SUBJECT:
D. C. COOK INSPECTION REPORT 50-315/98018(DRP); 50-316/98018(DRP)
Dear Mr. Powers:
On October 15, 1998, the NRC completed an inspection at your D. C. Cook Units 1 and 2
reactor facilities. The inspection was an examination of activities conducted under your license
as they relate to compliance with the Commission rules and regulations and with the conditions
of your license.
Areas reviewed included Operations, Maintenance,
Engineering, and Plant
Support.
Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures
'nd representative
records, interviews with personnel, and observations of activities in
progress.
The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
Overall, the plant was operated in a safe manner.
A negative trend of human performance
errors was promptly identified by your staff. None of the human performance errors affected
safe operation and prompt action was initiated to reverse the trend. Additionally, plant
'anagement
demonstrated
conservative decision making by reducing reactor coolant system
pressure during extended operation with the Unit 1 west centrifugal charging pump out of
service.
Continuing problems with the quality of engineering operability deterniinations and declarations
demonstrated the need for additional improvement;
Also, several events during this inspection
period highlighted that the material condition of the plant continued to challenge the operators.
The loss of reserve electrical feed, initiated by an aged underground cable, affected both units
and resulted in the automatic start of emergency diesel generators.
Continued attention to the
followthrough and correction of identified deficiencies is warranted.
No violations or deviations of NRC requirements were identified.
