This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. L. Briggs of this office on
September 25-27, 1979, of activities authorized by NRC License Nos. R-80 and R-
89 and to the discussions of our findings held by Mr. Briggs with Prof. D. Clark
and others 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, measurements made by the
inspector, and observations by the inspector.
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.
These items of
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
the provisions of Section 2.201 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title
10, Code of Federal Regulations.

office, within twenty (20) 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 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
be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
If this report contains any infor-
mation that you (or your contractor) believe to be proprietary, it is necessary
that you make a written application within 20 days to this office to withhold
such information from public disclosure. Any such application must be accompanied
