REPORT 50-528/94-35:

50-529/94-35;

50-530/94-35

AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Thank you for your letter of February

10.

1995, in response to our letter

and

Notice of Violation dated January ll. 1995.

We have reviewed your reply and

find it responsive to the concerns

raised in our Notice of Violation.

Your

letter discussed

efforts to bring about increased

awareness

and use of the

corrective

action process

and to assign

high priority to obtaining necessary

Technical Specification changes.

We commend your personal efforts in these

initiatives.

We will review the implementation of your corrective actions

e

during

a future inspection to determine that full compliance

has

been achieved

and will be maintained.

In your letter of response.

you stated that there

was

no intention,

as stated

in the inspection report, to abandon Technical Specification limits in favor

of administrative controls.

As discussed

in the context of our inspection

report.

we did not mean to imply an act of wrongdoing or careless

disregard

had occurred.

To the contrary.

our staff determined that your staff had

developed

new administrative limits that were technically adequate

and more

conservative

than the Technical Specification limits that your staff had

determined to be inadequate.

Our concern

was that new Technical Specification

limits were not submitted in a timely manner for; NRC staff review and license

amendment.

To remove any ambiguity associated

with this issue.

attached to this letter

are two replacement

pages for the subject inspection report.

The two

paragraphs

that have been

changed

are indicated by revision bars in the page

margins.

Please insert these

pages in the subject report

and destroy the

originals.
