Gentlemen:

Thank you for your letter, Reference 1, responding to the two items

of noncompliance provided to you by Reference 2.

Your written

response has been reviewed and was found to lack sufficient

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 2.201 of the NRC's " Rules of

Practice", Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, you are

required to submit to this office, within twenty-five (25) days of

the date of this letter, a written statement or explanation addressing

'

'he following questions regarding Finding A (waste gas decay tanks)

,

and the overall vendor quality program:

1.

What specific actions will be taken to correct the nonconforming

- - -

welds on the gas decay tanks? When will this action be completed?

2.

Your letter references a new program for vendor quality assurance.

What is the content of this new program?

Is this program a change

from the program identified in the PSAR?

3.

Your letter states that strong corrective actions have been

initiated to control and correct adverse trends. What are these

actions? What results were achieved?

4.

Do you intend to take any action for other vendor supplied

equipment which has been received at the site? If so, please

identify these actions.
