Gentlemen;

Subject:

Inspection

No.I 50-244/91-04$

This letter refers to the initial inspection of the Fitness-For-Duty

(FFD) program

deyeloped for and being

implemented at the

R.

E. Ginna Nuclear

Power Plant.

The inspection

was conducted

on January

23-25,

1991,

by Mr. E. B. King of this

office.

Areas

examined during the inspection

are described

in the inspection report

which is enclosed with this letter.

Within these

areas,

the inspection consisted

of selective

examinations

of procedures

and representative

records,

interviews

with personnel,

and observations

by the inspector.

Based

on this inspection,

we determined that the development

and implementation

of your

FFD program are responsive

to both the spirit and intent of the

FFD

rule and that the program is aggressive

and comprehensive.

We also

found that

the professionalism

and technical

expertise

exhibited

by personnel

involved in

administering

the program are

commendable.

'owever,

within the

scope of this inspection, it appears

that two of your

activities were not conducted

in full compliance with the requirements

of 10 CFR Part 26 asset forth in the Notice of Violation enclosed

herewith

as

Appendix A.

One of the violations is not being cited because

the criteria

stated in Section

V.G. of the "General

Statement

of Policy and Procedure for

NRC Enforcement Actions,"

10 CFR Part 2, Appendix

C (Enforcement Policy), as

described

in the enclosed

inspection report,

was met.

The other violation has

been categorized

by the severity level indicated in the Enforcement Policy.

You are required to respond to this letter,

and in preparing your response,

you

should follow the instructions in Appendix A.

In addition,

one unresolved

item, concerning

the lack of a policy governing

FFD

testing for employees

who have infrequent site access,

was identified during

the inspection.

In your response

to this letter,

we would appreciate

receiving

a

summary of the current status of this item, which is described

in the enclosed

inspection report.
