SUBJECT:

Inspection Report No. 50-255/87-21

This letter forwards the report of an inspection conducted by an NRC team

on August 24-28, 1987 to review the Consumers Power Company's fitness for duty

program.

This inspection was conducted jointly by members of NRC's Region III

Office and the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

At the conclusion of the

inspection, the observations were discussed at an exit meeting with your staff

members identified in the enclosed inspection report.

The NRC's Policy Statement on Fitness for Duty of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel

(51 FR 27921) and the EEI Guide to Effective Drug and Alcohol/Fitness for

Duty Policy Development describe a general approach to designing a fit~ess

for duty program.

The inspection report describes areas where your fitness

for duty program does not appear to meet certain standards adopted by the

nuclear power industry in these documents.

In order to evaluate the overall

effectiveness of your program and to collect information to assist the Commission

in deciding future actions with respect to fitness for duty, the inspectors

reviewed certain supplemental elements of the program not described in the

EEI Guide, such as topics for written.procedures, cutoff limits for chemical

testing, and program performance data.

Our review of these supplem~ntal

elements is not intended to imply that they are or may become requirements.

Within 60 days of receipt of this letter, it is requested that you provide

this office with any comments concerning the results of our review, including

a description of your planned actions to further incorporate appropriate

provisions of the EEI Guide on fitness for duty.

Your special attention

is directed to the first four observations addressed in the Inspection

Summary.

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection report,

please contact me or Loren Bush at (301) 492-8080.
