MEMORANDUM FOR: Charles H. Weil, Investigation and Compliance Specialist THRU:
B. L. Burgess, Chief, Reactor Projects Section 2A FROM:
E. R. Swanson, Senior Resident Inspector,-Palisades-
SUBJECT:
FITNESS FOR DUTY PROGRAM ALLEGATION' At 10:00 a.m. on August 8.-1988 I received a phone call on the outside line'at the Palisades Resident Office.. The individual,- who did not identify himself, angrily inquired how an i_ndividual who was fired at one nuclear-plant.for-drug use could get-hired at another plant.
_-I explained that drug test-results are considered confidential medical information and that utilities do'not network this information.. He asked'if-the NRC'did'and I told him "no".
He then expressed concern about working with known drug addicts and hung:up.
Later that day the licensee briefed me (without prompting) on their response to two anonymous phone calls received on July 29 and August'1,-1988,_(same individual) questioning why they don't do ' drug testing during the ' night shifts and alleging that he saw two individuals with blue-hard hats-smoking marijuana.
In response, the licensee conducted drug testing of all individuals on site:
during the evening shift (with the exception of four guards who have been previously tested) on August 3, 1988. _The licensee had concluded that-'the alleger was concerned about-contractors on that shift because ncne were working
-the morning shift. Results'of the testing resulted. in the termination of 'one.
contractor _on-August 9, 1988. The individual l tested positive for cocaine-and did not wear a blue hard hat. The licensee will start testing"all contractors at the start of their employment after August 15,1988 (they had expected this
~
to preceed the outage). The " random" testing program will also be.mo'rej frequent during the outage and result in 100% testing'of contractors.
