SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 07200072/2011001(DNMS);

05000315/2011010(DNMS); 05000316/2011010(DNMS) - D.C. COOK NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2

Dear Mr. Weber:

On July 30, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its inspection of the dry cask storage pad design at the D.C. Cook Nuclear Plant. The enclosed report presents the inspection findings which were discussed on July 30, 2012, with Mr. M. Carlson and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined the dry fuel storage pad design, and connecting pathways, as it relates to the safe storage of dry fuel storage casks and compliance with the Commissions rules, regulations, and the conditions of your license. Specific areas examined during the inspection are identified in the enclosed report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selected examinations of procedures and representative records, and interviews with personnel.

The inspection was conducted per NRC Inspection Manual 2690, Inspection Program for Dry Storage of Spent Reactor Fuel at Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations and Guidance for Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 71 Transportation Packages, and used portions of Inspection Procedure (IP) 60853 and IP 60856.

Based on the results of this inspection, the inspectors indentified one Severity Level IV violation of NRC requirements. However, because the violation was of very low safety significance, and was entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating the issue as a non-cited violation (NCV) in accordance with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.

If you contest the subject or severity of the NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission - Region III, 2443 Warrenville Road, Suite 210, Lisle, IL 60532-4352; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the Resident Inspector Office at the D.C. Cook Nuclear Plant. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and the enclosed report will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS),

accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

Sincerely,

/RA Wayne J. Slawinski Acting for/
