Dear Hr. Fitzpatrick:

This refers to the routine safety inspection

conducted

by Hessrs.

James

A.

Isom,

David J. Hartland, Christine A. Gainty, Joel

G.

Guzman,

and

Edward

R.

Schweibinz of this office from April 23,

1994,

through June 3,

1994.

The

inspection

included

a review of activities at your Donald

C.

Cook Nuclear

Plant, Units

1 and 2, 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 the report.

Within

these

areas,

the inspection consisted of a selective

examination of procedures

and representative

records,

observations,

and interviews with personnel.

Based

on the results of this inspection,

certain of your activities appeared

to be in violation of NRC requirements,

as specified in the enclosed

Notice of

Violation (Notice).

The violation is of concern

because

you failed to perform

an engineering

evaluation of a motor-operated

valve

(HOV) that was in an over-

thrust condition.

We a'e also concerned

with the lack of progress

made

by

the engineering staff in validating assumptions

used in your

HOV program.

The

need to justify programmatic

assumptions

was identified as

an unresolved

item

during

a previous inspection

(50-315/93006-02(DRS);

50-316/93006-02(DRS))

and

will be

an important aspect to ensure timely GL 89-10 closure.

Additionally, during this inspection,

another activity appeared

to be in

violation of NRC requirements.

The violation was categorized

at Severity

Level

V and is not being cited because

the criteria specified in 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C,Section VII.B(l) were satisfied.
