Page1of2 Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Fitness For Duty Program Summary The data generated under the Fitness For Duty (FFD) program from January 1997 through June 1997 has been reviewed and analyzed. The data reflected in d 's report covers workcrs, including contract personnel of the Vogtle Elcetric Generating 1 lant The facility operating license was transferred from Georgia Power Company to Southern Nuclear Operating Company on March 22,1997. Southern Nuclear support personnel located at Plant Vogtle were reported on the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant / Corporate lleadquarters report prior to the license transfer. The data from these employees is reported on this report aller March 22,1997.
The random pool contains not only those badged for unescorted access, but also those employees who may, in an emergency conditlen, be called upon to work at the site and may require unescorted access. Contrntors without approved programs are included in the testing pool while on site. Testing during this time period was performed on a nominal weekly basis to include swing shifts, weekends, and holidays. During this testing period, the rate of testing was equal to 50% yntly of the total population.
In summarizing management actions associated with the FFD program, it should be emphasized that the incidents of confirming positive tests were very low. Consequently, management actions relative to determination of FFD have been limited. Contractor employees screened as positive are denied access and no further action is taken. Two short-term contractors tested positive and access was denied.
Management actions taken on licensee employees during this six month period included two individuals who tested positive for marijuana. Both individuals were sheedy in the frequent follow up pool and their employment was terminated.
Weekly quality control checks of the Fitness for Duty random pool revealed only minor discrepancies from January through June.
In May,1997, a performance sample was erroneously screened as negative at pharmChem Laboratories, Inc., Menlo Park, CA. The sample was initially screened as positive for cocaine onsite at Plant Vogtle. These resuhs were consistent with the QC Specimen Control Log submitted by EISohly Laboratories, Oxford, MS. The matter was fully investigated by PharmChem J.aboratories' QA Manager and Vice President Laboratory Operations. Upon re-test, the sample was screened positive and confirmed.through GC/MS. The previous erroneous results were determined to be an anomalous outlier. A full Report of Unsatisfactory Performance Testing was submitted to the NRC June 23, 1997.

Page 2 of 2 Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Fitness For Duty Program Summary As a pro active measure, in April 1996, management instituted an enhancement to the arrest reporting requirement. Employees reporting a substance abuse related arrest will submit to for cause fitness for duty testing and be referred for Employee Assistance evaluation by a mental health professional to determine if there is a substance abuse or other problem. For this reporting period, two licensee employees were referred for evaluation. One employee is currently enrolled in rehabilitation and is in the frequent follow up testing pool for a period of three years. The other employee was terminated due to information revealed during the investigation that indicated questionable reliability and trustworthiness.
