. Enclosure 2 Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant and Southern Nuclear Operating Company Support Personnel Fitness For Duty Program Summary The data generated under the Fitness For Duty (FFD) program from January 1996 through June 1996 has been reviewed and analyzed. The data reflected in this report covers the following personnel: 1) workers, including contract personnel of the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant; 2) Southern Nuclear Operating Company employees located at corporate headquarters in Birmingham, Alabama; and 3) Southern Nuclear Operating Company support employees located at the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant and the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant.

The random pool contains not only those badges for unesco.ted access, but also those employees who may, in an emergency condition, be called upon to work at the site and may require unescorted access. Contractors without approved programs are included in the testing pool while on site. Testing during this time period was performed on a nominal weekly basis to include swing shifts, weekends, and holidays. During this testing period, the rate of testing was equal to 50% yearly of the total population.

In summarizing management actions associated with the FFD program, it should be emphasized that the incidents of confirming positive tests were very low. Consequently, management actions relative to determination of FFD have been limited. Contractor employees screened as positive are denied access and no further action is taken.

Management actions taken on licensee employees during this six month period included one individual who tested positive, was referred to the Employee Assistance Program, underwent rehabilitation, and has returned to work. All subsequent random and follow-up tests have been negative. This employee was not associated with activities of the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant.

Monthly quality control checks of the Fitnest, for Duty random pool revealed no major discrepancies from January through June.

As a pro-active measure, in April 1996, management instituted an enhancement to the arrest reponing requirement. Employees reporting a substance abuse related arrests will submit to for-cause fitness for duty testing and be referred for Employee Assistance evaluation by a mental health professional. To date, one employee at Plant Farley has been referred for evaluation and underwent outpatient rehabilitation.
