Gentlemen:
This refers to the team inspection conducted by Messrs. N. Terc, K. Kennedy,
and R. Bennett of this office during the period July 23-27, 1990, of activities
authorized by NRC Operating License DPR-46 for Cooper Nuclear Station, and to
the discussion of our findings with you and other representatives of the
Nebraska Public Power District at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during the inspection included the implementation of the
emergency plan and procedures during the annual emergency response exercise.
Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examination of
procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and
observations by the inspection team. The inspection findings are documented in
the enclosed inspection report.
Within the scope of the inspection, no violations or deviations were
identified.
Your staff's overall performance during the 1990 exercise was very good.
Improvements from previous exercises were noted.
Your staff's response during
i
the course of the exercise was adequate to protect the health and safety of the
i
public.
'
The inspection identified two exercise weaknesses in your emergency
preparedness program. One weakness pertains to the duties and responsibilities
of the control room director (CRD) who, in addition to his many other duties,
was assigned to maintain continuous accountability after the evacuation of
unessential personnel from the protected area. The other weakness pertains to
a delay in using the emergency diesel generator after it was available.
This
diesel was a critical factor necessary for mitigating the hypothetical
.'
accident.
Exercise weaknesses, according to 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E.IV.F.5,
are inspection findings that need to be corrected by the licensee. You are
requested to provide this office with a description of your corrective measures
and your schedule for completing these actions within 30 days after receipt of
this letter.
