SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION NO. 50-244/94-28

Dear Dr. Mecredy:

This letter refers to the reactive,

November 21-22,

1994, fitness-for-duty

inspection at the

R.

E. Ginna Nuclear

Power Plant by Mr. E.

B. King of this

office.

The activities inspected

were those authorized

by

NRC License

No.

DPR-18.

A discussion of our preliminary findings was held by Mr. King with

you and other members of your staff at the end of the inspection.

The inspection

was conducted

because

of concerns

generated

by ou} in-office

review of your report of a positive drug test in the case of a security shift

supervisor.

Areas

examined in this inspection

are important to public health

and safety,

and are described

in the enclosed

NRC Region I Inspection Report.

The inspection consisted of interviews with personnel

and selective

examinations of procedures

and representative

records.

This inspection

found that, in general,

adequate

programs

were in place for

the detection of drugs

and alcohol in the workplace.

However, it appeared

that random testing for drugs

and alcohol

was not being conducted

in a

statistically random

and unpredictable

manner,

and that all persons

subject to

testing did not have

an equal probability of being tested.

This appears

to

have violated

NRC requirements

as set forth in 10 CFR 26 Section 26.24(a)(2).

An enforcement

conference to discuss this apparent violation is scheduled for

December

20,

1994, at 10:00 a.m.,

in the Region I office.

The decision to

hold

an enforcement

conference

does not mean that the

NRC has determined that

a violation has occurred or that enforcement

action will be taken.

The

purposes

of this conference

are to discuss

the apparent violation, its causes

and safety significance; to provide you the opportunity to point out any

errors in our understanding

of the apparent violation; and to provide

an

opportunity for you to present your proposed corrective actions.

In addition,

the enforcement

conference is an opportunity for you to provide any

information concerning your perspectives

on the severity of the apparent

violation, the application of the factors that the

NRC considers

when it

determines

the

amount of a civil penalty that

may be assessed

in accordance

with Section VI.B.2 of the Enforcement

Policy',

and

any other application of

by separate

correspondence

of the result of our deliberations

on this matter after the conference.

No

written response

regarding the apparent violation is required at this time.

Thank you for your cooperation

in this matter.
