This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. W. J. Madden of this office on

authorized by NRC License No. DPR-59 and to the discussions of our findings held

by Mr. Madden with Mr. R. Pasternack of your staff at the conclusion of the

Messrs. J. Leonard and M. Maltese on July 9 and 10,1979.

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.

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 cct forth in

the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.

These items of noncom-

pliance have been categorized into the levels as described in our correspondence

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.

Section 2.201 requires you to submit to this

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 addition to the need for corrective action regarding these

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

your management control systems 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 management control systems.

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

Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, documentation of your control and accounting
