          SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-298/98-09

, Dear Mr. Horn:

          From December 27,1998, through February 6,1999, an inspection was conducted at your
          Cooper Nuclear Stat;on reactor facility. The results of this inspection were discussed with your
          staff. The enclosed report presents the scope and results of that inspection.
          During the 6-week period covered by the inspection, conduct of activities at the Cooper Nuclear
          facility was generally characterized by safety-conscious operations and appropriate
          maintenance and engineering. Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has
          determined that three violations of NRC requirements occurred. These violations are being
          treated as noncited violations (NCVs), consistent with Appendix C of the Enforcement Policy.
          These NCVs are described in the subject inspection report. If you contest the violation or
          severity level of these NCVs, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this
          inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
          ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001, with a copy to the Regional
          Administrator, Region IV, and the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear
          Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
          In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its
          enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR),
          Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss them
          with you.
                                                               Sincerely,                                                    l
