ATTACHMENT TO AEP:NRC:0511 In accordance with the requirements of the notice subject of this response we provide the following information:

a)

The reason for the items of noncompliance is that dur ing the period of time that this inspection was conducted we were implementing design changes in the Cook Plant which required pulling cables through penetration fire seals in the cable vault.

It was during the implementation of these changes that the two of them were made non-functional thereby exceeding the limiting condition of operation of Technical Specification 3/4.7.10.

l~h b)

The corrective steps taken were to immediately repair the penetration fire seals by either the plant approved temporary repair mechanism or repaired permanently utilizing the plant approved repair procedure.

They were subsequently inspected and accepted on December 4,

1980, by the Plant gC Department..

c)

To preclude further items of non-compliance, a memo from the Cook Plant Construction Department was trans-mitted on December 8, 1980 to all contractors reiterating the Donald C.

Cook Nuclear Plant's requirements on pene-tration fire seals.

In addition Plant Manager Instruction PMI-2270, entitled "Fire Protection and Safety Equipment",

was revised by a temporary change sheet which amplifies the requirements and the responsibilities for those people who have the potential for breaching or coming across a fire seal within the plant that has been breached.

Full compliance was achieved by the issuance of these documents.
