OF MANAGEMENT ACTIONS FOR BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT In the pre-access test category, eleven contract employees (CEs) tested positive. Ten of the eleven CEs testing positive were denied access, removed from site, returned to the contract company, and restricted from TVA Nuclear (TVAN) work for three years. One of the eleven CEs was also detected attempting to subvert the Fitness for Duty testing process by substitution.
OF MANAGEMENT ACTIONS FOR BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT In the pre-access test category, eleven contract employees (CEs) tested positive.
This CE presented a low temperature specimen that tested negative and an observed specimen that tested positive.     This CE was denied access, removed from site, returned to the contract company, and permanently restricted from TVAN work. Ten CEs requested that split-specimen testing be performed. The split-specimen tests reconfirmed the positive test results. One CE requested that a confirmatory blood alcohol test be performed. The blood alcohol test reconfirmed the positive test results.
Ten of the eleven CEs testing positive were denied access, removed from site, returned to the contract company, and restricted from TVA Nuclear (TVAN) work for three years.
Also in pre-access test category, one CE refused to provide a required observed specimen after providing a low volume specimen, then left the collection facility without permission.     This CE was denied access, removed from site, returned to the contract company, and permanently restricted from TVAN work.
One of the eleven CEs was also detected attempting to subvert the Fitness for Duty testing process by substitution.
In the for-cause (observed behavior) test category, one CE tested positive. The CE's unescorted access was revoked. The CE was removed from site, returned to the contract company, and restricted from TVAN work for three years. The CE requested that a confirmatory blood alcohol test be performed.     The blood alcohol test reconfirmed the positive test results. A review of the CE's work did not identify any deficiencies.
This CE presented a low temperature specimen that tested negative and an observed specimen that tested positive.
In the random test category, three licensee employees (LEs) and six CEs tested positive. The LEs' and CEs' unescorted access was revoked. The LEs and CEs were removed from site. The LEs were suspended from work for a minimum of 14 days and referred to the Employee Assistance Program. One LE returned to work during this reporting period, had access reinstated, and was placed in the follow-up alcohol and drug testing program. The CEs were returned to the contract company. Four CEs were restricted from TVAN work for three years. Two CEs were permanently restricted from TVAN work because of previous positive test results. Two LEs and five CEs requested that split-specimen testing be performed.     The split-specimen tests reconfirmed the positive test results.       One CE requested an appeal. The appeal upheld the positive test results. Reviews of the LEs' and CEs' work did not identify any deficiencies.
This CE was denied access, removed from site, returned to the contract company, and permanently restricted from TVAN work.

==SUMMARY==
==SUMMARY==
OF MANAGEMENT ACTIONS FOR WATTS BAR NUCLEAR PLANT In the pre-access test category, six CEs tested positive. The CEs were denied access, removed from site, returned to the contract company, and restricted from TVA Nuclear (TVAN) work for three years. One CE was badged as a reinstatement pending drug test results, and the unescorted access was revoked for this CE. One CE tested positive for two substances. Five CEs requested that split-specimen testing be performed. The split-specimen tests reconfirmed the positive test results. Two CEs requested an appeal. The appeals upheld the positive test results. A review of work for the CE for whom unescorted access was revoked did not identify any deficiencies.
