LICENSED OPERATOR POSITIVE DRUG TEST
Dear Mr. Ray,
On June 9,1998, your facility reported that an NRC-licensed senior operator tested positive for alcohol following a random fitness-for-duty test taken on June 5,1998. This letter is a request for information pertaining to this occurrence. Within 30 days from the date of this letter, please provide answers to the questions listed in the enclosure to this letter and other records and information on this operator's past fitness for duty, which are relevant to this occurrence. Any other information that you think is pertinent or useful regarding this occurrence would also be appreciated. We request that any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information in your response be provided in a separate attachment and appropriately marked. The affidavit required by 10 CFR 2.790(b) must accompany your response, where applicable.
You should determine whether the operator meets the requirements of 10 CFR 55.33(a)(1).
You should ensure that (1) the operator meets the general health requirements of ANSI /ANS-3.4-1983, (2) the operator does not have a disqualifying condition under Section 5.3 of that standard, and (3) documentation describing the designated physician's conclusion that the operator meets the requirements of ANSI /ANS-3.4-1983 is available for review by the NRC. If a conditional license is requested in accordance with 10 CFR 55.25, that condition should be documented on NRC Form 396 and transmitted to the NRC.
If you determine that the operator no longer meets the medical qualifications described in 10 CFR 55.33(a)(1) then, in accordance with 10 CFR 55.25, you should notify the NRC via letter of the operator's incapacitation. For example, you must notify the NRC if you determine, based on your employee assistance program in consultation with your designated physician, that the operator can no longer meet the medical criteria of ANSI /ANS-3.4-1983.
The NRC will evaluate the information in your reply to this letter to determine if further action is warranted pursuant to 10 CFR Parts 50 or 55. The information supplied will be maintained in NRC Privacy System of Records-16 and will be subject to the Privacy Act.
