l ENCLOSURE 1 l

NOTICE OF VIOLATION I Nebraska Public Power District Docket No.: 50-298 Cooper Nuclear Station License No.: DPR 46 During an NRC inspection conducted on March 2-6,1998, one violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:

Paragraph 4.4 of Administrative Procedure 0-NPG-2.3 (NPG Fitness-for-Duty Program), l Revision 0, requires that the supervisor, prior to directing the employee to report to work, shall require the individual to state if they had consumed alcohol or taken prescription drugs within the 5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> prior to being directed to work. Further, if they answered in the j affirmative, and their work was essential, the supervisor will arrange transportation to the site and security would test the individual by administering a breathalyser exam.

Contrary to the above, on five separate occasions, licensee management called in workers to perform back shift work without providing either transportation or requiring security to administer a breathalyser test.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement lil) (298/9810-02).

The NRC has concluded that information regarding the reason for the violation, the corrective actions taken and planned to correct the violation and prevent recurrence, and the date when full compliance will be achieved is already adequately addressed on the docket. However, you are i I
