DHS p12 81987 Docket No. 50-315 Docket No. 50-316 American Electric Power Service Corporation Indiana and Michigan Electric Company ATTN: Mr. John E. Dolan Vice Chairman Engineering and Construction 1 Riverside Plaza Columbus, OH 43216 Gentlemen:

This letter refers to a discussion between Mr. F. Arsenault, Senior Security Specialist of your Nuclear Security Staff at the D. C. Cook Plant and Mr. T. J. Madeda of my Safeguards Staff on December 24, 1986, regarding the status of the D. C. Cook Security Performance Improvement Program (PIP).

On April 21, 1986, in response to our previous requests, you submitted a program (PIP) to augment specific corrective actions identified in our SALP 5 Board Report, violations and other findings identified in NRC Inspection Reports (50-315/86012 and 50-316/86012), and a Management Meeting held -in Region III on February 20, 1986. The PIP provided a broad approach to improving the long-term effectiveness of the security program at the D. C. Cook site. The major elements of the plan were intended to be completed by December 31, 1986.

NRC inspection efforts since the submittal of your PIP have shown satisfactory licensee effort both at the senior management level and security organization level to adequately implement and document conmitments identified in your PIP. However, recent inspection efforts (50-315/86032; 50-316/86032 and 50-315/86039;50-316/86039) continue to identify weaknesses in the performance of your site security program, specifically in the area of access controls.

While none of these weaknesses were of a major security significance, they indicate an adverse trend that is of concern to us.

In view of our findings, we request that you continue several sections of your PIP until June 30, 1987. These areas are identified in the attached enclosure.

e6g You are requested to respond within 30 days of your receipt of this letter with your position and program to irrplement those portions of the PIP identified in the enclosure.
