Miller of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.

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

and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the

Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of your activi-

ties were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth

in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.

noncompliance have been categorized into the levels as described in our corres-

pondence to you dated December 31, 1974. This notice is sent to you pursuant to

office, within thirty (30) days of your receipt of this notice, a written state-

ment 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 addition to the need for corrective action regarding these

specific items of noncompliance, we are concerned about the implementation of

your quality assurance program that permitted them to occur.

Consequently, in

your reply, you should describe in particular, those actions taken or planned to

improve the effectiveness of your quality assurance program.

In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title

10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and the enclosures will
