Vice President

300 Erie Boulevard West

Syracuse, New York 13202

Gentlemen:

Subject: Inspection No. 50-220/82-09

,

This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Messrs S. Richards

and R. Paolino of this office on June 15 through 18, 1982 at Nine Mile

- Point Unit 1, Scriba, New York of activities authorized by NRC License No.

DPR-63 and to the discussions of our findings held by Mr. S. Richards of

this office with' Mr. T. Roman of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection

and to subsequent telephone discussions between D. Beckman of this office

and T. Perkins and T. Roman of your staff on June 25, 1982 and June 28,

1982.

Areas examined during this inspection are described in the NRC Region I

Inspection Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these areas,

the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative

records, interviews with personnel, measurements made by the inspector, and

observations by the inspector.

'

Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that one of your activities

was not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth in

the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A. This violation

has been categorized by severity level in accordance with the NRC Enforcement

policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C) published in the Federal Register Notice (47

FR 9987) dated March 9, 1982. You are required to respond to this letter

and in preparing your response, you should follow the instructions in

Appendix A.

The responses directed by this letter and the accompanying Notice are not

subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget

as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.

The violation cited in Appendix A and the weaknesses in administrative

controls for the fire prevention program as discussed in the attached

report indicate management control in this area is inadequate or ineffective.

The nature of the findings suggest a lack of attention to detail by management

in the control of this area. Your response should address this concern.
