Dear Mr. Kingsley:
This refers to the inspection
conducted
by J.

October

a review of
activities authorized for your Browns Ferry facility.

the findings were discussed
with those
members of your staff

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.
The purpose of the inspection
was to determine
whether activities authorized

and describe
those
particular actions
taken or planned to improve the effectiveness
of your
program to implement design modifications.

with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"
a copy of
this letter
and its enclosure will be placed in the
