the findings were discussed with you and those members of your staff

identified in the enclreed report.

4

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report and include .

an evaluation of your emergency accountability capabilities during the day _

j

corrected. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective '

examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with  !

personnel, and observations by the inspectors. The inspection findings are  !

documented in the enclosed inspection report. l

capability to perform emergency accountability of onsite personnel during the

area. Based upon this review, the inspectors concluded that Unresolved Item I
