Mr. Byron Lee, Jr.

Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. M. Schumacher
and M. Corcoran of this office on November 6-9, 16-17, 21-22, 29,
and December 1, 1978, of activities at Zion Nuclear Power Station
authorized by NRC Operating Licenses No. DPR-20 and DPR-48 and to
the discussion of our findings with Mr. Wandke and others of your
staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas
examined during the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection
consisted of a selective examination of procedures and representative
records, observations, independent measurements, and interviews
with personnel.
The inspection included a review of work done to upgrade the solid
radwaste facility and we recognize that considerable progress has
been made through reduction of manual handling because of
equipment overhaul and reduced dru= ming. However, we note that the
capper still requires manual assistance by cntry to the drumming
room and that drum storage there continues owing largely to the
unavailability of the designed storage space. W2 will continue
to follow closely your progress in this area.
During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be
in noncompliance with NRC requirements, as described in the
enclosed Appendix A.
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. Section 2.201 requires you to submit to
this office within 20 days of your receipt of this notice a

written statement or explanation in reply, including for each item
'
of noncompliance:
(1) corrective action taken and the results
achieved; (2) corrective action to be taken to avoid further non-
compliance; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
The inspection showed that action had been taken to correct items 1,
2, and 4 of Appendix A and to prevent their recurrence. Therefore,
no response to thesefitems is required and we have no further questions
at this time.

Certain other activities, set forth in the enclosed Appendix B
to this letter, appear to be a deviation from accepted industry
practices regarding the operation of air cleaning systems which have
been endorsed by the Commission. Please advise us in writing within
twenty days of the corrective action you have taken or plan to take,
showing the estimated date of completion with regard to this deviation.
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, the enclosures, and your response to
this letter will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room,
except as follows. If the enclosures contain information
that you or your contractors believe to be proprietary, you
must apply in writing to this office, within twenty days of
your receipt of this letter, to withhold such information
from public disclosure. The application must include a full
statement of the reasons for which the information is con-
sidered proprietary, and should be prepared so that proprietary
information identified in the application is contained in an
enclosure to the application.
We will gladly discurs any questions you have concerning this
inspection.
