SUBJECT: ERRATA FOR COOPER NUCLEAR STATION - NRC INTEGRATED

INSPECTION REPORT 05000298/2005002

Dear Mr. Edington:

Please remove enclosure page 29 and attachment page A-2 from NRC Integrated Inspection

Report 05000298/2005002 and replace with the pages enclosed with this letter. The purpose of

the change is to correct the tracking number of the noncited violation (NCV) for Inadequate

Instructions for Restoration of the Service Water System Following Maintenance, documented

in Section 4OA5 of the inspection report.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its

enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public

Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs

document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss them

with you.

Sincerely,

NRC transmitted its final conclusion regarding the safety significance of this event. The

letter stated that the finding is of very low safety significance (Green) and that this

apparent violation is being treated as a noncited violation, consistent with Section VI.A

of the Enforcement Policy (NCV 05000298/2005002-10: Inadequate Instructions for

Restoration of the Service Water System Following Maintenance). This apparent

violation is closed.

4OA6 Meetings, Including Exit

On January 28, 2005, the inspectors presented the inspection results regarding access

to radiologic significant areas and inservice inspection to R. Edington, Vice President,

and other members of his staff who acknowledged the findings.

On April 14, 2005, the inspectors presented the results of the resident inspector

activities to Mr. S. Minahan and other members of his staff who acknowledged the

findings.

The inspectors confirmed that proprietary information was not provided or examined

during the inspection.

40A7 Licensee-Identified Violations

The following violation of very low significance (Green) was identified by the licensee

and is a violation of NRC requirements which meet the criteria of Section VI of the

NRC Enforcement Policy, NUREG-1600, for being dispositioned as an NCV.

valves in the heating and ventilation system did not have position limit switches

and associated equipment that could support environmental qualification under

10 CFR 50.49 requirements. Based upon a new radiation analysis, it was

determined that these limit switches could be exposed to a more harsh

environment than previously considered. The licensee determined the switches

would need to be replaced to comply with 10 CFR 50.49 requirements. This NCV

was considered to have very low safety significance because the position limit

switches do not adversely affect the safety function of the valves.

AREA. However, on December 11, 2004, a radiation protection technician found

an unposted area outside the RHR B heat exchanger room with general area dose

rates of 7 millirem per hour. This same dose rate had been previously identified

on November 29, 2004, but the radiation protection staff did not post the area as

required. Consequently, the radiation area outside the RHR B heat exchanger

room remained unposted for 11 days. Using the Occupational Radiation Safety

Significance Determination Process, the inspector determined that the finding was

of very low safety significance because it was not an ALARA finding, there was no
