[
PY-CEI/NRR-3049L Page 1 of 1 Management Actions Taken Drug and alcohol testing results for the reporting period are described in Attachment 1.
One (1) licensee employee was subjected to for cause testing, which resulted in an alcohol result below the Nuclear Operating Procedure (NOP-LP-1002) "Fitness for Duty Program" requirements. As a result, the licensee employee's unescorted access was placed on administrative hold. A Medical Review Officer (MRO) evaluation was completed and the MRO recommended completion of a drug and alcohol assessment. The licensee employee's suitability has been re-established and unescorted access has been reinstated.
Two (2) licensee security officer candidates (potential new hires), who did not hold unescorted access, were subjected to preaccess testing, which resulted in an alcohol result below the Nuclear Operating Procedure (NOP-LP-1002) "Fitness for Duty Program" requirements. As a result, their in-processing was suspended. To date, the two candidates remain flagged in both site and industry systems to address this alcohol result should they return.
Six (6) contractor employees, who did not hold unescorted access, were subjected to preaccess testing, which resulted in a confirmed positive test for illegal drugs during this reporting period. Three (3) contractor employees, of which two (2) did not hold unescorted access and one (1) did hold unescorted access, were subjected to for cause testing, which resulted in a confirmed positive test for illegal drugs during this reporting period. One (1) contractor employee, who did hold unescorted access, was subjected to follow-up testing, which resulted in a confirmed positive test for illegal drugs during this reporting period. Nine (9) contractor employees tested positive for a single illegal substance and one (1) contractor tested positive for two illegal substances. The ten (10) contractor employees were denied unescorted access to the Protected Area.
Pursuant to Nuclear Operating Procedure (NOP-LP-1002) "Fitness for Duty Program" requirements, all individuals were informed of his/her 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 has exercised his/her right to appeal and the individual remains denied.
Two (2) contractor employees were determined to have attempted to subvert the drug testing process through adulteration. One (1) individual submitted to another urine specimen under direct observation and one (1) individual did not. Both individuals were considered a "refusal to test" due to their attempt at subversion. The individual that did provide under direct observation was confirmed positive for illegal drugs and is discussed in the previous paragraph. These contractor employees were denied unescorted access to the Protected Area due to their attempt of subversion for a minimum period of three (3) years and for falsification of their Chain-of-Custody Form. Pursuant to Nuclear Operating Procedure (NOP-LP-1002) "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, no contractor employees have exercised their right to appeal.
As a result of a Fitness for Duty Program concern, fifty-one (51) individuals were subject to unannounced follow-up testing (a total of 86 tests completed) during this reporting period. All testing results were negative with the exception of the positive result reported in a previous paragraph.
Initiatives Taken Focus during this reporting period was on in-processing of contractor personnel in support of the 11th refueling outage at Perry. Working Hour Guidelines Program is part of the FENOC Fitness for Duty Program. We continue to improve the electronic database for efficiency in initiating and approving working hour deviations.
FENOC's Fitness for Duty Program procedure was revised to provide additional guidance and clarification as necessary to ensure the program requirements are clear and understandable for the end user, our employees.
