This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Messrs. E. R. Swanson

and N. E. DuBry of this office on March 14 through April 30, 1982, of activities

at Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, authorized by NRC Operating

License No. DPR-58 and No. DPR-74 and to the discussion of our findings with

Mr. W. G. Smith, Jr. , and others of your staff during the course of and at the

conclusion of the inspection.

The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during

the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective

examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and

interviews with personnel.

During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in noncom-

pliance with NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Appendix. A

written response is required. Two of these items of noncompliance o .urred

during maintenance efforts to re-establish recirculation flow for the boron

injection tank. We are concerned with the apparent lack of management con-

trols and poor operating practices exhibited during that evolution when a

system important to plant safety was in a degraded mode for an extended

period with the full knowledge of management, and work was allowed to

progress with no procedures developed or safety review performed to assure

that the work efforts would not further degrade the system. Further details

of this matter are documented in paragraph 11 of the attached report.

As a result of previous enforcement conferences held in 1981, the American

Electric Power Service Corporation established a program to improve manage-

ment control of plant operations including steps to improve control of equip-

ment being taken out of service and being returned to service. Apparently

the corrective measures you have taken as a result of these conferences has

not been fully effective. This and other matters concerning the D. C. Cook

facility will be discussed with you during future management meetings. You

will be contacted later to establish a date for the next meeting.
