Areas examined and our findings are discussed in the enclosed report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of an examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and cbservations by the inspector.

During the inspection it was found that the effectiveness of ycur response to identified problems and your QA Program implementation failed to meet certain NRC requirements.

The specific findings and references to the pertinent require-ments are identified in the enclosures to this letter.
