Subject:
NRC Inspection This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by.Mr. Grayson of this office on December 17, 1981 of activities authorized by NRC License No. 46-19584-01 and to the discussion of our findings held by Mr. Grayson with you and other members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
During this inspection, it was found that certain of your activities appeared to be in noncompliance with NRC requirements. The items and references to the pertinent requirements are listed in Appendix A.
These items have been categorized into severity levels as described in the Federal Register Notice (45 FR 66754) dated October 7,1980.
Item A in the attached Notice of Violation is classified as a Severity Level III Violation in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Criteria.
As stated in Section IV.B of the Criteria, monetary civil penalties are normally assessed for Severity Level III Violations. After careful consideration of this specific violation, we have determined that civil penalties are not appronriate. Similar violations of this type in the future may result in imposition of civil penalties.
In addition to the need for corrective action regarding the specific items of noncompliance included in Appendix A, we are concerned about the implementation of your management control systen that permitted the items of noncompliance to occur. Consequently, in your reply you should describe in particular those actions taken or planned to improve the effectiveness of your overall management control system.
