Inspection reports covered by this review (Report Numbers):
Unit 1 50-315/79-23 thru 79-28 50-315/80-01 thru 80-14 Unit 2 50-316/79-20 thru 79-25 50-316/80-01 thru 80-14 Evaluation of noncompliance items:
Operations - During the SALP period 11 inspections were performed in this area; 13 infractions and five deficiencies were identified. These items, though numerically higher than expected were generally not significant from the standpoint of adversely affecting the health and safety _of the public.
However, the NRC is concerned that approximately 50 percent of these items of noncompliance are related to failure to adhere to procedure. The major-ity of the cases occurred early in the report period and improvement was noted in the frequency of mistakes.
In spite of this recent improvement, NRC continues to be concerned regarding the number of personnel errors being made at this plant.
The licensee's performance in this area was rated as below average as com-pared to the performance of other Region III licensees.
Fuel Facilities Material Safeguards - During the SALP period four inspec-tions were performed in this area; one infraction and one deficiency were identified. None of these itens caused a hazard to the public.
In the areas of radiation protection, radwaste management and radioactive material; transportation the licensee's performance was rated as average as compared to the performance of~other Region III licensees.
This comparison does reflect the results of the intensive health physics inspection, which was conducted at the D.C. Cook plant December 8-19, 1981. t

Licensee Event Reports Reviewed (Report Nos.)
Unit 1 79-52 thru 79-67 and 80-01 thru 80-25 Unit 2 79-35 thru 79-54 and 80-01 thru 80-32 Evaluation of LER's:
During this SALP period approximately 14 percent of the LER's were related to personnel errors while the majority of reportable events (577.) were attributed to component failure.
It was noted that there has been a significant reduction in the percentage of personnel errors.
-This was a topic.of the management conferences conducted April 15, 1980 and July 3, 1980 as described in paragraph D.
There is concern _ that certain events =ay have been misclassified. The reporting'and classification of events will be closely screened by the NRC. Another concern is the LER's do not appear to be analyzed adequate-ly to point out-trends in repetitive equipment failures and management
. deficiencies.
Examples of recurring reportable occurrences are: ~ Inoperable fire barriers, Radiation Monitor failures, and Auxiliary Feed Pump failurcs.
