4.6.7. Physiological Changes that Follow a Daily Pattern | |||
Changes that Follow a Daily Pattern | |||
: 1. An individual's ability to perform and remain alert is influenced by physiological changes that follow a daily pattern. 2. Humans are hard-wired with a genetic ally-determined biological need for sleep and with a circadian pacemaker that pr ograms us to sleep at night and to be awake during the day, on a 24-hour schedule. 3. Sleep is a complex, active physiological state that is vital to human survival. 4. When an individual is deprived of sleep, the response is sleepiness, which is the brain's signal to prompt an i ndividual to obtain sleep. 5. When deprived of sleep (acutely or chronically), the human brain can spontaneously, in an uncontrolled fashion, shift from wakefulness to sleep in order to meet its physi ological need for sleep. 6. Twenty-four hour operations challenge t hese basic physiological principles. 7.

An individual's ability to perform and remain alert is influenced by physiological changes that follow a daily pattern. 2. Humans are hard-wired with a genetic ally-determined biological need for sleep and with a circadian pacemaker that pr ograms us to sleep at night and to be awake during the day, on a 24-hour schedule. 3. Sleep is a complex, active physiological state that is vital to human survival. 4. When an individual is deprived of sleep, the response is sleepiness, which is the brain's signal to prompt an i ndividual to obtain sleep. 5.

- 4. MAIN BODY 4.1. Behavior Observation Program 4.1.1. After an individual's emotional stability, reliability, and trustworthiness has been determined so that they can safely and competently perform assigned duties, and SY-AA-103-513Revision 7 Page 10 of 24 the individual has UAA or has been granted UA to Exelon's nuclear power stations or assigned responsibility for administration of the Fitness for Duty or Access Authorization Program activities, his/her behavior must be observed and evaluated not to exceed a 30 day timeframe. 4.1.2. Individuals are required to be fit-for-duty by getting sufficient rest to ensure they are not subject to fatigue. Individuals who make choices that result in less than adequate sleep to remain alert and avoid fatigue are not meeting their obligations to safely and competently perform assigned duties. 4.1.3. Methods used to manage fatigue include training, behavioral observation, fatigue countermeasures and work hour limitations. 4.1.4. The BOP shall include behavioral observation training, a legal action reporting program, and annual supervisory reviews. To maintain UAA/UA an individual must
be covered under a BOP. 4.1.5. The BOP is conducted by supervisors, management personnel and all who are trained and is intended to "detect individual behavioral changes which, if left unattended, could lead to acts detrimental to the public health and safety." 4.1.6. The BOP is not intended to be used as a means of reporting what might be considered inadequate or marginal job performance. Established methods available to supervisors should continue to be used in these cases. 4.1.7. Individuals who are on a leave of absence and/or are not in a BOP for greater than 30 days, shall have their unescorted access terminated and will be required to complete the appropriate Personnel History Questionnaire (PHQ) and/or any other Access Authorization and Fitness for Duty requirements depending on when the individual returns from the absence, prior to reinstatement of unescorted access. 4.1.8. If unusual behavior, suspected drug use, the detected odor of alcohol, or any conditions adverse to station safety for any individuals escorted and unescorted is observed, notify your supervisor and/or department head, and Security immediately. 4.1.9. If the sale, use, or possession of drugs in the station or on company property is observed, report this IMMEDIATELY to your supervisor and Security. 4.1.10. When it is identified that an individual may be impaired and such impairment could affect the safe operation of the plant or negatively reflect the individual's trustworthiness or reliability, that individual shall be escorted at all times, while within the protected area. 4.1.11. Although the BOP is the primary methodology for determining continued trustworthiness and reliability, clinical interviews may be used to provide added
assurance.
SY-AA-103-513Revision 7 Page 11 of 24 4.2. Training 4.2.1. The BOP training presented in Exelon's Fitness For Duty Program satisfies both the Access Authorization Rule and the Fitness For Duty Rule. This training provides reasonable assurance that individuals have sufficient awareness and sensitivity to
detect degradation in performance which may be the result of being under the influence of any substance, legal or illegal, fatigued, physical or mental impairment
which in any way may adversely affect their ability to safely and competently perform
their duties. 4.2.2. The program also provides techniques related to recognition of behaviors adverse to the safe operation and security of the facility, e.g., unusual interest in or predisposition towards security or operations activities outside the scope of ones normal work assignments, or frequent unexplained absence from work assignments.
Individuals will be trained to the supervisory level on their responsibilities for
remaining trustworthy and reliable. 4.2.3. The program also includes; recognition that changes in emotional state can happen quickly; typical conditions which trigger behavioral anomalies; the need for early intervention after recognition of changes in behavior which typically indicate changes
in emotional state; the recognition of uncharacteristic deviations in collegial interactions, uncharacteristic absences from work, or uncharacteristic inattention to
detail, or suspected alcohol or drug abuse; and the need to report the above conditions to the employee's assigned supervisor or fitness-for-duty program manager. 4.2.4. Personnel are trained to possess the following Knowledge and Abilities (K&A's): 1. Knowledge of the policy and procedures that apply to the individual, the methods that will be used to implement them, and the consequences of violating the policy
and procedures; 2. Knowledge of the individual's role and responsibilities under the FFD program;
- 3. Knowledge of the roles and responsibilities of others, such as the MRO and the human resources, FFD, and EAP staffs; 4. Knowledge of the EAP services available to the individual;
- 5. Knowledge of the personal and public health and safety hazards associated with abuse of illegal and legal drugs and alcohol; 6. Knowledge of the potential adverse effects on job performance of prescription and over-the-counter drugs, alcohol, dietary factors, illness, mental stress, and
fatigue; SY-AA-103-513Revision 7 Page 12 of 24
- 7. Knowledge of the prescription and over-the-counter drugs and dietary factors that have the potential to affect drug and alcohol test results; 8. Ability to recognize illegal drugs and indications of the illegal use, sale, or possession of drugs; 9. Ability to observe and detect performance degradation, indications of impairment, or behavioral changes; 10. Knowledge of the individual's responsibility to report an FFD concern and the ability to initiate appropriate actions, including referrals to the EAP and person(s)
designated by the licensee or other entity to receive FFD concerns; 11. Knowledge of the contributors to worker fatigue, circadian variations in alertness and performance, indications and risk factors for common sleep disorders, shift-
work strategies for obtaining adequate rest, and the effective use of fatigue
countermeasures; and 12. Ability to identify symptoms of worker fatigue and contributors to decreased alertness in the workplace.
4.3. Worker Stress 4.3.1. Individuals should be knowledgeable of causes of worker stress in the workplace. 1. Daily stress is normal.
- 2. Stress is derived from events that occur throughout life e.g., marriage and family life, job changes, job performance, etc. 3. Chronic stress the worker is at risk for adverse impact on day-to-day living, e.g., behavior changes. 4.3.2. Contributors to worker stress may include: 1. Increased irritability, feelings of depression, chronic fatigue (fatigue that has set in over several weeks or months), overreacting to any single situation, impulsiveness, excessive use of alcohol or drugs, and constant sense of worry. 4.3.3. Worker fatigue can also have an adverse effect on job performance.
4.4. Dietary Factors 4.4.1. Certain available food products such as poppy seeds, hemp oil, energy drinks containing alcohol, marijuana-flavored lollipops and coca leaf tea, some liquid or
inhalant cold and cough preparations containing alcohol or codeine although not all inclusive , may cause positive test results.
SY-AA-103-513Revision 7 Page 13 of 24 4.4.2. Marijuana-flavored lollipops have such names as Purple Haze, Acapulco Gold and Rasta. They are legal because they are made with hemp oil, a common ingredient in some health food, beauty supplies and other household products. The oil imparts marijuana's grassy taste but not the high. Merchants are calling them as a harmless novelty item for adults. Health food stores are also selling more and more products
made from hemp. Though consuming products containing hemp oil create no
psychoactive effect, they will cause a positive urinalysis test for marijuana. The
Medical Review Officer will not accept hemp product ingestion as an alternative
medical explanation for a positive marijuana test. 4.4.3. There is an herb named Kava Kava that is found in health food stores and has been used, like valerian root, as an over the counter "prescription" for stress relief and can
make you appear impaired. 4.4.4. Energy drinks containing alcohol are prohibited while on company property.
Individuals who consume these drinks are impaired because of the alcohol in their system. These drinks contain alcohol in quantities sufficient to cause a positive test
for alcohol and the MRO will not accept an energy drink product ingestion as an alternative medical explanation for a positive alcohol test. 4.4.5. Coca leaf tea contains cocaine in quantities sufficient to cause a positive test for cocaine, and the MRO will not accept coca leaf product ingestion as an alternative medical explanation for a positive cocaine test. 4.4.6. It is an employee's responsibility to maintain fitness for duty and be aware of the effects of each drink, food, or drug you ingest. Although a substance, food, or health supplement is reported "safe" for you and is legal, it does not mean it is wise or safe to ingest these items because they can result in a positive alcohol or drug test.
Remember to read labels and ask questions before you purchase and use a new
product. 4.5. Illegal Drugs 4.5.1. Some of the drugs which are illegal under federal, state, or local laws include, among others, marijuana, heroin, hashish, cocaine and hallucinogens. Depressants, stimulants, and other controlled substances not prescribed for current personal treatment by an accredited physician also fall under this rule. 4.5.2. Drugs can have a significant impact on job performance. Those individuals using drugs or other chemicals can have: 1. Impaired judgment and vision;
- 2. Changes in reflexes; and
- 3. Reduced analytical ability 4.5.3. Common drugs that may be used are:
SY-AA-103-513Revision 7 Page 14 of 24
- 1. Cannabis: Cannabis (e.g., marijuana,THC) is brilliant green in color with an odd number of saw-tooth edged leaves. Some signs of Cannabis use include: A. Bloodshot eyes, dilated (wide) pupils B. Appearance of intoxication or disorientation
- 2. Stimulants
- Stimulates the central nervous system. Some examples of stimulants include: caffeine, nicotine, amphetamines, methamphetamine, some
over-the-counter diet pills, and cocaine. Some signs of Stimulant use include: A. Increased alertness or excitation B. Euphoria
- 3. Depressant
- Depresses the central nervous system. Some examples of depressants include: barbiturates, Valium, Quaaludes, and alcohol. A. Some signs of Depressant use include:
B. Slurred speech C. Odor on breath (alcohol)
- 4. Narcotic: Used medically to relieve pain and to treat diarrhea. Some examples include: opium, heroin, codeine, morphine, and paregoric. A. Some signs of Narcotic use include:
B. Constricted or narrow pupils of the eyes C. Nausea
- 5. Hallucinogen
- Synthetic or natural drugs that distort the perception of objective reality. Use may lead to delusions and visual hallucinations. Some examples of hallucinogens include: psilocybin, LSD, phencyclidine (PCP) and mescaline. A. Some signs of Hallucinogen use include: B. Blank stare or rapid eye movement C. Delusions and visual hallucinations 4.6. Principle Factors that Contribute to Worker Fatigue 4.6.1. Individuals should be knowledgeable of causes and the impact of fatigue in the workplace as well as the effective use of counter measures. Knowledge of these topics is necessary to ensure that individuals are able to:
SY-AA-103-513Revision 7 Page 15 of 24
- 1. Self-manage fatigue that is caused by shift work and factors other than work hours; 2. Take actions to maintain their alertness at work; and
- 3. Recognize and seek treatment for sleep disorders that might be creating fatigue or making their own fatigue more severe.
4.6.2. Physical Fatigue is Present:
- 1. When an individual's diminished physical capability is due to overexertion; or 2. Excessive time of exertion; or
- 3. A brief physical workload that is excessive and the resulting fatigue degrades physical task performance.
4.6.3. Circadian Variations in Alertness and Performance:
- 1. The normal, inherent, unavoidable, 24-hour rhythms in human information processing and physical performance. 2. Most of these circadian rhythms fluctuate between a high point late in the day to a low point in the pre-dawn hours and are mostly exemplified by: A. Night work; and B. Shift work 4.6.4. Acute Fatigue
- can either be physical or mental and builds up normally and unavoidably within one waking period.
4.6.5. Cumulative Fatigue - can either be physical or mental and builds up across major waking periods when there is inadequate recovery (due to inadequate sleep)
between the waking periods.
4.6.6. Chronic Fatigue
- may set in after several weeks or months of cumulative fatigue. Its symptoms are similar to those of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS): 1. The desire to sleep;
- 2. Apathy;
- 3. Substantial impairment in short-term memory or concentration;
- 4. Muscle pain;
- 5. Multi-joint pain without swelling or redness; SY-AA-103-513Revision 7 Page 16 of 24
- 6. Headaches of a new type, pattern or severity; 7. Un-refreshing sleep; and
- 8. Post-exertional malaise lasting more than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
4.6.7. Physiological Changes that Follow a Daily Pattern
- 1. An individual's ability to perform and remain alert is influenced by physiological changes that follow a daily pattern. 2. Humans are hard-wired with a genetically-determined biological need for sleep and with a circadian pacemaker that programs us to sleep at night and to be
awake during the day, on a 24-hour schedule. 3. Sleep is a complex, active physiological state that is vital to human survival.
- 4. When an individual is deprived of sleep, the response is sleepiness, which is the brain's signal to prompt an individual to obtain sleep. 5. When deprived of sleep (acutely or chronically), the human brain can spontaneously, in an uncontrolled fashion, shift from wakefulness to sleep in
order to meet its physiological need for sleep. 6. Twenty-four hour operations challenge these basic physiological principles.
- 7. Individuals may be trying to work when the brain is programmed to be asleep, during the circadian low-point in alertness and performance capacity. 8. Conversely, individuals may be trying to sleep when the brain is programmed to be awake; leading to sleep loss and poor sleep quality, which further degrades alertness and performance capacity. 9. Shift work, altered and changing work schedules, crossing time zones, long hours of continuous wakefulness, and sleep loss can create sleep and circadian disruptions that degrade waking function. 10. This results in fatigue and sleepiness while driving, monitoring equipment; degraded vigilance and decision making; and a wide range of other performance
effects that can erode the safety margin in operational settings.
4.6.8. Two Common Sleep Disorders:
- 1. Sleep Apnea - A temporary suspension of breathing occurring repeatedly during sleep that often affects overweight people or those having an obstruction in the breathing tract, an abnormally small throat opening, or a neurological
disorder.
SY-AA-103-513Revision 7 Page 17 of 24
- 2. Insomnia - Chronic inability to fall asleep or remain asleep for an adequate length of time.
4.6.9. Indications and Risk Factors for Common Sleep Disorders:
- 1. Extended work and/or Commuting Periods; 2. Split-Shift Work Schedules
- 3. Sleep/Work Periods Conflicting with Circadian Rhythms;
- 4. Changing or Rotating Work Schedules;
- 5. Lack of Rest or Nap Periods;
- 6. Sleep Disruptions;
- 7. Inadequate Exercise Opportunities;
- 8. Poor Diet; and
- 9. Environmental Stressors 4.6.10. Shift-Work Strategies to Optimize Sleep Periods to Obtain Adequate Rest:
- 1. Minimize sleep loss; it is important not to begin a new work schedule with an existing sleep debt (normally requires 2 nights of unrestricted sleep); 2. Take naps; minimize to 30 minutes (only allowed during non-paid work time in designated areas when in a work status); 3. Develop good sleep habits; a regular pre-sleep routine can condition relaxation in preparation for falling asleep (physical and mental relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga and progressive muscle relaxation can be used); and 4. Understand the affects of food, alcohol and exercise; being hungry or eating too much may interfere with falling asleep as well as the use of nicotine or caffeine; alcohol produces easily disrupted, lighter sleep and suppresses REM (rapid eye movement); regular exercise may enhance deep sleep but avoid strenuous exercise within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> of going to bed.
4.6.11. Countermeasures that can be used at Home:
- 1. Adequate Sleep is the best way to prevent or resolve fatigue; 2. Create a comfortable sleep environment at home; get a comfortable mattress; adjust heating and cooling as needed and get in habit of sleeping 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> per

3.8. Exelon Nuclear Security Individuals are responsible for ensuring that the annual supervisor review is completed.
3.9. Reviewing Official
- will evaluate any notificat ion of observed behaviors or conditions identified in this proc edure to determine continued UAA/UA. 3.9.1. If the Reviewing Official has a reason to believe that the reported individual's trustworthiness or reliability is questionable, the reviewing official shall either administratively withdraw or terminate the individual's unescorted access unescorted access or unescorted access authorization while completing the re-evaluation or an investigation.
- 4. MAIN BODY 4.1. Behavior Observation Program 4.1.1. After an individual's em otional stability, reliability, and trustworthiness has been determined so that they can safely and competently perform assigned duties, and the individual has UAA or has been granted UA to Exelon's nuclear power stations or assigned responsibility for administrati on of the Fitness for Duty or Access Authorization Program activities, this must be maintained and his/her behavior must be observed and evaluated not to exceed a 30 day timeframe. 4.1.2. Individuals are required to be fit-for-duty by getting suffi cient rest to ensure they are not subject to fatigue. I ndividuals who make choices that result in less than adequate sleep to remain alert and avoid fati gue are not meeting th eir obligations to safely and competently perform assigned duties. 4.1.3. Methods used to manage fatigue include training, behavioral observation, fatigue countermeasures and work hour limitations. 4.1.4. The BOP shall include behavioral obs ervation training, a legal action reporting program, and annual supervisory reviews. To maintain UAA/UA an individual must be covered under a BOP and is required to comply with access authorization and fitness for duty program policies and procedures. 4.1.5. The BOP is conducted by supervisors, management personnel and all who are trained and is intended to "detect individual behavioral changes which, if left unattended, could lead to acts det rimental to the public health and safety."
SY-AA-103-513Revision 8 Page 12 of 26 4.1.6. The BOP is not intended to be used as a means of reporting what might be considered inadequate or marginal job performance.
Established methods available to supervisors should continue to be used in these cases. 4.1.7. Individuals who ar e on a leave of absence and/or are not in a BOP for greater than 30 days, shall have their unescorted access terminated and will be required to complete the appropriate Personnel History Questionnaire (PHQ) and/or any other Access Authorization and Fitness for Duty requirements depending on when the individual returns from the absence, prio r to reinstatement of unescorted access. 4.1.8. If unusual behavior, suspected drug us e, the detected odor of alcohol, or any conditions adverse to stati on safety for any individuals escorted and unescorted is observed, notify your supervi sor and/or department head, and Security immediately. 4.1.9. If the sale, use, or possession of drugs in the station or on company property is observed, report this IMMEDIATELY to your supervisor and Security. 4.1.10. When it is identified t hat an individual may be impaired and such impairment could affect the safe operation of the plant or negatively reflect the individual's trustworthiness or reliability, that individual shall be escorted at all times, while within the protected area. 4.1.11. Although the BOP is the primary methodology for determining continued trustworthiness and reliability, clinical interviews may be used to provide added
assurance.
4.2. Training 4.2.1. The BOP training present ed in Exelon's Fitness For Du ty Program satisfies both the Access Authorization Rule and the Fitness For Duty Rule. This training provides reasonable assurance that individuals have sufficient awareness and sensitivity to detect degradation in performance which may be the result of being under the influence of any substance, legal or illegal, fatigued, physical or mental impairment which in any way may adversely affect thei r ability to safely and competently perform their duties. 4.2.2. The program also provides techniques related to recognition of behaviors adverse to the safe operation and security of the facility, e.g., unusual interest in or predisposition towards security or operations activities outside the scope of ones normal work assignments, or frequent unexplained absence from work assignments.
Individuals will be trained to the supervisory level on their responsibilities for remaining trustworthy and reliable.
SY-AA-103-513Revision 8 Page 13 of 26 4.2.3. The program also includes; recogniti on that changes in emotional state can happen quickly; typical conditions which trigger behavioral anomalies; the need for early intervention after recognition of changes in behavior which typically indicate changes in emotional state; the re cognition of uncharacteristic deviations in collegial interactions, uncharacteristic absences from work, or uncharacteristic inattention to detail, or suspected alcohol or dr ug abuse; and the need to report the above conditions to the employee's assigned supervisor or fitness-for-duty program manager. 4.2.4. The training program shall address the knowledge and abilities necessary to detect behavior or activities that have the potentia l to constitute an unreasonable risk to the public health and safety and common defense and security, including the potential to commit radiological sabotage. 4.2.5. Personnel are trained to possess the following Knowledge and Abilities (K&A's): 1. Knowledge of the policy and procedures that apply to the individual, the methods that will be used to implement them, and the consequences of violating the policy and procedures; 2. Knowledge of the individual's role and responsibilities un der the FFD program; 3. Knowledge of the roles and responsibilit ies of others, such as the MRO and the human resources, FFD, and EAP staffs; 4. Knowledge of the EAP services available to the individual; 5. Knowledge of the personal and public health and safety hazards associated with abuse of illegal and legal drugs and alcohol; 6. Knowledge of the potential adverse effects on job performance of prescription and over-the-counter drugs, alcohol, dietary factors, illness, mental stress, and fatigue; 7. Knowledge of the prescr iption and over-the-counter dr ugs and dietary factors that have the potential to affect drug and alcohol test results; 8. Ability to recognize illegal drugs and indications of the illegal use, sale, or possession of drugs; 9. Ability to observe and detect performance degradation, indications of impairment, or behavioral changes; 10. Knowledge of the individual's responsibility to report an FFD concern and the ability to initiate appropriate actions, including referrals to the EAP and person(s) designated by the licensee or other entity to receive FFD concerns; 11. Knowledge of the contributors to worker fatigue, circadi an variations in alertness and performance, indications and risk factors for common sleep disorders, shift-SY-AA-103-513Revision 8 Page 14 of 26 work strategies for obtaining adequate rest, and the effective use of fatigue countermeasures; and 12. Ability to identify symptoms of wo rker fatigue and contributors to decreased alertness in the workplace. 4.2.6. All individuals i dentified herein shall under go initial BOP training.
The initial training shall include a comprehensive examinati on addressing these requirements. BOP Refresher training shall be completed on a nominal annual basis and shall be documented as required by licensee or C/V procedures. In lieu of refresher training a comprehensive examination may be administered. 4.2.7. Remedial training and re-testing are required for individuals who fail to satisfactorily complete the comprehensive examination. 4.2.8. Initial and refresher trai ning may be delivered using a variety of media (including, but not limited to, classroom lectures, required reading, video, or computer-based training systems). The licensee or C/V shall monitor the completion of training.
4.3. Worker Stress 4.3.1. Individuals should be know ledgeable of causes of worker stress in the workplace. 1. Daily stress is normal.
- 2. Stress is derived from events that occu r throughout life e.g
., marriage and family life, job changes, job pe rformance, etc. 3. Chronic stress the worker is at risk fo r adverse impact on day-to-day living, e.g., behavior changes. 4.3.2. Contributors to wo rker stress may include: 1. Increased irritability, feelings of depre ssion, chronic fatigue (fatigue that has set in over several weeks or months), overreacting to any single situation, impulsiveness, excessive use of alcohol or drugs, and constant sense of worry. 4.3.3. Worker fatigue can also have an adverse effect on job performance.
4.4. Dietary Factors 4.4.1. Certain available food products such as poppy seeds, hemp oil, energy drinks containing alcohol, marijuana-flavored lollipops and coca l eaf tea, some liquid or inhalant cold and cough preparations containing alcohol or c odeine although not all inclusive , may cause positive test results. 4.4.2. Marijuana-flavored loll ipops have such names as Purple Haze, Acapulco Gold and Rasta. They are legal because they are ma de with hemp oil, a common ingredient in some health food, beauty supplies and ot her household products. The oil imparts marijuana's grassy taste but not the high. Merchants are calling them as a harmless SY-AA-103-513Revision 8 Page 15 of 26 novelty item for adults. Health food stores are also selling more and more products made from hemp. Though consuming pr oducts containing hemp oil create no psychoactive effect, they will cause a pos itive urinalysis test for marijuana. The Medical Review Officer will not accept hemp product ingestion as an alternative medical explanation for a positive marijuana test. 4.4.3. There is an herb named Kava Kava t hat is found in health food stores and has been used, like valerian root, as an over the count er "prescription" for stress relief and can make you appear impaired. 4.4.4. Energy drinks containing alcohol are prohibited while on company property.
Individuals who consume thes e drinks are impaired because of the alcohol in their system. These drinks contain alcohol in q uantities sufficient to cause a positive test for alcohol and the MRO will not accept an energy drink product ingestion as an alternative medical explanation for a positive alcohol test. 4.4.5. Coca leaf tea contains cocaine in quantities sufficient to cause a positive test for cocaine, and the MRO will not accept coca leaf product ingestion as an alternative medical explanation for a positive cocaine test. 4.4.6. It is an employee's responsibility to maintain fitness for duty and be aware of the effects of each drink, food, or drug you ingest. Although a subst ance, food, or health supplement is reported "safe" fo r you and is legal, it does not mean it is wise or safe to ingest these items because they can resu lt in a positive alc ohol or drug test. Remember to read labels and ask questions before you purchase and use a new product. 4.5. Illegal Drugs 4.5.1. Some of the drugs which are illegal under federal, state, or local laws include, among others, marijuana, heroin, hashish, cocaine and hallucinogens. Depressants, stimulants, and other controlled substances not prescribed for current personal treatment by an accredited physician also fall under this rule. 4.5.2. Drugs can have a significant impact on job performance. Those individuals using drugs or other chemicals can have: 1. Impai red judgment and vision; 2. Changes in reflexes; and
- 3. Reduced analytical ability 4.5.3. Common drugs t hat may be used are:
- 1. Cannabis: Cannabis (e.g., marijuana,THC) is brilliant green in color with an odd number of saw-tooth edged leaves. Some signs of Cannabis use include: A. Bloodshot eyes, dilated (wide) pupils SY-AA-103-513Revision 8 Page 16 of 26 B. Appearance of intoxication or disorientation
- 2. Stimulants
- Stimulates the central nervous system. Some examples of stimulants include: caffeine, nicotine, amphetamines, methamphetamine, some over-the-counter diet pills, and cocaine. So me signs of Stimulant use include: A. Increased alertness or excitation B. Euphoria
- 3. Depressant
- Depresses the central nervous system. Some examples of depressants include: barbiturates, Valium, Quaaludes, and alcohol. A. Some signs of Depressant use include:
B. Slurred speech C. Odor on breath (alcohol)
- 4. Narcotic: Used medically to relieve pain and to treat diarrhea.
Some examples include: opium, heroin, codei ne, morphine, and paregoric. A. Some signs of Narcotic use include:
B. Constricted or narrow pupils of the eyes C. Nausea
- 5. Hallucinogen
- Synthetic or natural drugs that distort the perception of objective reality. Use may lead to delusions and vi sual hallucinations. Some examples of hallucinogens include: psilocybin, LS D, phencyclidine (PCP) and mescaline. A. Some signs of Hall ucinogen use include: B. Blank stare or rapid eye movement C. Delusions and visual hallucinations 4.6. Principle Factors that Contribute to Worker Fatigue 4.6.1. Individuals should be knowledgeable of causes and the impact of fatigue in the workplace as well as the effective use of counter measures. Knowledge of these topics is necessary to ensure that individuals are able to: 1. Self-manage fatigue that is caused by shift work and factors other than work hours; 2. Take actions to maintain their alertness at work; and SY-AA-103-513Revision 8 Page 17 of 26
- 3. Recognize and seek treatment for sleep disorders t hat might be creating fatigue or making their own fa tigue more severe.
4.6.2. Physical Fatigue is Present:
- 1. When an individual's dimi nished physical capability is due to overexertion; or 2. Excessive time of exertion; or
- 3. A brief physical workload that is excessive and the resulting fatigue degrades physical task performance.
4.6.3. Circadian Variations in Alertness and Performance:
- 1. The normal, inherent, unavoidable, 24-hour rhythms in human information processing and physical performance. 2. Most of these circadian rhythms fluctuat e between a high point late in the day to a low point in the pre-dawn hours and are mostly exemplified by: A. Night work; and B. Shift work 4.6.4. Acute Fatigue
- can either be physical or m ental and builds up normally and unavoidably within one waking period.
4.6.5. Cumulative Fatigue
- can either be physical or mental and builds up across major waking periods when there is inadequate recovery (due to inadequate sleep) between the waking periods.
4.6.6. Chronic Fatigue
- may set in after several weeks or months of cumulative fatigue. Its symptoms are similar to those of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS): 1. The desire to sleep; 2. Apathy;
- 3. Substantial impairment in short-term memory or concentration; 4. Muscle pain;
- 5. Multi-joint pain without swelling or redness;
- 6. Headaches of a new type, pattern or severity;
- 7. Un-refreshing sleep; and SY-AA-103-513Revision 8 Page 18 of 26
- 8. Post-exertional malaise lasting more than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
4.6.7. Physiological Changes that Follow a Daily Pattern
- 1. An individual's ability to perform and remain alert is influenced by physiological changes that follow a daily pattern. 2. Humans are hard-wired with a genetic ally-determined biological need for sleep and with a circadian pacemaker that pr ograms us to sleep at night and to be awake during the day, on a 24-hour schedule. 3. Sleep is a complex, active physiological state that is vital to human survival. 4. When an individual is deprived of sleep, the response is sleepiness, which is the brain's signal to prompt an i ndividual to obtain sleep. 5. When deprived of sleep (acutely or chronically), the human brain can spontaneously, in an uncontrolled fashion, shift from wakefulness to sleep in order to meet its physi ological need for sleep. 6. Twenty-four hour operations challenge t hese basic physiological principles. 7. Individuals may be trying to work w hen the brain is progr ammed to be asleep, during the circadian low-point in alertness and performance capacity. 8. Conversely, individuals may be trying to sleep when the brai n is programmed to be awake; leading to sleep loss and poor sleep quality, which further degrades alertness and performance capacity. 9. Shift work, altered and changing wo rk schedules, crossing time zones, long hours of continuous wakefulness, and sleep loss can create sleep and circadian disruptions that degr ade waking function. 10. This results in fatigue and sleepine ss while driving, monitoring equipment; degraded vigilance and decision making; and a wide range of other performance effects that can erode the safety margin in operational settings.
4.6.8. Two Common Sleep Disorders:
- 1. Sleep Apnea - A temporary suspensio n of breathing occurring repeatedly during sleep that often affects overweight people or those having an obstruction in
the breathing tract, an abnormally small throat opening, or a neurological disorder. 2. Insomnia - Chronic inability to fa ll asleep or remain asleep for an adequat e
length of time.
4.6.9. Indications and Risk Factors for Common Sleep Disorders:
- 1. Extended work and/or Commuting Periods; SY-AA-103-513Revision 8 Page 19 of 26
- 2. Split-Shift Work Schedules 3. Sleep/Work Periods Conflict ing with Circadian Rhythms; 4. Changing or Rotating Work Schedules;
- 5. Lack of Rest or Nap Periods;
- 6. Sleep Disruptions;
- 7. Inadequate Exercise Opportunities;
- 8. Poor Diet; and
- 9. Environmental Stressors 4.6.10. Shift-Work Strategies to Optimize Sleep Periods to Obtain Adequate Rest:
- 1. Minimize sleep loss; it is important not to begin a new work schedule with an existing sleep debt (normally requires 2 nights of unrestricted sleep); 2. Take naps; minimize to 30 minutes (only allowed during non-paid work time in designated areas when in a work status); 3. Develop good sleep habits; a regular pr e-sleep routine can condition relaxation in preparation for falling asleep (physical and mental relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga and progressive mu scle relaxation can be used); and 4. Understand the affects of food, alcohol and exercise
- being hungry or eating too much may interfere with falling asleep as well as the use of nicotine or caffeine; alcohol produces easily disrupted, light er sleep and suppresses REM (rapid eye movement); regular exercise ma y enhance deep sleep but avoid strenuous exercise within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> of going to bed.
4.6.11. Countermeasures that can be used at Home:
- 1. Adequate Sleep is the best way to prevent or resolve fatigue; 2. Create a comfortable sleep environment at hom e; get a comfortable mattress; adjust heating and cooling as needed and get in habit of sleeping 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> per
night; 3. Napping (only allowed during non-paid work time in designated areas) and should be less than 30 minutes. Longer naps produce sleep inertia, which is counterproductive; 4. Anchor sleep is 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> of sleep at the same time each day used when a normal 8-hour sleep cannot be achieved (effect when changing from shift to shift); and 5. Being mindful of effects of medications SY-AA-103-513Revision 8 Page 20 of 26 4.6.12. Countermeasures that can be used at Work:
- 1. Strategic caffeine use to help work through decreased alertness; 2. Social interaction and active involvement in conversation; 3. Physical activity such as st retching and isometric exercises; and 4. Consume well-balanced meals and plan ahead for nutritious snack food (simple carbohydrates can cause "sugar highs" fo llowed by lows that cause decreased alertness) 4.6.13. Symptoms of fatigue include:
- 1. Yawning 2. Red eyes
- 3. Prolonged/excessive blinking
- 4. Irritability
- 5. Sleepiness
- 6. Difficulty concentrating
- 7. Apathy
- 8. Feeling of isolation
- 9. Annoyance
- 10. Increased reaction time to stimulus
- 11. Slowing of higher level mental functioning
- 12. Decreased vigilance
- 13. Memory problems
- 14. Increased errors while performing tasks 4.6.14. Contributors to Decreased Alertness and Increased Worker Fatigue:
- 1. Task demands such as: A. Repetitiveness B. High cognitive demands C. High level of required attention SY-AA-103-513Revision 8 Page 21 of 26 D. Sedentary E. Lack of social interaction 2. Environmental conditions such as: A. High heat and humidity B. Poor lighting C. Low frequency noise 4.7. Legal Action Reporting 4.7.1. Any individual who signs a personal hi story questionnaire in or der to obtain UAA/UA but has not been certified UAA or granted UA and individuals with UAA/UA who have had any legal action, as defined in this procedure, are required to report this on their first day back to work subsequent to th e incident. Any incident involving drugs or alcohol must be reported. If there is any ques tion as to whether an incident is reportable, individuals should contact t heir Supervisor, Department Head, and/or Site Security Access/Fitness Fo r Duty Lead for a determination. 4.7.2. The Supervisor, or Department Head shall ensure the individual reports the incident to Site Security Access/Fitness For Duty Lead and the local Human Resources Department for Exelon employees. 4.7.3. The Site Security Access/Fitness Fo r Duty Lead shall complete Attachment 1, Exelon Legal Action Self-Reporting Form, p age 1, Section 1, and promptly forward the information to the corporate reviewing official. 4.7.4.

Exelon Nuclear Corporate Security will review Attachment 1 on the day that the report is received and shall evaluate the ci rcumstances related to the reported legal action(s) and re-determine trustworthiness and reliability and track legal action until closure. 4.7.6. When the employee notifies Exelon Site Security Access/Fitness For Duty Lead, Human Resources or the cognizant Exelon manager will be included in the notification process if required or if requested by the employee. 1. As a minimum, the employee should be prepared to provi de the date of the incident, the charge, final disposition and/or court date, if known.
SY-AA-103-513Revision 8 Page 22 of 26 4.7.7. Failure to report any legal action could result in unescorted access being denied. In addition to the potential denial of unescort ed access, Exelon personnel who fail to report an incident could receive disciplinary action up to and including termination.
Exelon Corporate Nuclear Security will di scuss the legal action with the individual and evaluate the incident for appropriate action. The reporting of any legal action may result in unescorted access being pl aced on temporary hold pending further review. A decision regarding the status of his/her unescorted access will be made and the employee advised. 4.7.8. Upon receipt of information of a felony conviction of a licensed operator, Exelon Corporate Nuclear Security will notify Hu man Resources. The site has 30 days to notify the Nuclear Regulatory Commission about the Operator's conviction for a felony per the requirements of 10CFR 55.53(g). 4.7.9. Upon receipt of information of a domestic violence legal action on a member of the Security organization, Site Security A ccess/Fitness For Duty Lead will notify the Security Manager. 4.7.10. Upon receipt of a drug or alcohol-related legal action for a critical group individual, the Site Access/Fitness for Duty Lead shall immediately notify the station nurse. 4.7.11. It is imperative that this informati on be kept confidential and all individuals and departments involved are responsible for maintaining confidentiality. 4.7.12. Exelon Corporate Nuclear Security will not ify the individual in writing of the final disposition. Human Resources will also be notified for Exelon employees.
4.8. Supervisor Review CAUTION If the annual supervisory review is not completed by the expiration date, UAA/UA will be terminated. 4.8.1. A supervisory review shall be co nducted on a nominal annual basis for each individual in the critical group with U AA/UA, utilizing the Behavior Observation Program - Annual Supervisory Review form in Appendix G, of NEI 03-04, Guideline for Plant Access Training, or equivalent including an electronic process or form. 4.8.2. A supervisory review shall be conduc ted on a nominal annual basis for all other individuals with UAA/UA, maintained for 365 consecutive days. Supervisory reviews are not required for an individual where UAA/UA is terminated prior to the anniversary date of granting UAA/UA. The status of supervisory reviews is not required to be provided to other licensees. 4.8.3. The review shall be conducted by the indi vidual's immediate super visor. The review shall be based on interactions with the i ndividual over the review period, is not SY-AA-103-513Revision 8 Page 23 of 26 intended to be face to face or replace daily responsibilities as discussed within this procedure and shall include: 1. A description of any condition that ma y have resulted in the employee acting or behaving in an unconventional manner; 2. Any circumstances which may indicate the need to refer the employee for additional medical or psychological re view; and any information developed over the review period, regarding the behavio ral characteristics of the employee supervised. This information would typically include behavioral norm deviations which have been reported to the superviso r through implementat ion of the BOP, as well as those behavioral norm deviations personally observed by the supervisor. 4.8.4. If the supervisor does not have the frequent interaction with the individual throughout the review period needed to form an in formed and reasonable opinion regarding the individual's behavior, trustworthiness, and reliab ility, the individual is also subject to a supervisory interview in accordance wi th the requirements of the licensee's or C/V's BOP. 4.8.5. For Exelon employees, in cases where t he individual's position is one of the highest ranking positions of authority, or the individual does not physically report to the same permanent work location as the individuals immediate supervisor, the supervisory review may be completed by another super visor who works directly with the individual on a regular basis and is aware/trained on their responsibilities for
behavior observation. 4.8.6. When potential disq ualifying information is identifi ed, the Annual Supervisory Review shall be evaluated by an access authorizat ion program reviewing official to determine if additional action is required conc erning the individual's trustworthiness, reliability, and fitness for dut
- y. The completed review shall be included as part of the licensee's access authorization files.
4.9. Record Retention 4.9.1. Annual Supervisor Re views and Legal action Reporti ng documentation for an individual must be retained for a minimum of five years following access termination from the authorizing licensee's program.
