The purposes of this inspection were to f61.lowup on previously identified
items relating to non-licensed operator training and engineering support of
modificaticins, and to review the results of your Containment Integrated Leak
Rate Test ana local penet~ation leak rate testing.
Within these areas, the
inspection consisted-of a selective examination of procedures and representative
records", __ observations, and interviews with personnel, as* well as independent
computation of your leakage. results.
The results of this inspection indicate t~~t you ~ave resolved the concerns
.that we had in _the areas of non-licensed training and handling of* modifications.
Your control of temporary alterations appears to.be a strength, in that they
are few in number *and of short duration.

In regard to your leak rate program, the results of your as-fo~nd integrated
test exceeded the limits of Appendix J.
Therefore you are required to submit,
for Commission a~proval, the schedule of your next integrated test.

of NRC requirements as specified in the entlosed Notice.

failure to test certain penetrations and failure to perform local leak tests
