Dear Mr. Weber:
On October 30, 2015, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a Baseline Emergency Preparedness Biennial Exercise inspection at your Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2. The enclosed report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on March 4, 2011, with you and other members of your staff.
This inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.
Based on the results of this inspection, no NRC-identified and no self-revealed findings of very low safety significance were identified.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS)
component of the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).
ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2; Baseline Emergency Preparedness Biennial Exercise Inspection This report covers a 1-week period of announced baseline inspection by four regional inspectors. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (e.g., Green, White,
Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process (SDP). Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green, or be assigned a severity level after U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) management review The NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor Oversight Process, Revision 5, dated February 2014.

REACTOR SAFETY
Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness
1EP1 Exercise Evaluation
Main article: IP 71114.01
.1 Exercise Evaluation
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the October 27, 2015, biennial emergency preparedness exercises objectives and scenario to ensure that the exercise would acceptably test major elements of the licensees emergency plan, and to verify that the exercises simulated problems provided an acceptable framework to support demonstration of the licensees capability to implement its plan. The inspectors also reviewed records of other drills and exercises conducted in 2013 and 2014, to verify that those drills scenarios were sufficiently different from the scenario used in the October 27, 2015, exercise.
The inspectors evaluated the licensees exercise performance, focusing on the risk-significant activities of emergency classification, notification, and protective action decision making, implementation of accident mitigation strategies, and correction of past exercise weaknesses in the following emergency response facilities:
- Control Room Simulator (CRS);
- Operations Support Center (OSC); and
- Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).
The inspectors also assessed the licensees recognition of abnormal plant conditions, transfer of responsibilities between facilities, internal communications, interfaces with offsite officials, readiness of emergency facilities and related equipment, and overall implementation of the licensees emergency plan.
The inspectors attended post-exercise critiques in the CRS, TSC, OSC, and EOF to evaluate the licensees initial self-assessment of its exercise performance. The inspectors later met with the licensees lead exercise evaluators and managers to obtain the licensees findings and assessments of its exercise participants performances. These self-assessments were then compared with the inspectors independent observations and assessments to assess the licensees ability to adequately critique its exercise performance. Documents reviewed are listed in the to this report.
This exercise evaluation inspection constituted one sample as defined in Inspection Procedure (IP) 71114.01-06.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
1EP8 Exercise Evaluation - Scenario Review
Main article: IP 71114.08
a. Inspection Scope
Prior to the inspection activity onsite, the inspectors conducted an in-office review of the exercise objectives and scenarios submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission using IP 71114.08, Exercise Evaluation - Scenario Review, to determine if the exercise would test major elements of the Emergency Plan as required by Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50.47(b)(14). Documents reviewed are listed in the to this report.
This review of the exercise objectives and scenario constituted one inspection sample as defined in IP 71114.08.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.

OTHER ACTIVITIES
Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness
4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification
.1 Drill/Exercise Performance
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the Drill/Exercise Performance Indicator (PI) for the period from the second quarter 2014 through third quarter 2015.
To determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods, PI definitions and guidance contained in the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Document 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, Revision 6, were used.
The inspectors reviewed the licensees records associated with the PI to verify that the licensee accurately reported the indicator in accordance with relevant procedures and the NEI guidance. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed licensee records and processes including procedural guidance on assessing opportunities for the PI; assessments of PI opportunities during pre-designated control room simulator training sessions, and performance during other drills. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
This inspection constituted one drill/exercise performance sample as defined in IP 71151-05.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.2 Emergency Response Organization Drill Participation
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) Drill Participation PI for the period from the second quarter 2014 through third quarter 2015. To determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods, PI definitions and guidance contained in the NEI Document 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, Revision 6, were used.
The inspectors reviewed the licensees records associated with the PI to verify that the licensee accurately reported the indicator in accordance with relevant procedures and the NEI guidance. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed licensee records and processes including procedural guidance on assessing opportunities for the PI; performance during the 2014 and 2015 exercises and drills; and revisions of the roster of personnel assigned to key emergency response organization positions. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
This inspection constituted one ERO drill participation sample as defined in IP 71151-05.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.3 Alert and Notification System
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors sampled licensee submittals for the Alert and Notification System (ANS)
PI for the period from the second quarter 2014 through third quarter 2015. To determine the accuracy of the PI data reported during those periods, PI definitions and guidance contained in the NEI Document 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, Revision 6, were used. The inspectors reviewed the licensees records associated with the PI to verify that the licensee accurately reported the indicator in accordance with relevant procedures and the NEI guidance. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed licensee records and processes including procedural guidance on assessing opportunities for the PI and results of periodic scheduled ANS operability tests.
Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to this report.
This inspection constituted one ANS sample as defined in IP 71151-05.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
4OA6 Management Meetings
.1 Exit Meeting Summary
On October 30, 2015, the inspectors presented the biennial exercise inspection results to you and other members of the licensee staff. The licensee acknowledged the issues presented. The inspectors confirmed that none of the potential report input discussed was considered proprietary.
