continued problems with management oversight of activities at the Keowee Hydro

specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response. In your

response, you should documen't the specific actions and any additional actions

you plan to prevent recurrence. After reviewing your response to this Notice,

including your proposed corrective actions and the results of future

inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is

necessary to ensure compliance with the NRC regulatory requirements.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.970 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice", a copy of

this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
