During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in
noncompliance with NRC requirements, as described in the enclosed

Consequently, no reply to item 1 is required
and we have no further questions regarding this matter at this time.
In reference to item 2 of noncompliance, this notice is sent to you
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.201 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice,"
Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations. Section 2.201 requires
you to submit to this office within twenty days of your receipt of this
notice a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each
item of noncompliance: (1) corrective action taken and the results
achieved; (2) corrective action to be taken to avoid further noncompliance;
a?nd (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
