Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. J. D. Smith and
Mr. R. L. Hague of this office on January 22 thru 24, 1980, of activi-
ties at Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant, Units I and 2 authorized by
NRC Operating Licenses No. DPR-24 and No. DPR-27 and to the discussion
of our findings with Mr. G. A. Reed 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, obser-
vations, and interviews with personnel.
With regard to the spent fuel pool leakage problem, the leak test you
conducted indicates there are flow paths for leakage to escape to the
environment. Although surveys and tests conducted to date reveal no
environmental concerns, (see Report Nos. 50-266/79-04 and 50-301/79-03
dated March 22, 1979), the NRC is concerned about this matter. Please
respond within thirty days and inform us of your proposed plan of action
and schedule for identifying and correcting the source of leakage.
No items of noncompliance with NRC requirements were identified during
the course of this inspection.
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
enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC's Public Document
Room, except as follows.
If this report contains 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 f'om public disclosure. The application must

include a full statement of the reasons for which the information is
considered proprietary, and should be prepared so that proprietary
information identified in the application is contained in an enclosure
to the application.
We will gladly discuss any questions you have concerning this inspection.
Sincerely,
