SUBJECT:
NRC1NSPECTION REPORTS:50-315/97003(DRS);
50%16/97003(DRS) AND
Dear Mr. Fitzpatrick;t~.
On March 14, 1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your D. C. Cook Units
1 and 2
reactor facilities. On March 31, 1997, a telephone exit was conducted to inform you that
an unresolved item discussed
in the exit conducted
on March 14, 1997, would become a
potential violation. The enclosed report presents the. results of the inspection.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that two violations 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 first example involves the failure to correctly. specify procedures which are to
be used "in hand".
The NRC continues to be concerned that procedures were not being
~
rigorously implemented.
The second violation involves the failure to conduct a comprehensive
requalification annual
operating test for licensed operators.
We are concerned that licensed operators were
returned to licensed activities without meeting the requirements of 10 CFR Part 55.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the
enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
The NRC will use your response,
in part,
to determine whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with
regulatory requirements.
