observations, and interviews with personnel.
!
Based on the results of this inspection, we noted that certain of
your activities appeared to be in violation of NRC requirements,
j
as specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice).
The
violation is of concern because the duration of pump tests were
not in accordance with the ASME Section XI Code for testing of
pumps and valves and could result in erroneous test data.
R
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the-
instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your
response.
In your response, you should document the specific
actions taken and any additional actions you plan to prevent-
recurrence.
After reviewing your response to this Notice,
including your proposed corrective actions and the results of
future inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC
enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with NRC
regulatory requirements.
