controls during shot peening operations.

specified in the enclosed

Notice when preparing your response.

-In your

response,

you should document the specific actions taken for each violation

and any additional actions

you plan to prevent recurrence.

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 e'nsure

compliance with NRC regulatory

requirements.

with 10 CFR 2.790(a) of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"

a copy of

this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the
