Areas examined durin*g this inspection are described in the NRC Region I

Inspection Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these areas, the

inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative

records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.

Within the scope of this inspection, no violations were observed.

However, the

inspection identified a number of concerns that, when viewed collectively,

indicate that an increased level of management involvement, control and

attention to detail is needed relative to the design change and modification

process. These concerns are listed in the Attachment C to the report along

with the reference to the pertinent report paragraph.

You are requested to

address the overall concern regarding management involvement, control and

attention to detail and provide a response within thirty days of the date of

this letter delineating corrective actions planned or taken.

Our inspector also verified the steps you have taken to correct the violations

brought to your attention *in our letters dated February 25, 1987 and July 17,

1987.

We have no further questions regarding the steps you took to correct

Items 1 and 2 in Appendix A of the July 17, 1987 letter. With regard to Items

B and C in Appendix A of the February 25, 1987 letter, these items were not

fully corrected.

We noted that you are taking steps to correct these items; in

your response to this letter, please notify this office of the expected

completion dates.
