SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORTS 50-315/97007(DRS); 50-316/97007(DRS) AND

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Fitzpatrh'cr

On March 28,1997, 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 license were

conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements. Your performance in the area

,

of physical security was good.

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. We noted that the violation had been corrected and these actions were reviewed

during the inspection. Therefore, no response to this violation is required. Consideration

was given to dispositioning the item as a Non-Cited Violation since it appeared to meet the

criteria of Section Vll.B.1 of the General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC

Enforcement Actions, NUREG-1600. However, a 10 CFR 2.201 Notice of Violation is

being issued because of the lack of management oversight, the fact that ten supervisors

were not trained in behavioral observation duties, and twelve employees were not in a

continual behavior observation program for almost a year.
