V. C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION FITNESS FOR DUTY
SUMMARY
10 CFR 26.71(d) REQUIREMENTS FOR JANUARY 01, 2005 - JUNE 30,2005 MANAGEMENT ACTIONS A. Positive Test Results:
There were nine confirmed positive test results during this reporting period.
These results and subsequent management actions can be categorized as follows:
- 1. Pre-access Test:
There was one long-term contractor and six short-term contractors that tested confirmed positive for drugs during this reporting period.
In all cases, these individuals were denied unescorted access authorization and would not be eligible for retesting.
- 2. Follow-up Test:
One permanent employee tested confirmed positive for alcohol. This individual's unescorted access to the Emergency Offsite Facility was permanently revoked and their employment was terminated.
- 3. For-Cause Test:
There was one permanent employee that tested confirmed positive for alcohol. This individual's unescorted access to the Protected Area was permanently revoked and their employment was terminated.
B. Split Samples:
Three split samples were sent at the request of the donors to the back-up laboratory for testing. In all cases, the split samples tested confirmed positive and were reconfirmed positive by the Medical Review Officer.
C. Direct Observations:
The Medical Review Officer requested three direct observation collections.
There were no unusual findings.
I
DATA ANALYSIS A. Random Testing:
There were 304 random tests conducted during this reporting period with no confirmed positive test results. The average population during this reporting period was 1170, resulting in a random testing rate of 25.98%. Of the 304 random tests, 26 were performed on back-shift, weekends and holidays.
B. Lower Cut-off Levels:
No additional confirmed positive tests due to the lower cut-off level for marijuana.
C. Blind Performance Testing:
During the first quarter of 2005, there were 386 genuine specimens and 45 blind performance test specimens submitted to the primary testing laboratory, which constitutes a blind performance test rate of 11.66%. In the second quarter, there were 435 genuine specimens and 55 blind performance test specimens submitted to the primary testing laboratory, which constitutes a blind performance test rate of 12.64%.
In both quarters, the percentage of positive and negative blind performance specimens submitted was 20% and 80%, respectively. All drugs tested by our program were included in the positive specimens. There were no discrepant test results.
D. Population Groups:
There were seven confirmed positive tests for drugs involving one long-term and six short-term contractors during this reporting period. All seven contractors tested confirmed positive on pre-access tests and were not allowed unescorted access authorization.
Two permanent employees tested confirmed positive for alcohol. In both cases, their employment was terminated.
REPORTABLE EVENTS There were no reportable events during this reporting period.

SUMMARY
The absence of confirmed positive random test results for this period is indicative of a low rate of substance abuse among personnel enrolled in the V. C. Summer Nuclear Station Fitness for Duty Program. Maintaining an effective Fitness for Duty Program in order to provide a work environment free from the effects of drugs and alcohol remains a high priority for South Carolina Electric and Gas.
