(2) Results of Inspection

'

The inspector's review indicated that the program contained all I the necessary elements for control of tests and experiments.

i However, the inspector was concerned because the program appeared j cumbersome: it employed nine procedures to describe the activities

!

of the NRAG, FRG, technical staff, licensing staff, and six plant

' departments relative to tests and experiments. Pending further

review of program implementation, this matter is considered open

,

(461/85035-02).

No violations or daviations were identifie :
