Within

filling and venting the reactor coolant system.
In the examples cited, it
appears that the implementation of your new policies associated with procedural
adherence and the adequacy of an upgraded procedure mai not provide you with
adequate controls over plant evolutions.

specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
In your
response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional
actions you pl~n to prevent recurrence. After reviewing your response to this
Notice, including your proposed corrective actions* and the results of future ,
inspections, the NRC will determine whethe( further NRC enforcement action is
necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
