In the "NRC Staff's Response to Board Memorandum of March 10, 1980",

By cover letter of April 30, 1980 (attached with all enclosures -
including the Investigation Report and the Order to Show Cause), the NRC Office of Inspection and Enforcement issued its inspection report as well as an Order directing the Licensee to show cause why safety-related construction activities should not be stopped ninety days from April 30, 1980, and remain stopped until certain information regarding construction and QA/QC matters is provided to the Director of the Office of Inspection and Enforcement.
The Staff believes that the Board and the parties should await the resolution of. this enforcement action before further con-O w
d 2-sidering the feasibility of engaging in an early hearing on issues related to asserted construction and QA/QC deficiencies. The Staff will inform you of the status of this enforcement action on a monthly basis starti;ig July 1,1980.
