SUBJECT:
INTEGRATED INSPECTION
REPORT 50-315/316-96002(DRP)
Dear
Mr. Fitzpatrick:
This refers to the routine safety inspection
conducted
by Messrs.
B. Bartlett,
D. Hartland,
C. Orsini,
and
C. Osterholtz of this office from January
17,
1996, through February
26,
1996.
The inspection
included
a review of
activities at your Donald C.
Cook Nuclear Plant,
Units
1 and 2.
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.
This
report represents
an integrated
product of a number of inspections
conducted
during the inspection period.
The summary contained
in the report provides
an
overview of our assessment
of your performance
in the functional
areas
inspected.
Based
on the results of this inspection,
the
NRC has determined that
two'iolations
of NRC requirements
occurred.
The violations are cited in the
enclosed
Notice of Violation (Notice)
and the circumstances
surrounding
them
are described
in detail in the subject inspection report.
The violations are
of concern
because
they represent
a failure to recognize
the requirement to
meet
a regulation for criticality monitoring of new reactor fuel
and the
failure to ensure
a temporary modification did not represent
an unreviewed
safety question prior to installation.
In addition,
we continue to observe
problems regarding
inadequate
safety
evaluations,
improper implementation of Technical Specification action
statements,
foreign material
exclusion,
secondary
plant material condition,
the quality of auxiliary operator
rounds,
procedural
adherence,
and
human
performance.
These
problems
have
been discussed
in previous inspections.
During
a management
meeting
on January
11,
1996, your staff described
the
programs that you had
implemented to improve
human performance
and to resolve
the problems
observed
by the
NRC.
We plan to monitor these activities during
future
NRC inspections.
