This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. D. Beckman of this office on

September 10-14, 1979, at the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 1, Shippingport,

Pennsylvania, and your corporate offices in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, of

activities authorized by NRC License No. DPR-66 and to the discussions of

our findings held by fir. Beckman with fir. Werling and others of your staff

at the conclusion of the inspection. This also refers to the meeting held

at the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 1 on Septemoer 12,1979, and

attended by Messrs. Beckman, Keimig, Mc0 scar and Cohen of the t!RC and by

Mr. G. Moore and others of your staff.

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 inspector.

Our inspector also verified the steps you have taken to correct the items

of noncompliance brought to your attention in letters dated March 14 and

August 10, 1979. We have no further questions regarding the steps you took

to correct the item discussed in our letter of August 10. The actions

taken to correct the item discussed in our letter of March 14, 1979, is

further discussed below.

Within the scope of this inspection, no items of noncompliance were identified.

However, one of your activities appears to be in conflict with a commitment

made in your letter to NRC-Region I of April 5,1979, regarding action

taken to prevent recurrence of the item of noncompliance discussed in our

letter of March 14, 1979. With respect to this conflict, which is discussed

in the enclosed Inspection Report as a deviation, please provide a response

to this letter which includes your comments concerning this matter.
