and Enforcement Inspection Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within

these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures

and representative records, interviews with personnel, measurements made by the

inspector, and observations by the inspector.

Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of your activi-

ties were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth

taken by you and the results achieved;

to avoid further items of noncompliance; and (3) the date when full compliance

will be achieved.

letter have been corrected as noted in the enclosed inspection report, your

response to this letter need not address those items.

identified during a previous inspection of your licensed activities on December

i

tional weight in the consideration and selection of appropriate enforcement
