Hatch Nuclear Plant Fitness For Duty Performance Data Management Summary The data generated under the Fitness for Duty (FFD) program from January 2006 through June 2006 has been reviewed and analyzed. The data reflected in this report covers workers, including contract personnel, of the Edwin I. Hatch 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. All for-cause, follow-up, and suspect specimens are tested at the Limits of Detection (LOD) as noted. During this testing period, the rate of testing was equal to 50% yearly of the total population. Weekly quality control checks of the FFD 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 - Eleven individuals screened as positive and were denied access.
Three others presented suspicious specimens (low temperature, positive onsite nitrite),
refused to provide a witnessed specimen and access was denied. Two other individuals provided dilute specimens, were tested positive on the witnessed specimens and denied access. Three short-term contractors tested positive on random screens and access was terminated. One of these was acting in a supervisory capacity and notification was made as required by 10 CFR 26.73(a)(2)(ii) on February 14,2006.
Long-term Contractors - None Employees - None.
Employees who report a substance abuse-related arrest or any custodial arrest submit to FFD 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 was one employee referred for evaluation.

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 - Six individuals screened as positive and were denied access. Four others provided specimens with a low temperature: one refused a witnessed recollect, the other three were positive on witnessed recollect and all were denied access. One contractor provided a dilute pre-access specimen, refused a witnessed recollect and was denied access. One other individual tested positive for nitrites onsite, then provided two witnessed specimens that had a low temperature. The fourth specimen provided (also witnessed) was within all required parameters and was confirmed positive for amphetamine, methamphetamine, and marijuana metabolites. The MRO confirmed the three previous specimens positive due to refusal to provide specimens in accordance with 10 CFR Part 26 and his access was denied.
There was one short-term contractor who refused to provide a random specimen resulting in termination of access. Two were positive on follow-up tests and access was terminated.
One of these tested positive for alcohol resulting in immediate removal from access. The drug test results were confirmed positive for cocaine. The other individual provided a specimen with a low temperature that was also onsite positive for nitrites, and refused a witnessed recollection.
Long-term Contractors - None Employees - None Employees who report a substance abuse-related arrest or any custodial arrest submit to FFD 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.
