This refers to the safety inspection

conducted

by Messrs.

C.

F. Gill and

W.

W.

Ogg of this office during the period July 16 through August 31,

1987,

of activities at D.'C.

Cook Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, authorized

by

NRC

Operating

Licenses

No.

DPR-58 and

No.

DPR-74 and to the discussion

of our

findings with Mr.

W.

G. Smith, Jr.,

and others following the inspection.

The enclosed

copy of our inspection report identifies areas

examined during

the inspection.

Within these

areas,

the inspection consisted

of a selective

examination of procedures

and representative

records,

observations,

independent

measurements,

and interviews with personnel.

The inspection

included

a review

of findings from an investigation

conducted

on October 22,

1986,

by

representatives

of the Department of Health and Environmental Control,

State of South Carolina, of a waste

shipment from the D.C.

Cook Nuclear Plant,

upon arrival of the shipment at the Barnwell, South Carolina low-level waste

burial site.

The results of the State's

investigations

were conveyed to your

company

by a letter dated October 27,

1986,

from the State of South Carolina.

During this inspection,

certain of your activities appeared

to be in violation

of NRC requirements,

as specified in the enclosed

Notice of Violation.

Item

No.

1 has already

been the subject of enforcement action by the State of South

Carolina.

The review of your response

to the State of South Carolina regarding

Item No.

1 showed that the actions described

in Section

14 of the attached

report

had been

taken to correct the identified violation and to prevent

recurrence.

Consequently,

no reply to this violation is required

and

we have

no further questions

regarding this matter at this time.

If our description

of your corrective actions is incorrect,

please notify us in writing within

30 days of the date of this letter.

A written response

is required for Items

No.

2 through

No.

5.

We are concerned that the Radiation Protection

Improvement

Plan which you

implemented over the last two years

has not adequately

corrected

weaknesses

in your radiation protection program.

We base this concern

on findings of

recent

NRC inspections

as well as recent special

studies

conducted

by you and

your consultants.

These findings appear indicative of management

control

weaknesses

affecting your radiation protection program, particularly staffing

and organizational

weaknesses

and

a pervasive failure to implement effective

corrective actions for identified problems.

In order to address

our concern,

please

plan to meet with Region III management

representatives

within 45 days

of the date of this letter.

At that meeting,

you are requested

to present

your

program, with goals

and scheduled

milestones,

to resolve

the aforementioned

weaknesses.

In accordance

with 10

CFR 2.790 of the Corrmission's regulations,

a copy of

this letter, the enclosures,

and your response

to this letter will be placed

in the

NRC Public Document

Room.

The responses

directed

by this letter and the accompanying

Notice are not

subject to the clearance

procedures

of the Office of Management

and Budget

as required

by the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1980,

PL 96-511.

We will gladly discuss

any questions

you have concerning this inspection.
