Gentlemen:

This refers to our letter to you dated December 19, 1978, which acknowl-

edges your intent to halt further placement of concrete in safety related

structures until certain reviews and corrective actions have been completed,

and to our telephone conversation of March 5,1979.

During our inspections

since December 19, and specifically during our inspection of February 20-23,

1979, we have monitored your activities and verified completion of those

specific items noted in our December 19 letter.

As of this date, we have

no further questions regarding the commitments documented in that letter.

We agree that placement of safety related concrete in structures other than

the containment building may now continue.

During our review of your corrective actions, some potential noncompliance

items were noted.

These matters will be communicated to you separately

with the issuance of the report covering this inspection.

Additionally,

you are aware that there are several requests from the public which require

disposition in accordance with 10 CFR Part 2.206.

While resumption of concrete placement in other safety related structures

may new proceed, you recognize that the matter of acceptance of the Base

Mat concrete has not been resolved.

Additionally, you are aware that the

I!RC is reviewing acceptability of the Base Mat.

Pending resolution of

the acceptability of the Base Mat, we understand that no concrete will be

placed in the containment building or its internals except for repair of

voids in concrete already placed.
