testing during this reporting period. All follow-up test results were negative.
Initiatives Taken Focus during this reporting period was on revision of the Fitness for Duty Program to ensure compliance with NEI 03-01, Revision 1, Nuclear Power Plant Access Authorization Program requirements. These changes were completed and implemented on 10126/04. FENOC's Working Hour Guidelines is part of the Fitness for Duty Program. Efficiencies were made to the electronic database, which is utilized for initiating and approving working hour deviation requests.

The licensee employee was licensed under 10 CFR 55, which made this event a significant FFD event in accordance with 10 CFR 26 (a)(2)(iv) and the NRC notification and the ENF notification (#40949) was made on 8/13/04 at 1256 hrs.
