SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-298/99-09
Dear Mr. Swailes:
On August 26,1999, the NRC completed an inspection at the Cooper Nuclear Station reactor
facility. The results of the inspection were discussed with Mr. R. A. Sessoms and other
members of your staff at the completion of the inspection. The enclosed report presents the
results of this inspection.
This inspection was an examination of activities conducted under your license as they relate to
radiation safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the
conditions of your license. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selected '
l
examination of procedures and representative records, observations of activities, and interviews
with personnel. Specifically, this inspection focused on the implementation of your radioactive
material processing and shipping program and the occupational radiation safety performance
indicator.
l
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC identified one issue of low risk significance that
has been entered into your corrective action program and is discussed in the summary of
findings and in the body of the attached inspection report. The issue was determined to involve
a violation of NRC requirements, but because of its low risk significance, the violation is not
cited. If you contest this noncited violation, 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 copies to the
Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region IV,611 Ryan Plaza
i
Drive, Suite 400, Arlington, Texas 76011, the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident
l
Inspector at the Cooper Nuclear Station facility.
I
l
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its
enclosure (s), and your response, if requested, will be placed in the NRC Public Document
i
Room (PDR).
