PROPOSED POLICY STATEMENT ON FITNESS FOR DUTY AT NRC-LICENSED FACILITIES OTHER THAN NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

Purpose:

To obtain Commission approval of a proposed Policy Statemtut and a decision.on the need for rulemaking for Category I facilities end shipments.

Background:

InSECY-87-12(June 14,1987), Fitnsss for Duty at NRC-Licensed Facilities Other Than Nuclear Power Plants, the-staff discussed the possibility that public and employee health und safety could be adversely. affected by personnel who idight perform activities at such facilities while chemically (drug) impaired. The staff stated its belief that the Commission should formally establish its position on the need for a fitness-for-duty program for key personnel involved in licensed activities other than power reactors. Such a-position would complement the Connission's Policy Statement on Fitness for Duty of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel (51 FR 27921) and the final Fitness-for-Duty Rule that was published in June 1989(54FR24468). When the Fitness-for-Duty Rule for Nuclear Power Reactor Personnel was published as a proposed rule, the Commission specifically invited public consnents on the extent to which NRC regulations on fitness for duty s.hould address other regulated activities not currently within the scope of this proposed rule. Regulated activities considered for rulemaking or a policy sutement included: Construction and preoperaticnal testing of nuclear power plants.

Utilization of nuclear materials by other material licensees, ,j Several comments were received from universities and others involved with research reactors or other nonpower reactors. The commenters statea that there is no need to extend coverage cf the rule to these facilities'because no drug-related problem has been demonstrated to exist and that.a relatively minor threat is pesed by these facilities to the public health ano saftty. Unbr, arable-costs und ir. practicality were slau cited as argumenu against inclusion ci these hcensees in the rule. A few comments received from individuals involved with handling special nuclear material made the same general points. There were no coments supportive of expanding coveruge of the rule to facilities other tharrnuclear power recctors. In SECY-89-030 (January 31,1989), the staff concluded that. 4 there was no reason at that time to extend coverage of the rule to other facilities but that extending the coverage of the rule could'be considered at a future time. The Commission reopened the issue and directed the staff, through the SRti.of February 16, 1989, to advise the Commission on the need to expand the Fitness-for-Duty Rule to cover fuel facilities and-other material licensees. The Commission also directed the staff (memo.fromChilktoStello, March 22',1989) to study.the need to amend Part 26 to include: material licensees and fuel. cycle facilities and how drugs and alcohol abuse affect their safety, especially the security of Category I facilities. 1 JDiscussion: Under f!RC or Agreetatet Stt te licenses, nuclear rcateritis are used in a wide variety of comercicl, academic, and medical applications. The licensees that could be affected by expanding the coverage of the Fitness-for-Duty Rule include licensees of l nonpower reactors, those that handle racioactive sources, anc those involved in fuel cycle, transportation, und waste. 4 ruanagement activities. About.8,600 licensees under flRC authority would be affected. Currently, the staff,is developing for review by the Cormission, a propostd ainendment to 10 CFR Part 55, Operators' Licenses, to incluce " Fitness-for-Duty" penalties for operators of nonpower reactors; therefore, this categcry, and those nuclear power plant persons covered by Part 26 are not included in this policy statement.

n 1 c 4 The Comissioners-3 l I - The diversity of the licensees is shown by the following list, i of, equipment or activities: Nuclear Material Licensees 1 Radiosctive Sources i I Nuclear medicine diagnosis and therapy, manufacturing and distribution, research and development, instrument calibration, incustrial radiography, gauging devices and gas chromatography, pool and dry irradiators, and well-logging. q Fuel Cycle, Transportation, Waste Storage and Disposal Comercialelow-level waste disposal, spent fuel storage, fuel fabrication, tronsportation, and disposing of or-storing their own radioactive wastes. ] Congress, as part of Public Law 100-690, Nov.18,1988, enacted the Drug-Free llorkplace Act of 1988, which requires that Federal contractors and grantees receiving $25,000 in grants.or t contracts provide a drug-free workplace..

L sure way of knowing how many are subject to the act. Any direct effort to obtain this information by a poll of licensees would require OH8 clearance under the Paperwork Reduct ton Act. The staff estimates, however, that an overwhelmingLmajority (upto95%)ofthelicenseesarenot'coveredby:theAct. It would be possible, iflthe Commission 50 requests,.to' pose'a L question for public coment via this Federal Register notice l-(Enclosure 1)toascertainwhetherornotthe.Actaffects them.

By its policy statement and the final rule creating 10 CfD Part 26, " Fitness-for-Duty Program," the Comission has made L a strong statement about the use of drugs and alcohol by personnel workin~g in nuclear power plants. The staff is ,j convinced that there is' a need to explicitly convey. a Commission position on drugs to the approximately 8,600 other p E licensees. However, after a careful review of the pros and and fuel cycle licensees (Enclosure 2)y Rule to covtr materful cons for extending the Fitness-for-Dut , the st6ff recomends that rulemaking be initiated only for NRC-regulated Category I fuel facilities and Category I shipments. The other material licensees should te covered by a policy staternent. L l w r a u-

.c t, a ,7 s re The Commissioners 4 f _p The recommended rulemaking for Category I facilities and I shipments would be desigreed to ensure fitness for duty of employees (1) who have direct access to large quantities of .t special nuclear n.6terial; (2) who are directly responsible -for protection of the material; and (3) who transport the material. Another reason for the rule is to maintain-comparability with the Department of Energy, which is j

  • Q developing similar requirements for its Category I facilities.

e Further discussion of the inclusion or' exclusion rationale in this rulemaking (e.g., shipments of spent fuel, Cetetory.II-e and III facilities and shipments, and protection of workers from consequences of molevolent acts) is provided in. The staff is proposing a policy statement on fitness for duty that would apply to all licensees not involved with nuclear power plants. This is based on the qualitative judgment of the amount and strategic value of the material possessed by each licensee and the atcendant overall risk to the public, i Although there are a great number of these licensees, many pose a low risk because they are solitary owner / employees whose keen. interest in the continuation of their businesses serves as a deterrent to involvement with drugs. The enclosed Federal Register notice (Enclosure 1) contains a proposed-policy statement on fitness for duty at material q licensees and nonpower reactor facilities that is generally ~ censistent with the previously published Comission policy statement.on fitness for duty for nuclear power reactor personnul. l 1 A 75-day comment period for response to the proposed policy l statement is recomended.

SUMMARY

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is publishing a proposed policy statement with respect to fitness for duty of NRC licensee personnel (other than individuals licensed under 10 CFR Part 55 and nuclear power plant personnel who are subject to the fitness-for-duty program established pursuant to10CFRPart26). The proposed ' policy statement describes the measures that the NRC will use to execute its responsibilities to ensure the health and safety of the public. The proposed policy statement does not limit NRC authority and responsibility to follow up on operational events, material or equipment misuse, or niaterial handling events or NRC's enforcement authority when regulatcry 4

requirements tre not met. The Commission invites interested members of the public to provide consents on the proposed policy statement. t Ear.le w e I

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: i Introduction L The Nuclear Regulatory Conr.ission (NRC) recognizes drug and alcohol. abuse to be a social, medical, and safety problem affecting every segment of our society. Given the pervasiveness of the problem, it must be recognized to t exist to some extent in the nuclear industry. Therefore, the Connission believes it prudent to consider me.asures to provide reasonable assurance that a person who is under the influence of alcohol or any other substance, legal or illegal, that affects that person's ability to edequately perform duties 2 Enclosure

associated with the safe use of nuclear materials will not be allowed access to (1) hazardous a.aterial. (2) safety or safeguards systems at a nuclear fuel facility, or (3) equiprent that contains radioactive material of a nature, that, if misused, might be harmful to that person, the cc-workers, or the public health and safety.

Background

The issue of drug and alcohol abuse has been examined extonsively in the 1 context of fitness for duty in the nuclear utility industry. For example, a Task Force on Drug Abuse Problems, Policies, and Programs, established in 1982 - by the Edison Electric Institute's (EEI) Industrial Relations Division, Executive Advisory Committee, published guidelines in 1983 to help the nuclear utility industry establish comprehensive fitness-for-duty programs. The guidelines were revised in 1985 as the "EE! Guide to Effective Drug and Alcohol / Fitness for Duty Policy Development" and were provided to all nuclear power pl6nts. These programs include the training of managers, supervisors, and others in authods for icantifying and dealing with personnel potentially unfit for duty. The EEI guidelines include: 1. Issuance of a written policy to include formation of a substance abuse consnittee, a system of records and analyses, and periodic audits of the J program. 2. Involvement of top management in the progrum. 3. Consnunication of the policy to all levels of participants. 3 Enclosure

Congress, as part of Public Law 100-690, flov. 18, 1988, enacted Subtitle D - Drug-Free licrkplace Act of 1988, which requires that persons other than individuals who have been uwardeo a contract for procurenent of $05,000 or more provide a drug-free workplace. Specifically, the Act states in part' "SEC. 5152 DRUG-FREE Il0RKPLACE REQUIREfiEllTS FOR FEDERAL C0llTRACTORS (a) Drug-Free llorkplace Requirement. (1) Requirements for persons other then individuals. No person, other than an individual, shull be considered a respchsible scurce, choer the neaking of such term as defined in section 4(8) of the Office of Ftderal Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 403(8)), for the purposes of being awarded a contract for the procureuent of any 4 Enclosure

Identical provisions applicable to Federal Grant recipients are contained in Section 5153 of that Act. All NRC licensees that fall within the scope of that Act must, as a minimum, corrply with the drug-f ree workplace requirements for federal contractors and grant recipients. The NRC has published a final rulefornuclearpowerplantlicensees(10CFRParts2and26) entitled " Fitness-for-Duty Programs" on Jur.e 7, 1980 (54 FR 24468). This rule extends the scope of the Act to include Nuclear. Power Plant personnel regardless of whether or not there is a Federal contract for procurement of $E5,000 or roore. Discussion l The Commission has concluded that, although the EE! guidelines utilized in l l the power reactor industry are not appropriate for all categories of HRC licensees, they provide t reasonable f ramework for the development of fitness-f or-duty progrems for some NRC licensees. 6 Enclosure

Licensees affected by this proposed policy statement include licens6es that handle se61ed and unsealed sources and licensees involved in fuel cycle, transportation, and waste management activities. These licensees are subject to one or more of the NRC regulations in 10 CFR Parts 30 through 35, 39, 40, l 50, 60, 61, 70, 71, and 72 or to any equivalent regulctions in Agreement States. The policy statement affects about 8,600 material licensees under NRC 1 authority. The licensees are characterized by the following equipn.ent or activities: i Radioactive Sources: Nuclear medicine diagnosis and therapy. Manufacturing and distribution. Research and development. Instrunent calibration. Industrial radiography. Gauging devices and gas chrom 6tography. Pool and dry irradiators. Well-logging, i Fuel Cycle, Transportation, Waste Storage, and Disposal: Commercial low-level waste disposal. Spent fuel storage. Fuel fabrication. L Transportation. Disposing of or storing their own radioactive we.stes. 7 Enclosure 1

A The Consission believes tht.t personnel directly involved in the above i activities who, by virtue of chemical impairment, are not fit to properly carry out their assigned duties could adversely affect public and employee health and safety. Staff analysis of emergency preparedness requirements for fuel cycle and nutarials licensees (for example, NUREG-1140, "A Regulatory Analysis of Energency Prtperedress for fuel Cycle and Other Radioactive MaterialsLicenseos," June 1985)indicatesthatmaximumcredibleaccidents (perh6ps caused by human factors) at sces facilities can result in hazardous radiclogical releases that may be harmful to the health and safety of workers s,nd the public. Histakes associated with operation of radiography equipment or irradiators, with medical administration of radioisotopes, or with stor6ge or i f transportation of nuclear waste could alw result in serious consequences. The Commission believes t' hat the potential consequences of accidents postulated fcr fuel cycle and other radioactive material licensees, regardless of cause, pose a smaller risk to the public than to those postulated for nuclear power plants. However, personal impairment due to drug use and alcohol abuse can increase the likelihood of accidents. It is in the interest of public health and safety to provide reasonable assurance against this risk. Certain fuel facilities possess large quantities of high enriched uronium and are subject to the safeguards requirements of 10 CFR 73.20. For fuel facilities subject to i 973.20, the Commission is planning to supplement the policy statement with a rulemaking that wculd impose specific fitness-for-duty requirements. Indiviauals affected would include those who have direct accrss to high e enriched uranium, those who are directly responsible for prctecting the raterial and those who are responsible for transporting the material. l l 8 Enclosure

Policy Statement This statement sets forth Comission policy on fitness for duty for NRC-licensed activities other than those associated with the operation or construction of a nuclear power plant and individuals licensed under 10 CFR Part 55, " Operators' Licenses." It is Comission policy that all involved in the use or possession of nuclear material licensed by the NRC will not be under the influence of any substance, either legal or illegal, that could adversely affect their ability to adequately perform duties in any way related to safety. The use of illegal drugs, the misuse or abuse of over-the-counter drugs and prescription drugs, and the misuse or abuse of alcohol by those conducting NRC-licensed activities is unacceptable. It is Comission policy that all licensees are encouraged to establish programs appropriate to their operations to provide reasonable assurance that all involved in NRC-licensed activities are fit for duty. The Comission recognized that some licensees l are required to establish fitness-for-duty programs imposed on them under certain legal authority (e.g., the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 or Department ofTransportationRegulations). The NRC fully supports these programs and considers this policy complementary to them. The NRC may, from time to time, ask individual licensees or groups of licensees to provide such information as the Comission may need to assess program adequacy. Enforcement This Policy Statement does not limit the authority of the NRC to conduct necessary inspections or to take appropriate enforcement action when regulatory requirements are not met. 9 Enclosure

,V i i As explained in the Commission's Enforcenent Policy, Appendix C to l 10 CFR P6rt 2, the Commissir.n nay take enforcement action where the ccnduct of an individual places in question the NRC's reasonable assurance that licensed activities will be properly conducted. Accordingly, enforcement action may be taken regarding matters that raise issues of fitness for duty whether or not .there is a violation of specific Commission requirements. Instances of an individual being unfit for duty that could potentially affect public health and safety may be subject to the. enforcement process. Orders would be issued where necessary to achieve corrective actions on fitness-for-duty matters affecting the s6fety of licensed activities such as removal of a person who presents a potential halird to the public health and safety because he or she was unfit for duty. f After review of comments on the above pclicy statement, experience with existir.g drug-use prevention programs, and experience with fitness-for-duty programs for power reactor personnel, the Cornission may revise its policy for mater 1a1 licensees or may enter into rulemaking.

SUBJECT:

FITNESS-FOR-DUTY FOR OTHER THAN NUCLEAR P0WER PLANTS Your April 18,'1989 memorandum presented a plan to fulfill the directives of the Comunission s SRM (Chilk to 5tallo Marct 22,1989,SECY-8g-30)ontheabove subject and asked that we identify whIch material and fuel cycle licensees should be included or excluded in a rulemaking on Fitness-for-Duty, using 4 assessed risk to workers and the public as a basis for the decision. - Associated costs and benefits, as appropriate for regulation of such licensees, were requested as well. We have reviewed the pros and cons for extending the Fitness-for-Duty Rule to cover material and fuel cycle licensees and concluded that rulemaking should be initiated only for a select set of licensees:. NRC regulated Category I facilities and Category I shipments. Esployees of such licensees who have access to strategic special nuclear.materialsuch material, or who transp should be covered by the rule. We recommend that other materials licensees be covered by a policy statesent which includes a. declared intention on the part of NRC to initiate enforcement action, including possible suspension of license, if personnel are found to be unfit-for-duty at the workplace. The rationale for selecting Category I facilities and Category I shipments for the rulemaking is based on the need to maintain comparabil ty with the Depart-l mentofEnergy(D0E). Further discussion of this decision as well as the exclusion of others from consideration for rulemaking (shipments of spent fuel, Category II and III facilities and shipments, and protection of workers from consequences of malevolent acts) are found in Enclosure 1, a meno on this subject from the Director Division of Safeguards and Transportation. Implementation of these recommendations must betlin with a Commission Paper thich indicates that there is.no analytical bas's for quantitative evaluation of public rio associated with materials and fuel cycle licensees.

Rather, judpent and experience must form the basis for our decision. To perform a qua itative assessment of risks related to drug or alcohol abuse by workers would be a major effort.

It should be noted that, several years ago, RES . initiated on behalf of NMSS a risk assessment study of fuel cycle activities thich.was dropped by RES, on the basis of a relative risk ranking of research activities, in favor of reactor-related confirmatory work. Therefore, we ~ cannot provide the risk-related base requested in item 2 of your memo. l oso/E EDCt.

,- u;. itse 3, the costs associated with extending the reactor rule to cover -Hereover, licensees is tied to item 2, and is likewise unknown. Costs might be unterial determined for implementing tha rulemaking or the policy, but we do not have di.ta on the number of accidents that would be avoided should a licensee fitness-for-duty program be implemented. Again, we must use judgment and a prudent approach in the case of adopting the DOC position on rulemaking for Category I facilities and shipments. With regard to the Policy Statement and Commission Paper you are now circulating, we suggest that it be modified to reflect our above reccomendations. If possible, the proposed rule for Catellery I facilities and Category I shipments should be. included with this Consissson Paper, but in the interest of time, could be developed separately. A schedule of activities for the latter approach is proposed in Enclosure 2. k wa Robert M. Bernero, Director Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards
