Furthermore, the NRC believes that there is sufficient evidence supporting the /
effectiveness of random testing on deterring and detecting substance abuse and' that a carefully designed chemical testing program covering persons authorized unescorted access to nuclear power facilities is warranted. The NRC is convincedthatrandomtestingisanessentialandeffectivecomponentof/I'he fitness for duty program. Although the NRC believes that behavioral /
observation and for-cause testing comprise important elements of a substance abusedeterrenceandpreventionprogram,and.hasincludedtheminjt'srule,.it does not believe that these elements alone are sufficient to provide the level of deterrence and detection necessary.
/
f The NRC requires all 10 CFR Part 50 licensees to comply withA0 CFR Part 26 requirements through license termination. Our review concluded that the existing Fitness for Duty Program at Rancho Seco is not comparable to the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR Part 26. Your request'for an exemption from 10 CFR Part 26, " Fitness for Duty Program," is, therefore, denied.
