Dear Mr. Chairman:

I am responding to your letter of June 14, 1988, concerning the $

huclear Fegulatory Commission's response-to allegations of mis-conduct by a manager at the Devis-Besse plant on December 31, 1986. The matters that you raise are the subject of an investigation by our Office of Investigations (01). Ol's report was issueo en July 7, 1988, and is currently under review by our i enforcement' staff to determine whether any regulatory action is  ;

appropriate. < 1 The Commission cypects all reactor licensees to have a vigorous fitness-for-duty program and to strive for a drug and alcohol-free j workplace. A variety of events, including the December 1986 1 incident at Davis-Besse, has led the Commission to become increasingly concerned about the potential impact on safety'from-nuclear power plant workers under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Recognizing the need for regulations to address the issue of fitness for duty of personnel at. nuclear power plants, the Commission met in public session on June 21, 1988, to consider e a proposed fitness-for-duty rulemaking package. After  ;

Commissien-directed revisions have been made, the proposed rule 1 will be published in the Federal Reaister for public; comment. '

l 1 am enclosin_g our responses to your specific questions about the J

l i Davis-Besse incident along with related documents. Many of the

. documents included in this package are exempt from mandatory i disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regula-  :

tions. These documents are appropriately marked to facilitate identification and proper handling. We request that you accord these documents confidentiality as their' unauthorized disclosure Qay impact any resulting enforcement actions. ,

Sincerely, a W.2Ze Lando W. . Jr. fs4
