NOTICE OF VIOLATION Indiana Michigan Power Company Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant Docket No. 50-315; 50-316 License No. DPR-58; DPR-74 During an NRC inspection conducted from October 26 through December 2, 1998, one violation of NRC requirements was identified.

In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:

Unit 1 Technical Specification 4.1.2.1.b, Boration Systems Flow Paths - Shutdown, requires that, "Atleast once per 31 days by verifying that each valve (manual, power operated or automatic) in the boration flow path that is not locked, sealed or otherwise secured in position, is in its correct position."

Technical Specification 4.1.2.1.b was implemented by performance of 01-Operations Head Procedure 0430.STP [surveillance test procedure].002V, "Boration Valve Position Verification and Testing," Revision 6, Lineup Sheet No. 2, "Modes 5 and 6 Boron Injection Flowpath Verification."

Contrary to the above, on October 27, 1998, the inspectors identified that valve 1-CS-294, a manual valve in the boration flowpath that is not locked sealed or otherwise secured in position, was not verified in its correct position every 31 days.

Valve 1-CS-294 was not contained in the valve lineup, 01-Operations Head Procedure 4030.STP.002V Lineup Sheet 2, "Modes 5 and 6 Boron Injection Flowpath Verification," that was utilized to verify correct position for valves in the boration flow path.
