SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-298/96-19 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Dear Mr. Horn:
On September 7,1996, the NRC completed an inspection at your Cooper Nuclear Station
fecility. The enclosed repcet presents the results of that inspection.
During the 6-week period covered by this inspection period, your conduct of activities at
the Cooper Nuclear Facilities was generally sound. We are concerned, however, about two
violations of NRC requirements involving four instances where safety-related equipment
was placed in a condition which was not properly evaluated and, consequently, not fully
understood. The first violation involved two examples of improper installation of
monitoring devices, one on the high pressure coolant injection system stop valve, the other
on an emergency diesel generator, while they were in an operable status. The second
violation involved the use of jumpers during maintenance without a proper evaluation and
the installation of an unqualified relay and housing without a thorough understanding of the
effect on operability.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter,
its enclosure (s), and your resoonse will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
Sincerely,
'
