Gentlemen:

This refers to the routine safety inspection

conducted by Messrs.

E.

R.

Swanson

and N. E. DuBry of this office on August

1 through September

30,

1981, 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. Shaller

and others of your staff during the course of 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,

and

interviews with personnel.

During this inspection,

certain of your activities appeared

to be in non-

compliance with NRC requirements,

as specified in enclosed

Appendix A.

A written response,

submitted under oath or affirmation, is required.

Further,

we are concerned

about the continuing pattern of late and incom-

plete responses

to NRC correspondence

and about another

example of misleading

or incorrect -information being provided to the

NRC.

These

concerns

are

documented in further detail in paragraphs

2.o, 2.p and

8 of the attached

report,

and they were also discussed

during

a meeting held at your Columbus,

Ohio offices on November 2,

1981, which was attended

by me and others of

this office and you and others of your company for the purpose of discussing

your actions in response

to matters

discussed

during the Enforcement

Con-

ference held in our office on August 4,

1981.

In addition to your response

to the items of noncompliance,

please

describe

those actions

you have taken

or plan to take in regard to these matters.

This office considered

escalated

enforcement action for the matter involving

misleading or incorrect information being provided to the

NRC.

However,

enforcement action is pending for similar matters

which were identified prior to this inspection, this action was not taken.

identifies the document'r pa'rt sought'o

be withheld,

and which contains

a

which a'e the bases for the claim that the

information should be withheld from public disclosure.

porated
