May 27, 2005 Mr. David A. Christian, Sr. Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Dominion Resources 5000 Dominion Boulevard Glen Allen, VA 23060-6711
SUBJECT:
MILLSTONE POWER STATION, UNIT 3 LICENSED OPERATOR POSITIVE ALCOHOL TEST
Dear Mr. Christian:
Your facility reported on May 5, 2005, that an NRC-licensed operator tested positive for alcohol following a for-cause fitness-for-duty test taken on May 5, 2005. Although we have obtained preliminary information from Richard Sadler of your staff, this letter is a formal 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 this operator's fitness-for-duty which are relevant to this occurrence. We request that any personal, proprietary, or safeguards information in your response be contained in a separate enclosure and appropriately marked. The affidavit required by 10 CFR 23790(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 physician's conclusion that the operator meets the requirements of ANSI/ANS-3.4-1983 is available for review by the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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 operator's 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 to 10 CFR Part 50 or Part 55. The information supplied will be maintained in NRC Privacy Systems of Records-16 and will be subject to the Privacy Act.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Mr. Richard J. Conte, Chief, Operations Branch, (610) 337-5183. The requested information should be sent to Mr. Contes attention at the NRC Region I Office, 475 Allendale Road, King of Prussia, PA 19406-1415. Your cooperation is appreciated.
Mr. David A. Christian In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "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 NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

/RA/
