This refers to the routine inspection

of our findings held by Messrs.

and S.

with Mr. T.
Roman of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas
examined during this inspection
are described
in the Office of Inspection
and Enforcement Inspection
Report which is enclosed with this letter.
Within
these
areas,
the inspection consisted of selective
examinations of procedures
and representative
records,
interviews with personnel,
and observations
by the
inspector.
Based
on the results of this inspection, it appears
that certain of your activi-
ties were not conducted in full compliance with
NRC requirements,
as set forth,
in the Notice of Violation, enclosed
herewith
as Appendix A.
These
items of
noncompliance
have
been categorized
into the levels
as described
in our corre-
spondence
to you dated
December
31,
1974.
This notice is sent to you pursuant
to the provisions of Section
2.201 of the
NRC's "Rules of Practice," Part 2,
Title 10,

2.201 requires
you to submit to
this office, within twenty (20} days of your receipt of this notice,

been
taken
by you and the results
achieved;
(2) corrective steps
which will be
taken to avoid further items of noncompliance;
and (3) the date
when full com-
pliance will be achieved.
Item A in the Notice of Violation enclosed with this letter was identified
during
a previous inspection of your licensed activities
on February 4-8,
1980
and was documented in the enclosure
to our letter dated
March 5,
1980.
Your
~ letter to this office dated
March 28, l980 stated that the cores in all locks
used to lock valves will be changed
so that only a limited number of plant per-
sonnel will have keys.

items of noncompliance
are given additional weight in
the consideration
and selection of appropriate
enforcement action.
Therefore,'n,

to this letter, you should give particular attention to those,
actions
taken or planned to ensure that identified items of noncompliance will
be completely corrected
and will not recur.
In accordance

Code of Federal
Regulations,
a copy of this letter and the enclosures
will be placed in the
NRC's Public Document

information,that you (or your contractor)
believe to be proprietary, it is
