The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during

interviews with personnel.
During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in non-

We are particularly concerned about the repetitive nature of the examples of

ance were identified in Inspection' Reports No. 454/82-07, No. 454/82-10 and
No. 454/82-22. In responding to these examples of nonco'mpliance please
specify what measures, in addition to those described in your responses to
'previously identified-items of this nature, will be established to provide the
necessary additional assurances that preoperational tests will be conducted in
accordance with test procedures and applicable test program requirements.
