.

selective examinations of procedures and representative rr. cords, inter-

l

views with personnel, and observations by the inspector.

Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that one of your

activities was not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements,

as set forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix

A.

This item of noncompliance has been categorized into a level 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 statement 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 violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be

i

achieved.

In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part

the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC's Public Docu-

to be proprietary, it is necesury that you submit a written appli-

cation to this office, within twe.nty (20) days of the date of this

letter, requesting that such information be withheld from public dis-

closure. The application must include a full statement of the reasons

why it is claimed that the information is proprietary. The application

should be prepared so that any proprietary information identified is ,

contained in an enclosure to the application, since the application

without the enclosure will also be placed in the Public Document Room.

If we do not hear from you in this regard within the specified period,

, the report will be pieced in the Public Document Room.

In addition to the specific item of noncompliance, the inspection revealed

that once-per-shift operational checks of the liquid effluent temperature

recorder failed to identify malfunction of that instrumentation, even

though the malfunction apparently existed for several weeks. Our interest

is not limited to this specific instance, but concerns the general matter

of prompt identification of malfunctions during routine operational checks

of instrumentation at Rancho Seco.

In you reply to this letter you should

.

'

express your views on this matter'.

I

Should you nave any questions concerning this inspection, we will be

glad to discuss them with you.

-

Sincerely,

.
