Commission within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
Contrary to the above, the inspector determined that the licensee was
notified of a positive drug test involving a contract supervisor on
December 7,1992, but did not notify NRC until December 31, 1992.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement III).
