SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF VIOLATIONAND NRC INSPECTION REPORT
NO. 50-315/97018(DRP); 50-316/97018(DRP)
Dear Mr. Fitzpatrick:
On November 7, 1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your D. C. Cook 1 and 2 reactor
facilities. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
During the 6-week period covered by this inspection report, the inspectors observed that the
plant was operated in a safe manner, maintenance was generally performed well, and
radiological work practices were properly followed.
Based on the results of this inspection, one violation of NRC requirements was identified. 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 identified two examples of inadequate operations procedures, that were used for
cross-tying safety-related buses, containing Insufficient guidance to ensure that the activities
were properly conducted.
A third example of the violation identified a procedure that contained
incorrect set points and is of concern because the emergency operating procedure for
responding to reactor trips and safety injections contained values different than the plant set-
point document.
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 ensure compliance with regulatory
requirements.
