Dear Sir:
Drun Testing In February 1988, Portland General Electric Company (PGE) implemented a manda-tory drug testing program for those individuals requiring unescorted access to the Trojan Nuclear Plant.
In accordance with that program, we have developed requirements for use by contractors and agencies whose personnel require unes-corted access.
A copy of these requirements is attached. These requirements will be applied to members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requiring unescorted access unless specifically exempted. Additionally, PGE has imple-mented new regulations prohibiting the consumption of alcoholic beverages during the workday (lunch and breaks included). Our Security and supervisory personnel have been directed to deny or revoke access to anyone under the influence of or with the odor of alcoholic beverages about the employee's person.
Sincerely, MW w
