Discussion:
The NRC intends to issue an information notice describing a recent
attempt by a nuclear power plant employee to adulterate his urine sample
so that recent drug use would not be detected. The substance used was
commercially available but was detected when the licensee compared
results of the screening and confirmatory tests. The IN reminds
addressees of the regulatory responsibility to be aware of such attempts.
