This letter refers to the special allegation team inspect',on conducted during

the period July 10 through 21, 1989, by Mr. J. P. Durr and other members of the

personnel interviews and observation of ongoing activities including equipment

installations. The results of the' inspection are documented in the enclosed

e

inspection report. The preliminary results were discussed with you and members

of your staff on July 21, 1989.

Several of the activities inspected were apparent violations of NRC

requirements and your operating license. These are set forth in the Notices

of Violation enclosed as Appendix A to this letter.

The violations have been

categorized by severity level in accordance with the " General Statement of

Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2. Appendix C

atmosphere con'lucive to the reporting and discussion of those concernt

There-

have taken and plan to take to improv9 the two way communications between your

>

allegation processing program to assure ourselves that it is responsive and

thorough.
