w it would report to the NRC any intentional act that casts doubt on the integrity of the FFD program and any programmatic failure, degradation, or discovered vulnerability of the FFD program that may permit undetected drug or alcohol use or abuse by individuals who are subject to 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart K. The applicant also shall state that it would submit the annual performance report and event reports, as required to the NRC Operations Center (see 10 CFR 26.417). 11. 10 CFR 26.419, Suitability and Fitness Evaluations – Applicants shall describe how they would develop, implement, and maintain procedures for evaluating whether to assign individuals to construct or direct the construction of safety- and security-related SSCs. These procedures must provide reasonable assurance that the individuals would be fit to 13.7.2-8 Revision 0 – October 2016 safely and competently perform their duties, and would be trustworthy and reliable, as demonstrated by the avoidance of substance abuse. 12. For COL reviews, the NRC staff will review the description of the construction program in accordance with 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart K and proposed implementation milestones for the FFD program as discussed in Table 1. Technical Rationale The following paragraphs contain the technical rationale for applying these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section: 1. 10 CFR Part 26 establishes the requirement that licensees and other applicable entities implement an FFD program to provide reasonable assurance that 10 CFR 26.4(f) personnel are fit for duty, meaning that they can safely and competently perform their duties because they are not under the influence of any substance, legal or illegal. The technical basis for 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart K, is provided in “Fitness for Duty Programs; Final Rule,” pages 16993-16996 and 17154-17163 (73 FR 16966; March 31, 2008). This technical basis discussed in staff’s statement of consideration in the 73 FR 16966
