SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORTS N0. 50-315/96008(DRS); 50-315/96008(DRS)

AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Fitzpatrick:

On September 13, 1996, the NRC completed a security inspection at your D. C.

Cook, Units 1 & 2 reactor facilities. The enclosed report presents the

results of that inspection.

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within

these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures

and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of

activities in progress. The purpose of the inspection effort was to determine

whether activities authorized by the licensee were conducted safely and in ,

accordance with NRC requirements. The summary contained in the report i

provides an overview of our assessment of your performance in the area of

physical security. We noted that your recent Quality Assurance audit

identified a number of minor security related incidents that were performance

related and a lower than normal security force morale. Although the auditor

could not make a direct correlation between morale and performance, we feel

that your current efforts to address the morale issue through improved

security communications are appropriate.

The purposes of the inspection were to initiate the security core inspection

as identified in Inspection Procedure 81700, to review the status of previous

open inspection findings, to review Plant Protection Department participation

in the Condition Report Program, and to review the recent changes in your

security organization.

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that a

violation of NRC requirements occurred. This violation is cited in the

enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances surrounding it

are described in detail in the subject inspection report. The incident was

self-identifying, but we developed additional information that showed your

original condition report to be in error. We noted that the violation had

been corrected and these actions were reviewed during the inspection. t

l Therefore, no response to this violation is requi ed. ()d

Areas examined during this inspection concern a subject matter which is exempt

from disclosure according to Part 73, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations,
