Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant Fitness For Duty Performance Data Management Summary The data generated under the Fitness for Duty (FFD) program from January 2003 through June 2003 has been reviewed and analyzed. The data reflected in this report covers workers, including contract personnel, of the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant.
The random pool contains not only those badged for unescorted access, but also those employees who may, in an emergency condition, be called upon to work at the site and may require unescorted access. Contractors 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% yearly of the total population.
Weekly quality control checks of the Fitness for Duty random pool revealed, at most, minor discrepancies during this reporting period.
In summarizing management actions associated with the FFD program, it should be emphasized that the incidence of confirming positive tests was very low. Consequently, management actions relative to determination of FFD have been limited. The following actions were taken relative to the confirmed positive tests during this reporting period:
Short-term Contractors - Fifteen individuals screened as positive and were denied access. Two others refused to provide specimens in accordance with 10 CFR 26 during the screening process.
On retest, these two individuals tested positive and access was denied. One other individual tested positive when subjected to a required retest and access was terminated.
Long-term Contractors - None.
Employees - One employee tested positive on a random, was sent for mandatory evaluation.
(Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, this individual has been determined to be fit for duty, has returned to work, is completing outpatient treatment requirements and has been entered into the follow-up pool.)
Employees who report a substance abuse-related arrest or any custodial arrest submit to fitness for duty testing and are referred for an Employee Assistance Program evaluation by a mental health professional to determine if there is a substance abuse or other problem. For this reporting period, there were three employees referred for evaluation.
