and to the discussion of our findings with Messrs. T. C. Cooke,
J. L. Corley, others of your staff, and others of the site staff at
the conclusion of the inspection.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined

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

nation 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 noncompliance; and (3) the date when full compliance
will be achieved.
Certain other activities, set forth in the enclosed Appendix B to this
letter, appear to be a deviation from commitments which you have made in
previous correspondence with the Commission. Please advise us in
writing within thirty days of the corrective action you have taken or
plan to take, showing the estimated date of completion with regard to
this deviation.
In addition to the current items of noncompliances and deviations noted
