Dear Mr. Keppler:
This letter is in response to Mr. N. J. Chrissotimos'etter dated July 29, 1985, which forwarded the subject inspection report of the special safety inspection conducted by your staff at the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant during the period May 21, 1985 through June 24, 1985.
The Notice of Violation attached to Mr. Chrissotimos'etter identified one violation.
The response to this violation is addressed in the attachment to this letter.

NRC ITEM "10 CFR 50, Appendix B Criterion III 'Design Control'equires design
- changes, including field changes, be subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design.
This requirement is implemented, in part, at Paragraph 10.4.3 of licensee procedure PMI-5040
'Design Change Control Program,'hich states that if a design change cannot be installed within the tolerance provided, work must stop pending specified reviews and approvals.
"Contrary to the above, during the performance of a design change under RFC 01-2764 the licensee implemented field changes without the required reviews and approvals when tie-rods were placed differently from that shown on the only applicable drawing; further, when the tolerance of drawing 12-3434A-4 for one-half inch grout between baseplate and floor could not be met, work was not stopped, nor were the specified reviews and approvals performed.
"This is a Level IV violation (Supplement 1)."
RESPONSE
Corrective Actions Taken and Results Achieved The battery tie rod placement was corrected immediately in accordance with the approved drawing.
The deviation from the grout tolerance was approved by the AEPSC design group, and no changes were required.
Walkdowns performed by AEPSC, Plant and Vendor representatives identified additional problems that confirmed that the batteries had not been installed to the supplied vendor drawings.
The problems found were corrected and a final walkdown was performed; no additional problems were identified.
Corrective Action To Be Taken To Avoid Further Violation To prevent recurrence of the problems identified, the following actions are being taken:
'dditional training will be given to appropriate personnel to ensure that future design changes are installed in accordance with approved design drawings.
This training will be completed by December 1,
1985.
2.
The present method of scoping design changes will be revised to identify those instances in which existing installation procedures may not adequately direct the work to be performed, and to assure that adequate guidance and QC involvement is provided.
This will be accomplished through revisions to existing installation procedures, generation of unique procedures, or supplements to the drawings as appropriate for each specific design change.
In addition, punch lists are being developed to assure that items such as QA and QC reports, Plant
Attachment to AEP:NRC:0945 page 2
Deviation Reports and other constraints are monitored and reviewed prior to declaring a modified system operable.
These revisions will be completed by December 1,
1985.
Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved Full compliance was achieved on July 27, 1985 when all identified problems were corrected.
It was also determined by June 21, 1985 that the as built condition of the battery rack installation was seismically adequate and no change to the grouting was necessary.
