Gentlemen:

This refers to the inspection conducted by R.

W. Wright of this office on June

11-

15, 1979, of activities authorized by NRC Construction Permit No. CPPR-114 for the

St. Lucie Unit 2 facility, and to the discussion of our findings held with B. J.

Escue at the conclusion of the inspection.

This also refers to the telephone

conversations

between

C. E. Murphy of this office and R. E. Uhrig of your office

on July 5 and 6, 1979.

Areas

examined

during the inspection

and

our findings

are

discussed

in the

enclosed

inspection

report.

Within these

areas,

the inspection

consisted

of

selective 'examinations of procedures

and representative

records,

interviews with

personnel,

and observations

by the inspector.

We have

examined

actions

you have

taken with regard to previously identified

enforcement matters.

These are discussed in the enclosed inspection report.

During the inspection, it was

found that certain activities under your license

appear

to be in noncompliance

with NRC requirements.

This item and references

to pertinent

requirements

are listed in the Notice of Violation enclosed

here-

with as

Appendix A.

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, Code of Federal

Regulations.

Section 2.201 requires

you to submit to this office, within 20

days of your receipt of this notice,

a written statement

or explanation in reply

including:

(1) corrective

steps

which have

been

taken

by you and the results

achieved;

(2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further noncompliance;

and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.

The item of noncompliance in Appendix A was originally identified in our letter

dated February

21,

1979.

Your response letter dated

March 12,

1979, stated that

all necessary

corrective actions

would be accomplished

by March 31, 1979.

During

this inspection, it was determined that the specific example identified in Appendix

A had not been corrected.

We are also concerned that your internal audit of drawings

revealed similar problems in that approximately 40$ of the drawings checked did not

agree with the control cards

and prompt corrective actions

had not been implemented.

In a supplemental

response

dated

June

28; 1979; following discussions

with our

inspector

on June

15,

1979,

you described

additional corrective actions

to be

completed by September

24, 1979.

Your letter did not describe

how revisions would

be incorporated in plant construction prior to completion of your corrective action.

Therefore, in your response

please

describe

how you plan to control uncorrected

drawings prior to September

24.

"2-

In addition to the

need for corrective action regarding this specific item of

noncompliance,

we are

concerned

about

the

implementation

of your management

control systems that failed to correct the item listed in Appendix A and similar

items identified by your internal audits.

Consequently,

in your reply,

you

should

describe

in particular

those actions

taken or planned

to improve the

effectiveness

of your management

control systems.

In the future,

you should

consider-any

noncompliance,

including those identified by your internal

con-

trols,

as

a possible

indication of more extensive

problems

when formulating

corrective actions

and in responding to apparent

items of noncompliance.

In accordance

with Section 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title

10,

Code of Federal Regulations,

a copy of this letter and the enclosed

inspec-

tion report will be placed in the

NRC's Public Document

Room. If this report

contains

any information that you (or your contractor)

believe to be proprie-

tary, it is necessary

that you make

a written application within 20 days to this

office to withhold such information from public disclosure.

Any such appli-

cation must include

a full statement

of the reasons

on the basis of which it is

claimed that

the

information is proprietary,

and

should

be prepared

so that

proprietary information identified in the application is contained in a separate

part of the

document.

If we

do not hear

from you in this regard within the

specified period, the report will be placed in the Public Document Room.

Should you have

any questions

concerning this letter,

we will be glad to discuss

them with you.

Sincerely,

Y.e
