The licensee respended to the Notices in a letter dated September 14, 1979.

After consideration of the licensee's response the IE staff concluded that the penalty for one item should be recitted in its entirety and the penalty for another item should be citigated. Accordingly, an Order Imposing Civil Monetary Penalties in the amount of Eleven Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($11,250) has been issued today.

The licensee and the State of Rhode Island are being informed by telephone.

Since the catter has been the subject of an NRC news release, no additional release is planned.
