Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. James A. F. Kelly of this
office, and by Mr. Loren Bush and Mrs. Nancy Ervin of the Office of Inspection
and Enforcement during the period March 11-15, 1985, of activities authorized
by NRC Operating License DPR-46 for Cooper Nuclear Station, and to the
discussion of our findings with Mr. P. V. Thomason and other members of your
staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during the inspection related to the effectiveness of the
physical security program. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of
selective examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with
personnel, and observations by the inspectors. These findings are documented
in the enclosed inspection report.
During this inspection, it was found that certain of your activities were in
violation of NRC requirements.
Consequently, you are required to respond to
these violations, in writing, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.201 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of
Federal Regulations. Your response should be based on the specifics contained
in the Notice of Violation enclosed with this letter.
Also during this inspection, a concern was raised regarding weaknesses in two
vital barriers. You committed to an engineering analysis and corrective
actions as necessary.
In your response please describe the results of your
evaluations and actions. Details of this issue are described in paragraph 11
of the report.
In addition to the need for corrective action regarding these specific open
items identified in the body of the report, we are concerned about the
management controls that permitted portions of the security program to be
unsatisfactory.
Consequently, in your reply, please describe those actions
which you have taken to improve the effectiveness of your management controls.
