Dear Mr. Fitzpatrick:

SUBJECT:

EMERGENCY

PREPAREDNESS

INSPECTION AT D.

C.

COOK ON NOVEMBER 9-11,

1992

This refers to the routine safety inspection

conducted

by Ms.

H. Simons of

this office and others

on November 9-11,

1992.

The inspection

included

a

review of authorized activities at your D.

C.

Cook facility.

At the

conclusion of the inspection,

the findings were discussed

with those

members

of your staff identified in the enclosed report.

Areas

examined during the inspection

are identified in th'e report.

Within

these

areas,

the inspection consisted of a selective

examination of procedures

and representative

records,

interviews with personnel,

and observation of

activities in progress.

No violations of NRC requirements

were identified during the course of this

inspection.

However, five exercise

weaknesses

were identified during this

inspection which will require corrective action.

These

weaknesses

are

summarized

in the Appendix to this letter.

As required

by

10 CFR 50, Appendix

E (IV.F), any weaknesses

that are identified must

be corrected.

You are

requested

to submit

a written response

within 30 days outlining your

corrective actions for these identified weaknesses.

The exercise

weaknesses

identified warrant

a redemonstration

of your response

capabilities;

however,

since your next annual

emergency

preparedness

exercise is in June of 1993,

we

do not feel it is practical to require

a remedial

exercise

at this time.

However,

due to your failure to demonstrate

the capability to obtain

a post

accident

sample,

we would like to evaluate

a .remedial

demonstration

of this

capability.

Please

contact

Ms. Heather

Simons of my staff at (708)

790-,5799

to establish

a mutually agreeable

date to perform this remedial

demonstration.

In accordance

with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's

regulations,

a copy of

this letter

and the-enclosed

inspection report will be placed in the

NRC

Public Document

Room.
