SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-261/91-20

This refers to the inspection conducted by L. W. Garner of this office on

At the conclusion of the

identified in the enclosed inspection report.

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report.

Within

these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures

and representative records,

Based on the results of this inspection, one apparent violation was identified

and is being considered for escalated enforcement action in accordance with the

"General

The apparent violation

report may change as a result of further NRC review.

An enforcement conference to discuss this apparent violation has been scheduled
