The item of noncompliance concerning storage of the reactor vessel closure head
and upper and lower internals was the subject of a previous item of noncompliance.
'
We are concerned about the effectiveness of your management control program
that would allow this item of noncompliance to be repeated.
Consequently, in
your reply to the attached Notice cf Violation, please provide separate
comments concerning plans you may have to improve the effectiveness of your
management control program.
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.
If the
report contains any information that you believe to be proprietary, it is
necessary that you submit a written application to this office, within 20 days
of the date of this letter, requesting that such information be withheld from
public disclosure.
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 spacified period, the report will be placed in the Public
Document Room.
Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased
to discuss them with you.
Sincerely,
.
