Attention:

Gentlemen:

SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION

This letter refers to the inspection

conducted

by Mr.

K. Prendergast

of this

office on January

29 - February 2, 1990, of activities authorized

by

NRC

License

Nos.

NPF-41,

NPF-51,

and NPF-74,

and to the discussion

of our findings

by Mr. Prendergast

with members of your staff at the conclusion of the

inspection.

Areas

examined during this inspection are described

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.

Based

on the results of this inspection, it appears

that one of your

activities

was not conducted

in full compliance with NRC regulations,

as set

forth in the enclosed

Notice of Violation enclosed

herewith

as Appendix A.

Your response

to this notice is to be submitted in accordance

with the

provisions of 10 CFR 2.201

as stated

in Appendix A, Notice of Violation.

The basic

concern identified in this report is the apparent

improper emergency

classification of the

December

30,

1989, transformer fire.

More importantly,

it seems that your staff's investigation did not identify the classification

error, thereby limiting the opportunity to learn from this experience.

I

would appreciate

your views on this aspect of the problem.

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.

FEB 2 'ogq

Should you have

any questions

concerning this inspection,

we will be glad to

discuss

them with you.

Sincerely,

John

B. Martin

Regional Administrator
