PERFORMANCE DATAFORM SEMI-ANNUALREPORT Six Months Ending December 31, 1994

SUMMARY

OF MANAGEMENTACTIONS DRUG TESTING As indicated on the Performance Data Form, a total of243 drug and alcohol tests were conducted during the reporting period.

Of this total, four (4), or approximately 1.6%, were confirmed positive tests.

The following is a breakdown of the random drug and alcohol tests and the positive test rate.

Number of Random

~DI h

I Number Positive Percent Positive Employees Contractors 110 71 1.6%

1.4%

Total 181 1.1%

Two (2) random tests were confirmed positive during the six month period; both were positive for cocaine.

RG&E reduced the random testing rate to 50%, effective March 1, 1994.

MANAGEMENTACTIONS In accordance with the RG&E Fitness For Duty (FFD) Program and Drug and Alcohol Abuse Policy, all employees are automatically referred to the Company's Employee Assistance Program (EAP) whenever there is a violation of the policy, except when an employee resigns or when employment is terminated.

During the reporting period, two (2) employees tested positive for cocaine; one under the random testing program and one for a remediation test following a reportable event, summarized later in the report. Two (2) long-term contractor employees tested positive; one for cocaine and one for marijuana.

One positive test was through the random testing process and one for a remediation test following a reportable event. The contractors were notified of an available Employee Assistance Program.

The employees have not been reinstated for unescorted site access and the contractor employees have been terminated from the Company's contractor employment.

During the reporting period, there was one reportable event under 10 CFR Part 26.73. Following is a summary of the event.

On Friday, November 11, 1994, a security shift supervisor received a confirmed positive test for cocaine.

Following our report to the NRC Operations

Center, a series of conference calls took place between the NRC and RGB.

A reactive inspection (50-244/94-28) was held on November 21-22, 1994.

The inspection found that random testing for drugs and alcohol was not being conducted in a statistically random and unpredictable manner on backshifts, weekends and holidays.

This violated NRC requirements set forth in 10 CFR 26 Section 26.24(1)(2).

Also, the Company identified a number of employees and contractors in the testing groups who never had a random drug and alcohol under the program.

Corrective actions were immediately initiated to improve the random testing process on the backshifts as required by the regulations.

To resolve the number of individuals who never had a random drug and alcohol test, the Company conducted remediation testing.

As indicated in the data report, one employee and one long-term contractor employee had a confirmed positive test for a drug substance.

To correct this situation the Company now tracks, through a computer program, all individuals selected for a random drug and alcohol test and ensures they are tested.

An enforcement conference was held on December 20, 1994 in the Region I office to discuss the apparent violation.

A Notice of Violation was received on January 13, 1995 as a result of the Inspection Report No. 50-244/94-28.

The violation was catagorized as a Severity Level IIIwithout a civil penalty.
