... rally,

S low question 1(a) asked what would have been the safe'ty s:

.s power er normal operation of Grand Gulf with the erro:.

a. r t r...c al specifications and survie11ance procedures.

The staff :sc Se s not address this issue, but rather, discusses the " changes" t:- ::.. technical specifications.

With respect to question 3, you have a; reed to answer the question with respeot to the deferral (rather than e' exemption) of cortain pre-operational tests.

Question 9 requested a sracific identifi-cation of all errors identified in the FSAR and SER and their signficicance.

Tha Staff response does not fully answer this question.

't should be n:.e6 that these are only the most glaring inadequacies in the Staff responses.

Your assistance in providing more complete responses to Chairman Markey's letter are greatly appreciated.
