SUBJECT:
CHANGE TO FITNESS FOR DUTY PROGRAM FOR TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4 AND ST.
LUCIE UNITS 1
AND 2 (TAC NOS. H99031/H99032/H99029/H99030)
Dear Hr. Plunkett:
By letter dated June 3, 1997, Florida Power 8 Light Company (FPL) requested U.S,. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) review and concurrence with a proposed modification in the FPL Fitness for Duty (FFD) program.
In response to NRC comments, FPL revised and resubmitted the request by letter dated July 1, 1997.
FPL proposed to eliminate the mandatory 15-minute observation period for the breath alcohol concentration (BAC) test for all donors.
10 CFR Part 26, Appendix A, Section 2.4(g)(18) requires that "Alcohol breath tests shall be delayed at least 15 minutes if any source of mouth alcohol (e.g.,
breath fresheners) or any other substances are ingested (e.g., eating, smoking, regurgitation of stomach contents from vomiting or burping)."
FPL currently implements this requirement by requiring a 15-minute observation period for all personnel before administering a
BAC test.
Based on technical expertise from the manufacturer of the BAC testing device, FPL concluded that the 15-minute waiting period assures that residual alcohol from products such as breath mints, breath freshene} s, and mentholated cigarettes has dissipated below detectable levels and that the 15-minute observation period is relevant only for positive alcohol tests.
Based on this conclusion, FPL proposed to modify the BAC testing aspect of the FFD program as described in the July 1, 1997, submittal.
Based on the description of the program modification in the July 1,
- 1997, submittal, the NRC staff concurs that this modification to the FFD program does not constitute a deviation from the requirements of 10 CFR Part 26, Appendix A, in that it only changes FPL's method for meeting one of the

Mr. T. Plunkett requirements.
Therefore, the FPL program is acceptable in that it will continue to comply with 10 CFR Part 26, Appendix A, Section 2.4(g)(18) and require a 15-minute waiting period where there is a potential source of mouth alcohol.
Sincerely, Original signed by Docket No. 50-250, 50-251, 50-335 and 50-389 Frederick J.
