held at the NRC Region I office on May 10, 1985 and attended by you and members

of your staff.

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

inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative

records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.

. Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of your ac-

tivities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set

forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A. These vio-

lations have been categorized by severity level in accordance with the revised

NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C) published in the Federal Register

Notice (49 FR 8583) dated March 8,1984. You are required to respond to this

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

Appendix A.

In addition to the apparent items of noncompliance discussed above and in

Apper. dix A, " Notice of Violation", findings of this inspection also indicate

that several weaknesses exist in your design and construction program.

This area is discussed in Appendix B, Significant Observations. You are

requested to inform this office of the results of actions you have taken or

plan to take to improve your construction program in the area of the apparent

program weaknesses identified in Appendix B.

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

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