These

areas included the reactor operations, nuclear material control and

security programs. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective

examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with

j

not at the reactor console at all times the reactor was not secured, and this

was a licensee-identified violation of Technical Specification H.4.

least weekly,-and this was a licensee-identified violation of Technical

Specification C.2.
