presents the scope and results of that inspection.
During the 6-week period covered by this inspection, your conduct of activities at the Palo

and maintenance
practices, and careful radiological controls; however, one

This violation is cited in the enclosed
Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances
surrounding the violation are described
in detail in the enclosed report,
Please note that
you are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the
enclosed
Notice when preparing your response.
The NRC will use your response,
in part,.
to determine whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with
regulatory requirements.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"
a copy of this letter,
its enclosures,
and your response
will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).
To the extent possible, your response
should not include any personal privacy, proprietary,
