Gentlemen:

This refers to the inspection

conducted

by J.

Tedrow of this office on

September

3-28,

1994.

The inspection

included

a review of activities

authorized for your Harris facility.

At the conclusion of the inspection,

the

findings were discussed

with those

members of your staff identified in the

enclosed

inspection report.

Areas

examined during the inspection

are identified in the report.

Within

these

areas,

the inspection consisted of selective

examinations of procedures

and representative

records,

interviews with personnel,

and observation of

activities in progress.

Based

on the results of this inspection,

two apparent violations were

identified and are being considered for escalated

enforcement

action in

accordance

with the "General

Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC

Enforcement Actions" (Enforcement Policy),

10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C.

The

apparent violations involve

a longstanding

design deficiency involving the

emergency

service water system

and incomplete or inaccurate

information

provided to the

NRC in response

to a Generic Letter.

Accordingly, no Notice

of Violation is presently

being issued'for

these

inspection findings.

Please

be advised that the number

and characterization

of apparent violations

described

in the enclosed

inspection report

may change

as

a result of further

NRC review.

An enforcement

conference

to discuss

these

apparent violations has

been

scheduled for October 21,

1994.

The decision to hold an enforcement

conference

does not mean that the

NRC has determined that

a violation has

occurred or that enforcement

action will be taken.

The purposes

of this

conference

are to discuss

the apparent violations, their causes

and safety

significance; to provide you the opportunity to point out any errors in our

inspection report;

and to provide

an opportunity for you to present your

proposed corrective actions.

In addition, this is an opportunity for you to

provide

any information concerning your perspectives

on 1) the severity of the

violations;

2) the application of the factors that the

NRC considers

when it

determines

the

amount of a civil penalty that

may be assessed

in accordance

with Section VI.B.2 of the Enforcement Policy;

and 3) any other application of

the Enforcement Policy to this case,

including the exercise of discretion in
