Dear Ms. Garde:

gg, gs in response to your letter to me dated January 21, 1985 wherein you

asked several questiohn about NRC Inspection Report No. 50-445/84-39. l

p3 e general answer to your questions, you should know that the inspection

conducted was an unannounced inspection which is part of routine program to l

determine whether the licensee is carrying out its activities in a manner

consistent with its ultimate responsibility for safety. All inspection reports

undergo supervisory review to assure that they are comprehensive enough to

adequately cover the subject matter treated in the report. Similar super-

visory reviews are app)ied to reviews of any licensee responses that may be I

required.

'

As a matter of prudent use of resources. I am unable to justify the expenditure

of staff time to respond to the spectrum of questions that could be raised by

'

members of the public regarding the background or reasons for any particular

statement in a given inspection report. However, we appreciate your thoughts

on the report, and you can be assured that the points you raised will be factored

into our normal follwup Process.

Sincerely.
