U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attention: Document Contt a C9sk                                                         ALE 3 l 1998 Washington, DC 20555 Haddam Neck Plant Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit Nos.1,2, and 3 Semiannual Fitness-for-Duty Performance Data for January 1998 throuah June 1998 Reference (a):   F. C. Rothen letter to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,                                i "Haddam Neck Plant, Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit Nos.1,2, and 3, Semiannual Fitness-for-Duty Performance Data for July 1997 through December 1997."
The provisions of 10CFR26.71(d) require power reactor licensees to collect and compile fitness-for-duty program performance data on a standard form and submit the
[     l data to the Commission within 60 days of the end of each 6-month reporting period (January through June and July through December). Accordingly, Attachments 1                                 /
through 6 contain fitness-for-duty program performance data for January 1998 through                            ,
June 1998.                                                                                                      ;
The previous semiannual report [ Reference (a)) stated that it would be the last report for the Haddam Neck Plant, since the Haddam Neck Plant is a non-power reactor licensee as defined in 10CFR26.2(b). This statement was inaccurate. Haddam Neck Plant Performance Data is contained in this report and will continue to be included in Semiannual Fitness-for-Duty Performance reports until such time that CY no longer                               '
maintains a 10CFR26 program.
The regulations allow flexibility in how to submit the data. For example, corporate and other support staff locations may be separately reported, but require that the following data be included: random testing rate'; drugs tested for and cutoff levels, including results of tests using lower cutoff levels and tests for other drugs; work force populations tested; numbers of tests and results by population and type of test (i.e.,

Attachment 1 to this letter contains an explanation of the performance data form, a summary of the performance data, a summary of management actions, and other significant fitness-for-duty events.
Attachments 2, 3, and 4 are separate compilations of data collected at Millstone Station, the Haddam Neck Plant, and Northeast Utilities' corporate office, respectively.
Attachment 5 is a compilation of the aforementioned sites into one data sheet. We believe that it is useful to submit separate and total data sheets to the NRC Staff to aid in the data collection and analysis process.
The drug and alcohol testing data for this testing period have been analyzed and any necessary corrective actions taken. Supporting information is on file at the corporate office.
Also included with this submittal, as Attachment 6, is data collected by Westinghouse Electric who conducts pre-access drug and alcohol testing for individuals who require unescorted access to the Haddam Neck Plant and Millstone Station. Westinghouse Electric Corporation has a fitness-for-duty program that has been audited and accepted by Northeast Utilities.

               . Cutoffs Northeast Utilities' cutoff levels- differ from NRC standard cutoff levels in the marijuana category only Northeast Utilities uses a 50 ng/ml screening cutoff level, which is more conservative than the NRC standard.
               . Substances Northeast Utilities testing program includes only the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) 5 substances.
               . Contractor Personnel Northeast Utilities does not maintain records for separate categories of contractors.          j Consequently, all contractor data is recorded under the short-term contractor                  I personnel category.                                                                            ;

The' data reported in the random test results category reflect.the number of tests actually performed at each of Northeast Utilities' collection locations.
Although random selection of the corporate support personnel is performed in

The remainder had unescorted access and their unescorted access was revoked. All of these contractors will not be considered for unescorted access for a period of one year, with the exception of one contractor individual who tested confirmed positive for a second time.
