porate offices in Hartford, Connecticut of activities authorized by NRC License

Nos. DPR-21 and DPR-65 and to the discussions of our findings held by Dr. Shanbaky

with Messrs. Opeka, Johnson, and other members of your staff at the conclusion

of the inspection, and to a subsequent telephone discussion between Dr. Shanbaky

with Messrs. Rodgers and Johnson on March 20, 1979.

Areas examined during this inspection are described in the Office of Inspection

and Enforcement Inspection Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within

these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures

spondence to you dated December 31, 1974.

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.

this office, within twenty (20) days of your receipt of this notice, a written

statement or explanation in reply including:

(1) corrective steps which have

been taken by you and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be

taken to avoid further items of noncompliance; and (3) the date when full compliance

will be achieved.

In accordance with Section 2.79L of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title

10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and the enclos' ares will
