. Attachment 1 Summary of Data Analysis and Management Actions Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station January - June 1996

1. Initiatives Taken The following summarizes the results of sweeps conducted by PECO Energy Company's drug sniffing canine teams as well as investigations and interviews used to confirm information about illicit activities at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS) during the period.

a. January 31,1996 - General team sweep of Technical Support Center. Results: No activation's.

b. February 29,1996 -- General team sweep of 'B' Cooling Tower Construction Activities.

Twenty contractors' personal vehicles searched. Results: Activation's on six vehicles.

No drugs found or forensic samples taken. The owner of one vehicle refused to allow Security to search the vehicle. Contractor was removed from site and denied access.

- c. March 19,1996 - General team sweep of the PBAPS Occupational Health and Safety Offices. Results: Two activation's. No drugs found or forensic samples taken.

d. April 17,1996 - For cause search of PECO Energy employee's private vehicle on station property, outside protected area. Results: Two activation's. Forensic sample taken from vehicle ash tray. Laboratory analysis confirmed forensic sample as marijuana. Employee was terminated.

e. May 30,1996 - For cause team sweep of contractor's private vehicle. Results: Three activation's. Forensic sample taken from vehicle ash tray. Laboratory analysis confirmed forensic sample as marijuana. Contractor was denied unescorted access.

f. June 07,1996 - General team sweep of warehouse construction project. Results: Six activation's. No drugs found or forensic samples taken.

11. Manaaement Actions During the period, one PECO Energy employee tested positive at PBAPS based upon a Random test. The employee was denied unescorted access. Treatment and rehabilitation were provided through the PECO Energy Employee Assistance Program. The employee was subsequently discharged.

During the period, seven contractor employees (i.e., six pre-access and one follow-up) tested positive at PBAPS. Unescorted access was denied for all seven contractor employees.

Ill. Events Reoorted Under 10 CFR 26.73 There were no significant FFD events reported by PBAPS during the period.

IV. Audits /insoections A reactive surveillance was initiated based on identification, by the Fitness-For-Duty Manager, of discrepancies between chemical test results reported electronically by the contracted HHS-Laboratory and hard copy reports of the same tests. Section 2.7 (g)(5) of Appendix A to 10 CFR part 26, does permit the electronic transmission of test results from the laboratory to the Medical Review Officer. The surveillance was performed to verify that adequate controls are in place to i

1

l

, 1

, ' assure the accuracy of the hardcopy test reports that are the basis for PECO management actions.

The NRC and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, HHS were notified of the event.

The surveillance determined that the HHS-Laboratory's controls are adequate to assure the accuracy of the hardcopy test reports. In addition, PECO does not initiate management actions .

or sanctions, based on test reposts obtained by electronic data transfer. The HHS-Laboratory has determined that their electronic database of test results was not corrupted, but that the report generator incorrectly retrieved some data from a historical database. This resulted in the i discrepancy between reports.

The HHS-Laboratory's investigation of the event included a review of the repost generator code.

The exact cause of the erroneous reports could not be determined and the event could not be duplicated. The HHS-Laboratory has implemented suitable administrative controls to assure that electronic data files are reviewed for accuracy prior to transmittal. i l'

inspectors from the National Laboratory Certification Program reviewed the event and corrective actions initiated by the HHS-Laboratory. No laboratory certification concems were identified. I Strenaths i All hardcopy laboratory reports are checked for accuracy and verified against laboratory data prior to signoff by the certifying scientist.

Electronically transmitted results are checked for accuracy and verified against hardcopy laboratory reports prior to initiating management actions.

Weaknesses Discrepancies in electronically transmitted reports may not be readily apparent. Corrective actions initiated have effectively addressed this weakness. ,

l V. Random Testina Rate ,

1 PECO Energy maintains separate testing " pools" for employees and contractors. Random testing i is conducted at an annualized rate of 50% The " average number with unescorted access" includes personnel granted unescorted act.,ess at both PBAPS and LGS.

VI. Adddionalinformation 6gggns Taken based upon Unconfirmed On-site Screenina i

PECO Energy has decided to temporarily suspend access for individuals as permitted by 10 q CFR 26.24(d).

l During the previous 6-month reporting period, (i.e., July - December 1995),100 percent of the

specimens which were determined to t'e presumptively positive for cocahe as a result of preliminary on-site screening tests were subsequently reported as positive by the HHS-certified

) laboratory. The confirmation rate for marijuana was 92.9%, greater than the required 85 percent.

During reporting period, January - June 1996, seven specimens were reported as presumptive 3 positive for marijuana as a result of on-site screening. Five of those specimens screened positivs

and were confirmed as positive by the HHS-certified laboratory. The MRO verifitxf the five

, specimens as positive. Of the seven specimens identified as presumptive positive for marijuana, i

1

1 one was collected from an individual with unescorted access. The individual was temporarily suspended pending the confirmatory testing and MRO verification process. The specimen was confirmed and verified as positive.

During the reporting period, January - June 1996, three specimens were reported as presumptive positive for cocaine as a result of on-site screening, All three specime,1s screened positive and were confirmed as positive by the HHS-certified laboratory. The MRO verified the three specimens as positive. Of the three specimens identified as presumptive positive for cocaine, one was collected from an individual with unescorted access. The individual was temporarily suspended pending the confirmatory testing and MRO verification process. The specimen was I confirmed and verified as positive. i l

Reduced Mariluana Cut-off Level j During the period, there were five confirmed positive tests for marijuana at PBAPS. It is estimated that two of the specimens would have tested positive using the 100 ng/ml immunoassay cut-offlevel.

! PECO Energy has decided to temporarily suspend access for individuals as permitted by 10 l CFR 26.24(d).

During the previous '6-month reporting period, (i.e., July - December 1995),100 percent of the specimens which were determined to be presumptively positive for cocaine as a result of preliminary on-site screening tests were subsequently reported as positive by the HHS-certified laboratory. The confirmation rate for specimens identified as presumptive positive for marijuana was 70 %. The combined testing experience for LGS and PBAPS was 86.8%.

During the reporting period, January - June 1996, there were five specimens identified as presumptive positive for cocaine as a result of on-site screening. All five of those specimens were screened positive and reported as confirmed positive by the HHS-certified laboratory. The MRO verified the five specimens as positive following discussion with the individuals. Two of those five specimens were collected from individuals with unescorted access. The individuals were temporarily suspended and subsequently denied unescorted access upon confirmation and verification by the MRO.

l During the reporting period, January - June 1996, there were twelve specimens identified as I

( presumptive positive for marijuana as a result of on-site screening. Eight of those specimens l l screened positive and were reported as confirmed positive by the HHS-certified laboratory. The MRO verified the eight specimens as positive following discussion with the individuals. Four of those eight specimens were collected from individuals with unescorted access. The individuals were temporarily suspended and subsequently denied unescorted access upon confirmation and verification by the MRO.

Reduced Mantuana Cut-off Level During the period, there were twelve confirmed positive tests for marijuana at LGS. It is estimated that only five of the specimens would have tested positive using the 100 ng/mi immunoassay cut-off level.
