SUBJECT:

D. C. COOK INSPECTION REPORT 50-315/99017(DRP); 50-316/99017(DRP)

AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Powers:

This refers to the inspection conducted on July 17 through August 25, 1999, at the D. C. Cook

Units 1 and 2 reactor facilmes. The inspection was an examination of activities conducted

under your license as they relate to compliance with the Commission rules and regulations and

with the conditions of your license. Areas reviewed Included Operations, Maintenance,

Engineering, and Plant Support Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective

examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and

observations of activmes in progress,

The enclosed mport presents the results of that

.

inspection.

We noted that a complex evolution, the dual unit core off-load, was well planned and executed.

We also noted that during the course ofthe defueling evolutions when problems were IdentiTied

they were appropriately corrected, and the core off-loads were completed safely.

Based on the results ofthis Inspection, the NRC has determined that a violation of NRC

requirements occurred.

The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and

the circumstances surrounding it are described in detail in the subject inspection report. The

violation is of concern because the inspectors identmed a failure to restore compliance for a

previously IdentiTied violation of NRC requirements,

That violation involved failure to perform a

required 10 CFR 50.59 safety evaluation.

You are required to respond to this letter and should followthe instructions specified in the

enclosed Notice when preparing your response.

The NRC willuse your response,

in part, to

determine whether further enforcement action is necessary to ens'ure compliance with

regulatory requirements.
