Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of

corrective action regarding this specific item of noncompliance, we are

!

concerned about the implementation of your management control systems that

permitted it to occur. Consequently, in your reply, you should describe in

particular, those actions taken or planned to improve the effectiveness of

your management control systems.

I

Violations contrary to 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XIII were identified

during previous inspections of your licensed activities on November 6-8,

l

1979, and June 2-6, 1980, and were documented in the enclosure to our

'

letters dated December 28, 1979 and July 7, 1980.

Your letters to this

office dated January 29, 1980 and August 6, 1980 stated that your Field

Construction Procedure was revised to re-emphasize the need for controls of

,

j

stored materials and the contractor responsible for the storage has assigned

l
