FITNESS FOR DUTY - DISCOVERY OF PARAPHERNALIA THAT COULD BE USED TO FALSIFY URINE TEST

On 4/18/2018, at approximately 0300 EDT, a contract cleaning employee notified her supervisor that she had found an oven mitt and a bottle containing a liquid that was possibly urine. The bottle had a temperature strip and heating element attached to it. These items were found in the trash in a bathroom in the training center located near the bathroom used for Fitness-for-Duty testing. The supervisor notified Security. Security responded and took possession of the objects.

The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
