The operator's site access has also been suspended. Both an initial test and a confirming test of the sample showed positive findings -- indicative of more than a passive inhalation of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. The test results were received by the licensee on January 22, 1987.
Th2 licensee conducted an imediate review of the operator's work assignments over the previous two weeks. He had performed instrument panel walkdowns while the plant was in cold shutdown. There was no evidence of error in his performance.
The individual was interviewed before being suspended and provided no conclusive information about possible drug use. In a previous random drug screening in October 1986, the test rGsults for this individual were negative.
The licensee's actions are in full compliance with its Fitness for Duty Program.
The State of Michigan will be informed of this information.
Region III was notified of this incident at 5 p.m. (EST), January 23, 1987. This informationiscurrentasof11a.m.(CST), January 26, 1987.
