Dear Mr. Warnick:

This office has been advised that Region III of the Office of Inspections and Enforcement is still in the process of conducting an inspection at the Zimmer Nuclear Power Plant, Moscow, Ohio. As you know, because of the concerns of the NRC, a criminal investigation might impair your civil enforcement e f fo rts . Consequently, we would appreciate your advising this office when you expect to complete your inspection and submit a final report. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Sincerely, l
