SECTION III.
FFD Program Modifications and Lessons Learned In response to the NRC's issuance of Regulatory Issue Summary 2002-07, Clarification of NRC Requirements Applicable to Worker Fatigue and Self Declarations of Fitness-for-Duty, Employee Concerns and Human Resources/
FFD sent a reaffirmation to all Supervisors and Managers. This reaffirmation emphasized the importance our employees provide when they raise safety concerns, and their responsibility to report to work fit for duty and inform their Supervisor when fatigue is a consideration. The communication also provided brief guidance on how to handle such situations when reported.
In response to the event from Section II.C, NRC Reportable Events, FFD shared a related Operating Experience - Gift Basket Containing Prohibited Substance Delivered to Site with all site personnel. This e-mail communication stated that alcohol is prohibited on company property and that all personnel need to be cognizant of what they bring on site.
SECTION IV.
Data Assessment and Program Evaluation NMPNS's FFD/Personnel Reliability Program Performance Indicator for this performance data period indicated zero reportable failures. This Performance Data Report shows that the NMPNS employee overall positive test rate for this reporting period was 0.27%. The rate for contractors was 0%. The combined positive test rate for contractors and NMPNS employees was approximately 0.15% for this time period (and 0.71% since the inception of this program). This performance, combined with the FFD Personnel Reliability Program Performance Indicator, demonstrates that NMPNS's FFD Program is working as intended.
