Within these

by the inspectors.

We are concerned

about the time being required to ensure fully effective

In particular,

we emphasize

the importance of analyses

in which your staff

is self-critical of its

own performance.

Paragraph

3.e of the enclosed

report discusses

a number of concerns

associated

with your

RCA report for

the Harch ll, 1989 rod drift event.

You are requested

to address

these

concerns

in

a revised

RCA and advise

us within 30 days

from the date of

this letter as to the actions

you will take to ensure that future

RCAs

are conducted

in a more self-critical manner.

No violations of NRC requirements

were identified within the scope of this

inspection.

In accordance

with 10 CFR 2.790(a),

a copy of this letter and the enclosure

will be placed in the

NRC Public Document

Room.

The response

requested

above is not subject to the clearance

procedures

of

the Office of Hanagement

and Budget

Act of 1980,

concerning this inspection,

to .discuss

them with you.

Sincerely,
